Physical and Emotional Benefits of Human Touch

The human touch is one that has literally been a subconscious part of us since we have been in existence. As a matter of fact, it is practically impossible to not come in physical contact with people, especially if you are in close proximity to them. 

The sensation of human touch is used for various purposes including attracting attention or just for the very reason that touching is ingrained into our subconscious.

There are various angles or aspects to touch but one that stands out is its effect on physical relationships and emotions.

Can You Relate? It Just Might Save the World.

Adult and Baby Hands Intertwined

I got up early to get a head start on work to find my parents sleeping late in my guest room (which doubles as my home office). So frustrating. I can’t get anything done around here.

Can you relate?

As I write, I’m listening to my father talk to my husband about the possibility of prep school for my son. Who is two. Eye roll.

Can you relate?
