Touch


one cannot underestimate the power of touch.  as we know, human touch helps the release of feel-good endorphins for both the giver and the receiver. this is why whenever i brush wifey's cheek, or kiss the back of her ear, or run my fingers through her hair, a magical moment is instantaneously created for us both. surely, constantly touching a love one builds a healthier, sexier, and closer relationship.

after years of marriage, and having gone through various bonding sessions with my daughter, the inescapable conclusion is that touch is a complex language, and i am happy to realize that it pays to improve one's vocabulary.

how about you? how do you fair in this department? are you fluent in the language of touch?

    Quid, I have always been a tactile person, it is the way of my language.  Although a lot of people can't handle that.

    You can say more with one touch than you could possible say in a thousand words.

    Sometimes the best touch can be one in which you and the person you are touching is completely ad lib, unconscious.

    We have such an immense capacity to feel, our skin is the biggest organ of our bodies, with more sensors in the brain than any other organ creating the perfect environment for touch to be the mainstay of our communication, learning and sometimes growth ~ emotional.

    I love this post! can't wait to read what others think.

    yes, lucy. a touch conveys a thousand words. it is both candid and eloquent; silent, yet articulate.  a single  touch is the absolute and clearest manifestation of  how connected our being is to the one you are touching. the contact point becomes the bridge on which your soul can lovingly walk to embrace the other. a simple touch ignites a fire that consumes you both.

    I'm better with touch than I am with words even on a bad day. This post is beautiful. :)

    Nice post.. I remember how a baby would react when touched. A warm hand, an embrace, a kiss.. (yeah, i love feeling children's kisses in my cheeks) ..it just melts my heart.

    But I still have to learn its art. :D

    I will keep coming back to read others also.. Lioness Ohhh Babies you hit my soft spot! I can quiet a cranky baby and do you know that when you are changing a fussy infant if you hold his arm firmly toward their chest they will be calmer. It is the free falling feeling they got when not firmly held or wrapped you can even take a part of a receiving blanket to secure upper body while changing. They have always been snug inside and warm and when they are released the startle reflex ..makes them feel insecure .

    wala pong anuman quid..

    Hmm.. I honestly can't calm a crying baby, haven't tried it yet, they seem to be annoyed more.But yes, i love babies. Those are very nice tips waking, thanks! :D

    you know, i've always been big on touch, myself. i'm a hugger--i think that's in part a reaction to my parents being typically asian, to be honest. :>
