The Healing Power of Touch

Did you know physical touch has the power to heal by transferring vital energy between human beings?

Dr. Harvey L Gochros explained, “We develop a form of emotional scurvy that we call by different terms: depression, stress, anxiety, aggression and midlife crisis.  Lack of touch is just as detrimental to our health as a lack of Vitamin C and just as easy to remedy.”

So interesting!

Human beings have a universal need for touch.  

In one horrendous study babies actually died from the simple lack of touch.

When intimacy is lacking in a marriage, serious consequences can also be found.  Lack of physical touch often leads our minds down a lonely path of feeling isolated, sad, depressed and unaccepted.

To be clear intimacy doesn’t always imply sexual contact.  There are many ways to start filling your “touch bucket” right now.  

1- Give lots of hugs

2- Hold hands

3- Stroke hair or skin

4- Snuggle or hold each other in the cradling position

5- Give massages

What holds you back from touching more?

I know it will take some effort.  It might even feel a bit awkward when you start being more liberal with your touches. 

Just do it!

Your health and relationship just might depend on it.

…but, “What if I just don’t want to be that close to anyone?”
