The Magic of Touch
The Magic of Touch
Having time at home has made me think about the magic of Touch and how much I miss being able to greet someone by clasping their hand or giving them a hug. Social distancing is really important in keeping us safe and we must follow Government advice but Covid-19 has highlighted how very important Touch is to our emotional wellbeing.
So lets see just how remarkable Touch is.
Touch
is the first sense to develop in the womb it has a critical influence on how babies develop.
Touch
Is the link between the world around us and our brains.
Touch
Releases the body’s natural ‘feel good chemicals’ endorphins and oxytocin.
Touch
Can reduce stress and even pain. Studies have shown that simply holding a loved ones hand can deactivate the stress-related regions of our brains.
Touch
Is healing. Touch between mammals can act as a natural painkiller.
Touch
Is a basic human need, without it we experience ‘skin hunger’ or what neuroscientists call ‘affection deprivation’.

Lifts our mood, helps us feel more relaxed and reduces our levels of stress and anxiety.

Is truly life enhancing.
