The Power of Touch

The Power of Touch

According to the New York Times, there is evidence that little touches really do mean so much. We’ve often heard about how psychologists study nonverbal communication, including vocal tones, and facial expressions. They both have the same meaning around the world. There are many more signs and signals that are considered to be universal human vocabulary that are nonverbal.

The first language that we learn is physical touch. The energetic field that is transferred from one person to another can be such a powerful conversation. “For instance, a high five can reduce stress. A warm touch sets off a release of oxytocin, a hormone that helps create a sensation of trust, and to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol.”

It’s even evident that massage and skilled touch can mean so much to Alzheimer patients. The intentional caring touch helps reassure those who are confused, calm those who are agitated. It also helps increase body awareness, ground the disoriented person into the present time and space. It’s incredible the amazing affects that can happen just from human touch and contact.
