Touch

Touch is a part of me.
I easily Touch people as I speak.
And, I admit, I’ve come to some misunderstandings.
Even so, it was after I started working with massage, that I realized how sometimes some people feel embarrassed by such a simple act.
Often, someone refuses to receive a therapeutic massage given by a professional of the opposite sex.
And why?
Because of the sensuality intrinsic to Touch.
The concept of sensuality used here implies the sexual Sense and the sensory Sense, that is, the sensory relationship that the act of Being in the world forces the Human Being to experience.
The line that separates a more sexual Touch from a more therapeutic one is tenuous, so any one of them can provoke sexual excitement!
This is just an instinctive, organic response to Touch stimuli.
By Touch we obtain well-being.
By Touch we share Love, affection, Care and desire.
Be it a more vigorous and fast Touch or a more subtle and slow Touch.
Did you ever wonder why?
Because of the positive effect that Touch has on our nervous system.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body.
It covers the whole body and serves as a link between external stimuli and the nervous system, through the thousands of sensitive receptors it contains.
So Touch is vital to the well-being of the Human Being.
Through Touch we can contribute to the Transformation of the person we Touch.
As Kusum Modak* said, «Little by little, the body opens like a flower, petal by petal».
And if the body opens, also the mind, the heart and the spirit connect to that opening.
This connection brings greater Awareness of our body, its potential and the Flow of vital Energy.
In short, we feel more flexible, both physically and mentally, we feel more free emotionally and more connected to the subtle world.
Interestingly, Touch helps relieve the fear and embarrassment that can arouse in some people, as it helps to balance Self-esteem and Self-confidence.
So give in to Touch and Be Happy!
