1) Total and complete surrender of weight. He allows himself to completely sink in to the surface area of his snuggle, ie me, and merge with it by releasing all tension, all weight. He doesn't try to make himself lighter, worry about his alignment, or worry about anything for that matter.
2) He gives his weight and mind completely to the object of his snuggle and the present moment. In the moment of total snuggle-ness, time goes away, and there is no need or desire to do or be anywhere else.
We can take a lesson from this. This surrender if weight is found in the yoga sutras of Patanjali. Patanjali talks about "ishwara pranidhana" or complete and total surrender to/with the Divine as a way to reach the state of samadhi, or becoming one with your "dhi," your highest state of knowingness. This implies a relationship with an object (the divine, aka your big S self), where you completely surrender your weight (all your crap), you are free of tension and in the present moment with no desire to be it do anything else.
So find your dog, or another snuggling guru, whoever has mastered this art, and take a lesson. Then take what you learn and snuggle up to the divine. Completely surrender your weight, release tension, and enjoy the sweet state of the divine snuggle with the Infinite.
