Touch is the simplest and most intimate of communications. When someone touches us we know instantly the feelings communicated. We all know how reassuring a hug can be, how a kiss can relieve us of all the pains of the day, and how much comfort a backrub gives when our muscles go in spasm. When a mother cuddles her baby, when you caress your loved one, when you are patting your pet, or when you shake hands with someone, powerful energies can be released as love, respect, lust or indifference. In the absence of touching and being touched, people of all ages, race or class get sick and neurotic. People long to be touched and treated like living beings and not as objects. Simply by touching their hands, looking into their eyes, gently massaging them, holding them in your arms, or breathing in the same rhythm with them, a subtle shift in the chemistry between you and the other person takes place, your differences are dissolved and it brings comfort and consolation to both of you.
Spoken language so often becomes a mask and a means of clouding and confusing the relationship. When the spoken language is silenced the only communication left is body language. It is then that truth finds way to come to the surface. No words are so clear as the language of body expression.
One of the most useful exercises for a couple in love is to attempt, in complete darkness and communicate without spoken words and visual senses. Transmit a definite message to each other with only tactile elements of body language. Tell your lover, I need you and I will make you happy. A touch expresses, connects and closes the distance. Use it fearlessly….
