TOUCHED
Sometime
ago, I felt a touch.
What was it I was feeling?
These hands behind me
Guiding my way
To places I'd never gone.
A gentle nudge, a sudden push
A light calm upon my shoulders.
It all felt good, it all felt safe.
These hands and this direction.
Giving up my struggle
Of doing it all my way.
Surrendering to the touch
My world changed.
Living a different way
Easiness came to me
Not knowing where I was going
And being okay with that.
Gentle and flowing
Dancing, flying, whirling, twirling, swirling
And letting go.
Letting this grace carry me
To people and places
I'd never known
The behind the scenes directions
Inspired me just to be.
To ask questions
Of myself, and of it.
To align with others
Who had been touched
And those who had not
Bringing love, peace and joy
I am touched and touch others.
And life is new.

he laying on of hands as a means of
healing has been around for centuries, much longer then
there have been written words on the subject. Massage as
a healing technique |
|
is thought to have been in use as early
as approximately 3000B.C. in China, although the first
writings on the subject did not appear until
approximately a millennium later.
The term "massage" encompasses
a natural healing technique that has proven benefits for
every human being, from infancy through old age. An
infant thrives from the touch of its mother or even a
relative stranger. In countless studies, infants have
exhibited failure to thrive when deprived from the touch
of another human being. For prematurely born infants in
particular, a regular regimen of infant massage can
literally mean the difference between life and death.
Children living in orphanages in various parts of the
world, lacking the simplest touch of another for months
on end, can develop serious, often irreversible, mental
and physical impairments.
At the other end of the lifecycle
spectrum, the elderly population (generally from age
70), have specific physiological and emotional needs,
many of which can be helped from therapeutic massage.

"Providing
SAFE
TOUCH in today's world is
essential for the wellbeing of the planet. It
brings us back to a state of rest and repair
where we can unwind and begin to rejuvenate.
Most dis-eases are stress related, and massage
therapy significantly reduces levels of
stress." |
|
|
|
How does the therapeutic massage benefit
the body? Massage has been attributed to marked health
improvements, including stimulation of the major systems
of the body, a significant increase in circulation
leading to increased levels of oxygen to the brain, an
enhanced digestive and elimination cycle, and an
increase in healing time from major illnesses, surgeries
or injuries.
In the area of mental health, massage
and healing by touch has been shown to improve an
individual's body image, to increase vitality, to be a
conduit to self-nurturing behavior, and has a truly
significant effect on stress and all the detrimental
features humans can experience as a result of stress
overload.
Humans have a basic need to be touched.
We are social beings, and we are energetic beings. The
laying on of hands in a nurturing and caring way is
vital for our overall right to live as healthy, complete
beings. |
