Loading ...I had to go to the City Centre yesterday. In the middle of the pedestrian mall was a man holding up a sign with “FREE HUGS” written on it.
Juan Mann the "Free Hugs" man and myself in Sydney on 9-10-08
I had seen a lot of video clips on youTube about the Free Hugs idea. When it started the police tried to stop it. A petition was signed by a large number of people and Free Hugs were allowed to continue.
I walked up to the man, gave him him a hug and then talked to him about the videos I had seen. Then he told me that he was the originator, it all started in 2004. His name is Juan Mann and he has a blog www.freehugsguide.com
Hugs are therapeutic and very yogic, there is no doubt about it, they make us smile and feel good, this in turn makes the world a better place!
