Skin Hunger: Guide to the Language of Touch - Paperback

by Mariana M. Brosnan (Author)

You have skin hunger. You have not had a hug in weeks. You live alone or in a crowded house where everyone is too busy. No one has time for a coffee and a talk. Each touch from our in utero experience till today is recorded in the cells of our body and interpreted as emotions. The pleasurable touches measure love and acceptance while the negative implies apathy or rejection.
Throughout our lifetime your skin has been waiting to soak up the good experiences of hugs, affirmative touches on the shoulder and a good massage. In return your immune system will be boosted, you will feel empathy, reduce body pains, have emotional satisfaction, your spirit will be recharged, longevity will be realized and your wallet gets fatter. Touch is your best defense against loneliness and depression and illness. You need more touch and you will learn why and how to add this loving contact in your life and feel your spirits lift.
