About this episode
This week I researched the power of touch. There was plenty of information to back up my beliefs. Being touched is the first communication a newborn babe has with those that love them. Skin to skin calms a crying baby, lowers adults' heart rate and sends messages to the vagus nerve for relaxation. These are just a few of the numerous benefits. I also talk about ideas and solutions for those times when you are simply "all touched out." If you are a mother - especially to small children -you know exactly what I am talking about. Sometimes learning to touch our spouse the way they want takes teaching and learning and communicating in love and compassion. Test it for yourself. You will be amazed at the difference it can make in your relationship.
