Loving Touch

A client was getting a massage. She was talking about her relationship with her fiance. He finally opened up to her that he feels he would like more touch. After much discussion, they determined that his family is more demonstrative than hers. No matter what the excuses, that need is still there for him.

A suggestion was that private massage lessons could help them -- especially her -- learn how to start to feel comfortable touching each other. This idea is a good start but not truly the solution.

As she spoke about her situation, her hands were clasped over her heart -- guarding that area. The relationship is open enough that her own body language was pointed out to her -- laughter and acknowledgement, yet deep rage at her fiance.

Why so much anger at him? Because, he is now challenging her to open her heart. He does not just want touch from her -- he wants what's underneath the touch -- love.

We can all feel the vibration of love when someone caresses us truly from their heart. This is, essentially, what he is looking for...not just touch...but love and touch and/or loving touch.

We can touch someone with our hands, we can touch someone with our words, we can touch someone with a gesture of some sort.

However, we only ever truly touch someone when we touch them from the love that resides in our heart!

I hope that this has touched you in some way today and that you may pass that energy on to someone you love deeply.
