A hug is the most natural way of maintaining personal as well as social contacts & it is definitely the best way to communicate your concern, involvement, & attachment.

Greeting hugs are common having no hidden or secret meaning but there are other types of hugs that may carry secret, invisible or an intimate meaning conveying specific feelings. There appears to be a very thin line between a general greeting hug & an intimate/ specific one that could only be understood & felt by the involved persons.

Hugs can primarily be divided into the four main categories namely Relations, friends, partners, & formal but each of these categories can further be sub-divided into different types having individual perception, identification, expression, emotional support, closeness, friendship, mutual respect, deep love, & caring concern. One thing is certain that any kind of warm & pleasant Hug decidedly embraces deep emotions, unconditional support, serious concern & an intimate sense of affection in all types of relationships.

Once you are able to feel & understand the nature of a real hug, then only can you possibly underst&, analyze & ascertain its true expression to the extent it affects your body, mind, & soul. Next time someone gives you a hug, just try to analyze his/her body language, expression, & overall feeling of understanding you get. A hug can convey what you cannot express in words & therefore it can be used as a powerful tool for communicating your sincere feelings without saying a word.
