There is no blessing in life like sweet affection, the gift that sooths and heals. No matter what the problem, when we put our arms around a person or animal, pat their head, or hug them, their hurt magically diminishes. The soothing energy of our universal heart reaches out and touches the ailment of their heart. It has been proven over and over again that loving kindness is the best medicine for any painful situation. We can live without food and water longer than we can live without love. Affection is the expression of our consciousness, caring and compassion. Our empathy, sympathy, and understanding are voiced through our hands. This kindness preserves a rewarding reverence for all that we touch.- Harnessing Happiness- moving mind into matter
