Healing Through Therapeutic Touch

I am giving a talk about Therapeutic Touch for your wellness.

Here is a snippet from the talk.

There are small ways you can approach your wellness.

Have you heard the saying, 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'? Yes, diet is a huge factor.

The surprising benefits of hugging relate to Therapeutic Touch!

Did you know that any form of Therapeutic touch can help support psychological safety?

According to a statistic I found in Healthline magazine, ·

4 hugs help prevent depression and support emotional survival, ·

8 hugs help maintain mental stability and calm, and ·

12 hugs encourage real psychological growth and deep well-being.

The therapeutic touch of a basic hug promotes happiness and releases oxytocin! We are exchanging energy!

There are times when we experience stuckness and exhaustion. That's where a wellness practitioner comes in, and that's where Therapeutic touch, that gentle touch of love, can be highly beneficial in your healing and bringing you back to safety.

An analysis published in Nature Human Behaviour, which integrated 137 studies involving nearly 13,000 volunteers, measured the exact physiological impact of touch modalities. The quantified health benefits found that therapeutic touch yields 'medium-to-high efficacy' across several key biological markers, feeling safe, reducing stress, depression, anxiety, and pain, and stimulating the release of dopamine, aiding in healing!

So why do many avoid or procrastinate to the point we hit rock bottom?

We can be in misery and look for that quick fix when our bodies are screaming! We search for peace, creating more space for growth, clearing our minds, and relieving the stressors of mind, body, and spirit.

We also search for instant relief, wanting to feel grounded and safe.

The energy from Therapeutic Touch can be delivered in many ways, as a form of energy medicine to assess balance and clear blockages in the body's energy field.

Reflexology is one of the best-kept secrets, where therapeutic touch of your feet, hands, head, and ears is done using thumb, finger, and hand acupressure techniques to relieve tension, improve circulation, and bring back the nervous system to balance all at once.

Keeping in mind 'Sole to Soul,' supporting your wellbeing.
