Chapter 1: Touch: An EssentialElement of Life
When was the last time you touchedsomeone? Try to think about it. This morning, you woke up. You rolled away fromyour partner or spouse onto a cold ground. You jumped into the shower, used awashcloth to cleanse yourself, and leaped into your car to drive to the coffeedrive-thru before work. You greeted the person in the drive-thru, and you tookthe coffee from them without touching them.
You sat at your desk. You had meetingswith other professional people, and you reached across the desk in order to shaketheir hands. There. Thats it: your first touch of the day. It is firm, and itis brief. It is meant to be cold and formal, and it brings you no relief fromthe morning stressors. When you get home from work, do you touch your friends,your roommates, or your family members? Do you hug your spouse? Do you findyourself an island in this world of reluctant touch? Do you find yourself holedup in an age of technology, never seeking the healing abilities of a simple,warm embrace?
Touch is an essential element of yourlife: one that yields ultimate healing. In our world of spinning machines,humming cell phones, and constant computer screens, our sense of touch hasdiminished to give way for other, less organic mechanisms for healing. Evendoctors utilize machines in order to scan bodies; they no longer look to theirhands to aid with their diagnosis.
