Completely agreed! Why should I hug random people or guys who are just hugging for the sake of physical pleasure? That is mentally uncomfortable. I Believe in Hugging only those who care for you and are concerned about you.

[@xrxs1020]

"Why should I hug random people or guys who are just hugging for the sake of physical pleasure?'' You shouldn't. But there are other dimensions of hugging. To me hugging is a sign of universal acceptance, love, harmony, and grace. It doesn't have to be extended to just anyone, but it fitting in certain kinds of spiritual or creative groups. This brand of hugging has nothing to do with sex. To me, hugging is like a foretaste of what's to come, symbolic of Heaven and Infinity. Besides that, speaking as a long-time social dancer, some of the best dancing is called Close Embrace, which is similar to hugging and is a beautiful way of dancing, along with more open positions. The two dancers needn't be lovers. Close Embrace is simply a closeness with another human being in which the closeness, or hugging as it were, isn't sexual. The world is largely unaware of the dance world. If one is in charge of one's self like Sadhguru is, then one simply handles it in a mature manner. Done. Simple. Beautiful. Not harmful, but wholesome and uplifting.

[@cimmerianfable]

Who even hugs random people tho?? You don't even wanna touch or be touched by the strangers, isn't it?? Hugging feels heavenly only when it's done with the ones you truly love & are attracted to.

[@johnybrokeit]

@anoushka gokhale I don't want to agree that we hug for physical pleasure. But it Is complicated, not simply cuz I am Indian. When I hug someone I know I'm not going to get any sexual satisfaction from it, but the mere thought of hugging a girl, getting close to boobs (if I were to be blunt) works an intense chaos or series of explosions in a dude's brain. It also isn't a culture thing I must say, cuz, even my American friends have very little need to go out of their way to hug another guy friend. But with a girl, they jump on the chance without even a second's thought. The strange thing is that when you hug someone you can't feel the boobs or anything... cuz it's just fat, so it holds no ummm mass? I dunno... never needed to put this in words till now. We can't feel anything to be accused of doing it for physical pleasure. Unfortunately. But the sheer thought of getting close to a gorgeous girl and holding them, is enough to cause a preemptive strike on our funny male brains. But eventually when we are in the act (haha) we realize that it is pleasant and warm and comforting and completing for us. Just like it feels for women. And why I think hugs essentially are so uplifting especially in this chaotic world. Sadhguru makes a killer point here though. But yeah, I think it's complicated. So I avoid it as much as possible. Only when I'm leaving someone or meeting someone after say 5 to 6 months is when I hug either sex. A funny note also, is that, when you refuse a hug women sense it and they desperately neeeeed to hug you somehow because of it hahaha. Unbelievable. So I give up and let it happen (o poor me!).

[@johnybrokeit]

@@cimmerianfable I'd hug a random person :) if I felt like they needed one. Of course I'm human and so my brain kicks in to cleanliness mode and starts firing me with demands to check if I could get any disease or dirt from them (yikes! I did day I am human haha). But when the heart says go, it's a split second decision and they get attacked with the hug haha. Genuinely not for me; evidence? A lot of times it's for guys! And I'm 110% not gay.

[@RaVNeFLoK]

Guys who hug for physical (sexual?) pleasure must be so starved of it one can hardly imagine it. Or in love. I can tell you that most guys do not derive any sexual pleasure out of a hug. In my part of the world we think nothing of it - I hug my closest guy friends as well if I haven’t seen them in a while. When I hug a female friend it’s the same. One shouldn’t hug strangers though. That would indeed be weird and pushy. That’s what a polite hand shake is for - or just a nod of the head - I agree. Sometimes I just think some woman think guys more sex crazed and weird than we actually are.

[@talori5417]

One time I was at a money seminar and everybody was walking around giving each other encouraging high fives, when this monk walks up to me and gives me the warmest embrace. I lightly hugged him back with the pat on the back thinking it would soon be over but he kept holding me, I nearly broke down and cried. He then released me and did the same thing to another person. I wasn’t a very touchy-feely person before this. I vow to be a great hugging healer one day. 🙏🏾🌹

My dear friend a Yogi saves his/her energy. A person who meditates should also keep this thing in mind because energy from a meditator is absorbed by others around him/her. It completely drains them if there are people who have weaker aura around them or who eats meat or have negative mindset. A Yogi suffers if he is around people for too long that's why they normally keeps distance.

Hug is an expression of love and affection, in India is it common to hug family and friends. In fact, it can uplift you and make you feel good. It is obvious that you not hugging random people, it is only known and close circle people fall under that category. In fact there is a Saintly lady in India who hugs people to heal them. People from far and wide go to her just for a hug, so nothing wrong with giving or getting a hug, positive vibes from one body get transferred to another.

Yes! definitely you can feel “negative energy” same as you can feel positive energy! Learn to stay grounded and get a sense of the negative from a distance. If your energy is positive, centered & strong, your energy will not be swayed into negative. If you do feel it, shake it off with your inner positive (amplify) Somebody with some negative energy does not necessarily mean they are bad or of ill intent but their vibration is low and possibly in need of some positive! WE ALL go thru various positive & negative energy thru life simply because we are made up of energy. The key is to always try to keep within a higher vibration as much as possible via a healthy mind & body which all comes from good nutrition, sleep, exercise, relationships, meditation. The human touch when given in a respectful way can be healing for both the giver & receiver! Do not fear a hug.

In my opinion, he is trying too hard to look and sound like he is important. My gut instinct is turned off by him. I clicked to hear because the title is so off. Whatevs.

This actually explains a lot ... Not just physical touch. I could be sitting on a train absorbed in my book and be disturbed by someone sitting at a distance who is staring at me. Nowhere near close enough to touch. A sort of 6th sense. How many times have I walked down a quiet street and been startled by the presence of another person behind me who wasn't there before. And this person not even close enough to touch, making no sound.

[@evetteshuk4372]

After watching/listening to Sadgurus videos over the last 6 months, this is the first one that really made me pause and question physical touch and hugging other humans. I have come to the conclusion: I disagree. I believe in touch... touching with intention, love and light. Touching another is validation of their being-ness, It let's you know "Isee you". It produces oxytocin which promotes health, immunity and well-being. One of the root causes of death is loneliness which acts as an amplifier and worsens all other physical and mental issues. I have held the hands and embraced many as they left their physical bodies. Recently a friend asked: "If I'm still single when I die, will you hold me, and hold my hand?" I didn't even have to think about it and answered "yes"! It's a personal experience and each is allowed to do what's best for themselves.

I will definitely discuss this in Therapy thanks Guru, I have always said I was a hugger but now I see the deeper meaning behind it 😉

[@Lou-Lou8343]

You sound like a kind and compassionate person. I think it's strange that a kind and caring gesture towards others is tantamount to a failure to thrive. I think people who were not embraced enough by their mothers can have a greater understanding of the importance of a simple hug. It doesn't mean you're needy or flawed as this man suggests. It's just him using a narrative to fit his culture ,his way of life ...his opinion. Of all the things in life we can choose to make ourselves better people, to stop hugging one another isn't one of them. We should stop all the shooting, cursing, hating, hurting, ostracizing, ignoring, killing, marginalizing, bullying, torturing, murdering, abandoning, lying, raping, abusing, humiliating, and all the other evil things people do to one another....but hugging? Hugging doesn't belong on this list.

[@rev3182]

On the flip side, a hug has great value and meaning. It can instill hope, love, comfort and so much more. Study after study shows the importance of human touch and how serious mental and emotional disorders stem from lack of touch. And if it is love we are choosing to share with another then exactly how is this harmful to anyone? Twice in my life while hugging two different people, our hearts began beating in unison and we were aware and surprised by this so to me, a hug has more power than we realize, it can bring people together in a way other forms of touch can't. A hug is a loving warm non-sexual gesture which I believe should be encouraged with willing participants. There is a big dif between the loving touch of a hug and what transpired with Jesus. The woman who touched Him reached out with FAITH and because of her faith she was rewarded and healed. Jesus noticed her touch because her faith triggered His healing power and He felt this. Trying to compare a hug with this experience is completely erroneous and loved by the video poster...no great surprise as one who walks without the true light of this world likes to drag as many as possible into the hugless, lonely pits....just like the governments...stay six feet apart...don't touch, don't breathe in each other's presence....and now...don't even hug....what next...don't talk to each other as it may disrupt the sanctity of your perfected thoughts? That's actually not a far cry from the ridiculousness of not hugging each other, the one human physical act that perfectly shows human kindness, compassion and love.

Beautiful revelation, Sadhguru. I feel like hugs and embraces work just fine if both parties carry positive vibes, or even either one is highly positive. It definitely helps the one with less positive vibes. Hugging has its own miraculous healing in some circumstances. Practising it moderately and only when needed, would be wise =)
