A Seek Reality Online member asked, “As I was saying goodbye in my self-guided afterlife communication, I asked for a hug and felt an energetic force that straightened my posture from head to toe. It happens relatively slowly, but it feels autonomic, like something is moving me. Have you heard this happening to others?”
Yes, and you’ll be very pleased to learn what happened to you. I explain what happened in this video.

The feelings of an energetic force surrounding you that you’re describing are common. People feel the energy of hugs and kisses. They are not tactile, but clearly are what a person feels after the tactile sensations. In other words, when we are using a body, we have the experience of touch. After the sensation of touch, we have mind experiences such as happiness, feeling of energy, tingles, and other effects. When we’re receiving them from our loved ones in spirit, we may have a physical experience such as a cold or warm or tingles. They are the counterpart of the touch. Then we may have feelings of happiness and knowledge we’re being hugged or kissed. The after effects are the same. We don’t notice the after effects so much when we’re hugging or kissing someone who is using a body on Earth. We get the sense of touch strongly, so the subtle feelings after the touch are less apparent. When we are having the experience with someone not using a body now, we register the experience in the mind that would happen after the physical experience of being touched.
It’s important to realize that all senses are experiences in the mind. The body feels nothing. It is insensate. Experiences happen only in the mind. So we feel a touch, but it is only the experience of a touch in the mind. We see an object, but we are only seeing the object in the mind. As a result, when we are communicating with a loved one nearby who is not using a body, we get the mind sensations of seeing, hearing, touching, and so on. They are real experiences that are the same as the experiences we have after a physical sensation when using a body. We just skip the body part.
There are many examples in afterlife communication accounts. In an induced after-death communication experience, the client, sitting with his eyes closed, was having a conversation with his brother in spirit. Suddenly he opened his eyes and told the psychotherapist he had a startling sense of having a claw around him. The psychotherapist had him go back into the scene and ask his brother what that was. His brother responded that he was giving him a hug.
