The Healing Power of Touch and Massage

When we say touch we mean full body skin-to-skin contact with affection and safety present right. That is the formula for nourishing touch that then releases a whole cascade of hormones and chemicals and nourishment into the bloodstream. For so many of us safe affectionate touch ended somewhere in our toddler years if we ever had it at all if we ever have it at all like this was a story this wasn't individual stories this was a widespread condition people were talking about whether or not they were in relationships. And I felt that sense of being lifelong malnourished finally being fed.
