A title that shall likely stir some mixed emotions, however, touch is one of the five incredible senses that we as humans get to experience. We do not seem to hesitate to cuddle our pets, yet, I experience many people are uncomfortable with touch.

When we are born we need touch to survive. Then as we grow up, the world around us teaches us many diverse things about touch. There are many societal, cultural, religious and familial expectations and teachings. I personally feel we are missing out on one of the most healing, loving, caring ways to share and express as humans.

When I took the test to see which one was my top “love language” I discovered – drum role please…, mine is TOUCH! Yep, no surprise to me. I do love to share and receive touch, for me it is a way to say I truly care, I see you, I appreciate you and I am so grateful to share time…. I hope you will take a peek at how touch exists in your life.
