This article caught my attention right away.I love the touch of a person. weather it is a hand on your hand,or a person hugging you ,A kiss on the cheek, the touch of a person is like having a warm and fuzzy feeling run through you…
I believe human touch is the next best thing after, the eyes, you can judge someone by how they look at people, and you can judge them also by touch, as touch is the gateway to sincerity !
Child hood sexual abuse causes w0men to distrust or like touch.
THANKS for this article on HUMAN TOUCH! I am a REFLEXOLOGIST and yesterday I offered three one hour foot rubs to clients, two with various health ailments (diabetes/high blood pressure/ prostate gland issues) and one with EMOTIONAL ISSUES re: a close relative who is terminal, etc…all clients felt and observed SUCH IMMENSE RELAXATION as WELL AS INCREASED STRENGTH AND ENERGY, with the acceptance that DETOXING was going on in all of their body cells as well. YES! THE HUMAN TOUCH IS HEALING, RESTORATION, REVITALIZATION AND REJUVENATION ….ALL IN ONE. THANKS FOR YOUR ARTICLE! IT IS WELL RECEIVED.
yes you are 100% correct. when wife shake hand and greet good day to husband,children hug their parents to show happy day,relation show touch to their earlders,friends hug each other gives so cheering on the day ,no wards to it.
I totally agree with you. Hand holding and hugging with a loved one is always soothing and relaxing effect. It improves immunity as good as great moral support. I have experienced it in crisis conditions.
I was raise in a house-whold that we hug, each other plus on my job I made it a point to hug everyone that came to my clinic,Did not miss one patient at all but that what you call ,good old fashion home training,
touching is the most wonderful thing all our texting,facebook etc doesn’t do it
thats why we hug when we meet watch them on the view hugs hello
even my persian cat has his moods at times he wants to be picked up and hugged touching
the best every a.m. i get up and my honey gets up we have a little kiss good morning
and touch each other
You are so right on in your article about the human touch. I was so lucky to have parents who knew how to hug and hand-hold. And, now after 45 years of marriage and 45 plus years of being with my special guy who also knows about hugs, caresses and hand-holding, well… it just makes you feel that everything will be okay.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise’ with me. I do agree with everything that you have said. Isn’t it wonderful to be reminded again and again. Thank you very much. Irma.
I soooo agree!
Ahh…. Such a soothing, serene and blissful article.
I just wanted to say that I agree with you totally about everything that you said about the human touch but sometimes a person wants to hear the words not just go through the motions. And sometimes a person gets tired of making love because too much is too much. Too much of anything is no good. I mean it feels like he just wants me around for sex and that gets tiresome, and I know in my heart that he does not respect me so I have no other choice but to go my own way and find someone who does. Enough is Enough!
there are some people who dislike being touched – physically at least and I find any touch on my back painful – how to the people who dislike being touched find these things?
I liked this article. I think it is very important to touch as well. I feel like I have a hard time expressing love and end up expressing negative emotions as a defense.
Thank you!
I agree with everything you said. I also know that hugs are contagious. Every one need a hug and a pleasant word said to them. Can’t get enough I Love You either.
