The Miracle of Embrace

There are two kinds of embrace: a healing embrace and a destructive one.

The Miracle of Embrace ~ john b. bejoA mother who embraces her children in the morning,
a father who picks up a kid after a hard fall and carries her in his arms,
friends who hug each other after a period of separation,
lovers who sit side by side looking at the same direction: It's healing.

Embrace unites us, fuses us, touches our unseen wounds and heals them. It soothes the tensed muscles, neutralizes anger, secures the scared child within, and radiates an aura of love around us.  Such is the power of embrace.

An embrace may be destructive, however, when it suffocates, squeezes, controls, obligates and makes decisions for others. 

Embracing denotes acceptance of the person we embrace and giving of ourselves as well. It’s a mutual exchanged of ourselves.

A genuine embrace is free. It is an act of giving while receiving. When a person embraces another, there is no more distinction between giving and receiving: both happen at the same time. It is the most natural expression of love.

Embrace to love.
Embrace to forgive.
Embrace to say sorry.
Embrace to accept.

Embrace to receive.
Embrace to be free.
Embrace to live.
Embrace to heal.

Embrace to be healed.
Embrace for nothing.
Embrace to be yourself.
Embrace to be embraced.

Embrace to be happy…
