To touch is to come into contact with, to affect, to feel — an essential aspect of human experience.
Touch is the ephemeral dance between two bodies, a sensory symphony that connects us to the world around us. An arm on your shoulder, the embrace of a loved one, your hand on your heart — small gestures that seek to quiet the noise of life, reminding us of our innate need for connection.
Important in relationships with ourselves and others, touch can help to regulate heart rate, mood and immune function. It’s a form of communication and releases hormones that reduce stress, anxiety and depression. Human touch has been shown to improve social bonding and increase empathy.
To embrace touch is to welcome the sensory experience of human connection.
