CONTACT COMFORT



Physical Touch is something that doesn’t necessarily make sense to modern day science. 

But the mind and body are inextricably connected. 

With every physical ailment we have, there is a corresponding mental or emotional cause at the root of it. 

Touch is also a way to communicate without words. 

But touch can be corrupted, especially with physical or sexual abuse. 

Our relationship to touch may be destroyed or confused

So Teal Swan explains that it is vital that we improve our relationship to touch, because it is something physical humans literally cannot live without.
