Jamie McIntyre says that sleep is over-rated so here you will find the buzz on Emotional and Financial Intelligence as well as Personal Development, Wealth Creation, and inspiration to Live the life YOU Love.
I have something to share with you. Yes it has been quite some time since I went into Melbourne CBD to offer some Free Hugs inspired by Juan Mann who founded this campaign on the simple principle of giving a stranger a hug… and I have to tell you that I have had some real fun and challenges editing the footage, however… it is here!
If you are thinking of joining the Free Hugs worldwide campaign, I have recently learned that there is an illustrated Free Hugs guide available and it is filled with descriptions, anecdotes and iconic illustrations of over 30 different styles of hugs that leave the reader with a lasting impression.
So firstly, let me introduce you to State of Man (SOM). They are an awesome band based in Atlanta who totally RAWK and have a reputation for being “One of the East coasts premier acts” (XM Satellite Radio). They kindly agreed and gave me permission to use their inspiring song Swallow Your Fears to accompany the footage. Yay!! Thank you SOM.
This song was chosen by me because it was written to inspire you to move beyond fears caused by past disappointments in life. A song about living, trusting and loving again. A song that made me feel like I was alive and free. It made me want to hug the closest person to me when I first heard it so I thought it apt for adding to this footage.
If you like the music, please consider becoming a fan of State of Man in Facebook or click the banner to join the club and support them.
Feel free to share this post with your friends and family and get SOM love for this wonderful band State of Man. I have also given you the download link for the movie and it does require a Flash Embed plugin for Wordpress blogs.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the hugs that brought smiles to the faces of many people including my own
“Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures depression,
reduces stress and induces sleep. It’s invigorating, rejuvenating and
has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial
ingredients, nonpolluting, environmentally friendly and 100 percent wholesome.Hugging is the ideal gift. Great for any occasion, fun to give and receive,
shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, is fully returnable.”

Allen I believe the world would be a whole lot happier and relaxed if there were more FREE HUGS given out.
Hey JB, thanks again for allowing me to use “Swallow Your Fears”. I think it’s a great hit and it needs to spread… so here’s to spreading the seeds of love with this great song and Free Hugs. Peace…
Welcome Ayad… it was a pretty awesome day hugging people. We were out there for 4 hours so there were many more hugs than what you see in the video. It’s good to have indescribable feelings… that’s what we need to pass on! Hugs
Ange you are awesome - that was amazing. I did a post on free hugs a while back and always thought it would be fun to try … one day.

Great video clip, Ange. We need a bit of that here in Ottawa. Here’s a virtual hug for one of my favourite online ladies.

Great clip Ange……You couldn’t be any more correct in regards to the positive effects of a simple hug. I know that for me IT CHANGED THE ENTIRE COURSE OF MY LIFE……and catapulted me onto a path last year that has led me to the here and now. Who knew that a simple hug from a stranger could have such a profound effect on the course of one’s life

Hi Ange,
I’d have to go to Australia to do any free hugging. Where I am right now I can be charged with sexual harassment, or acts of lasciviousness. LOL!
But I agree with you on what it can do and what it could mean to all those who are involved in such an activity.
Perhaps I should start one wherever I am eh?

[...] Next up is the effervescent Ange from AngesBiz.com. I first met Ange a year ago during an Internet Marketing course, and was immediately impressed with her positive, can-do attitude. Always willing to try new things, Ange blogs about Emotional and Financial Intelligence as well as Personal Development, Wealth Creation, and inspiration to Live the life YOU Love. She is an advocate for positive thinking and the Law of Attraction, and if you happen to be wandering around downtown Melbourne, you might even catch her giving out Free Hugs! [...]
