@CuddleMeYummy ~as energetic beings, we ALL have this capability---I just think it got lost among the struggles of securing material needs. Maybe during this time of separateness, we'll become RE-sensitized to the healing exchange of energies...whether in person or across distance?

Now being a month since I hugged anyone, I am considering this. Like just looking into someones eyes while I hug a body pillow and listen to comforting music. Then again I may just try it with watching eye contact ASMR videos. Coming up will all kinds of ways to cope like lying on top of pillows to simulate both the softness and pressure of a hug, deep breathing exercises and vagus nerve stimulation.
Lots of food for thought here. Thanks, everyone, for sharing your ideas!
