The Healing Power of Touch

¹⁸ And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.  ¹⁹ And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. ²⁰ And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.  Luke 6 vss 18 – 20

From the moment humans emerge from the womb of our mothers, we are reaching out to feel with our hands and fingers.  We are eager to touch.  We touch ourselves wherever we can reach.  There is something miraculous, magic and mysterious about touch, touching and being touched.  It is an experience we seek out and want over a lifetime.

Many of our mothers fed us from the bodies, their breasts.  Touching women’s breast is a male obsession and fixation from the cradle to the grave.

Humans touch themselves and ideally enjoy shared experiences of mutual touching for pleasure, relationship maintenance and development.  People experience different levels of emotion if they are not touched enough or if they are touched too much.

Partners in marriage experience frustration and misery when one has stopped touching the other.  No touching suggests no interest.  Questions arise with tension that only touch can resolve.

Spouses and lovers die taking their premium touch with them and people left behind feel its absence.  Conventional rules of spirituality lock them into behavioral contexts that exacerbate their disappointment and unhappiness.

Few among us do not enjoy the warm breath of the one who loves us blowing gently on our ears and neck while touching us in ways only we share with each other.  Humans do not do well in the absence of affirming and loving touch.  We can get crazy.

How shall we learn to manage getting our needs met in way that electrify us, ground us, and sanctify?  Observe the Healing Power of Touch in The Life and Ministry of Jesus reveals the Healing Power of Touch
