Reach Out and Touch Someone
Touch is actually a broad word. Touch can look a lot of different ways. We can touch them physically with our hands or energetically with our being. Perhaps someone is touched by your words, your presence or even a product or service offered by your business. Let’s explore these both on a physical level and on an energetic level.
The Value of Touch
In this time that we are flowing through at the moment, many people are reminded of the value of touch and some people are disregarding it and pushing it away as if it is something shameful or awful. When we look at the Corona Virus, we are encouraged to be distant from other people, to “social distance”. We are not a society to be distanced. As humans on this planet our bodies crave the closeness of others, they crave touch and delight in community.
The power of touch is healing and when we do not allow ourselves to have healing and nurturing touch in our bodies it lowers our immune systems and increases stress and anxiety. The healing power of touch can be measured and when we have the mind, body, touch connection it has been shown to decrease pain, decrease anxiety, lower blood pressure and strengthen our immune system, just to name a few of the benefits of touch.
Benefits of Touch
- Strengthens the immune system
- Promotes sleep
- Decreases insomnia
- ramps up the bodies production of natural pain killers
- Increases oxytocin levels
- Reduces stress
- Increases Joy
Scientific Evidence
Much research has been done on the healing power of touch. Scientists and doctors have studied the power of touch from that of the effect on infants, to the psychological benefits and to the promotion of healing in cancer patients.
When a child is born into the world a direct correlation in the child’s development is related to touch. Infants who don’t receive the hugs and the nurturement that others do often have less possibilities of survival as well as exuding more violent behavior as they grow into adulthood.
People who receive touch have less stress, stronger immune systems and are more self-assured, creating, happy and joyful lives. When we don’t allow our bodies to touch and to receive touch, stress levels increase, productivity decreases and we are less joyful in our everyday living.
There are numerous studies on cancer patients who have received massage therapy and they have healed from very extreme, fatal forms of cancer. Physical contact greatly improves our emotional and physical health. There are many testimonials of cancer patients who have received Access Consciousness body process who have had the very same results, if not greater.
It’s the sense that we most often take for granted—and one cannot live without

Separation or Unity?
Many people, especially right not, are not allowing themselves to get near other people much less touch them and they are experiencing much more difficulty going through this interesting time in our world. What if you followed your knowing? Do you really think that being near another person can harm you or hurt you? Or could it increase your happiness and joy? Do you want to buy into the fear that governing bodies are trying to instill in you or would you like to follow your knowing.
What if letting go of the fear of being around others is what creates more? What if us uniting together is what boosts are immune systems and sends the message to the Universe that we are willing to do what ever it takes to create a greater living future for us and the planet.
