Once I was in hospital with a collapsed lung. The doctor was on my left side pushing a vacuum tube through my chest and between my ribs. The doctor's assistant was on my right side holding my hand and lightly stroking my forearm with her fingertips. All my pain and anxiety evaporated through her touch. It was absolutely amazing.

@@bogtrottername7001 I know it's not my place, we don't know each other, but instantly reading your words made me think of all the elderly citizens who have been stowed away and forgotten in "old age homes " by family who don't have time for them. Those people would sure appreciate your visits and hugs and gentle touch. I used to do that as a volunteer. It can be tough because those places can be depressing, seeing how neglected some of them are, but I focused on the goal of giving companionship to the most lonely and isolated. I learned a lot from some of those elderly ladies and gentlemen. Plus, when we give in this kind of way, it's scientifically been proven to boost our immune function, so we also benefit. ❤

When my son was born he was premature about 6 weeks. The doctors were worried he had menagitus and they didn't allow us to touch him for 3 days and he hardly moved and wouldn't eat, etc. Once he was allowed to be held he came alive and started being much healthier. I am sure it's because he was touched by myself and my wife at the time. It does matter. He's now 28 and in his last year of medical school. ♥️🤘♥️

My father is a cuddler, my mother not so much. In our family, us three siblings feel much closer to our father and will pour our heart out in front of him in times of trouble. I must mention here that our mother is equally loving but not so touchy feely. So yes, the Power of touch matters a lot.
And now that I am married, my husband who doesn't have a history of cuddling in his family loves the cuddling. He says it makes him forget all the worries. In times of COVID when we were newly married, and tensions about our health and our finances were bogging us down, just holding hands used to convey the msg that we are together in this and we will get through this. So not only children and elderly but us adults also require these. Especially in these difficult volatile times when war and disease has violated our peace of mind and has ripped it asunder.
Take care guys and express your love to people who matter to you.

I relate so much to this. My mother is very loving but she doesn't like hugs or touching that much unlike my dad who had it as one of his daily routines to hug us once he wakes up and goes to check on us and for him when he comes back from work. We would line up me and my 4 younger siblings just to great him and hug him once he steps inside the house. But weirdly enough I didn't turn up like my dad and I avoid unnecessary touching at all costs. Even though I am very touchy when it comes to my younger siblings. I don't quit understand myself when it comes to this part of me as I carave touching and to be touched but I avoid It at all costs (unless it's with the kids lol). I hope that If I ended up marrying my now bf that I can be as touchy as possible as I acknowledge the power of gentle touches and how it can change us as humans. btw he also comes from a family with no history in cuddling or touching :")

@@s.f6851 As you said, you avoid unnecessary touching and are very cuddly with your siblings. That just means that you are very selective in your affection and that is totally relatable.

My Grandma passed away two weeks ago, she was 65 and it was an abrupt death. She was literally my second mom and I lived with her for 5 years and she was there for me since the day I was born. When I went to see her for the last time her eyes were glassy and all she could do is grunt but I held her hand and told her how much I loved her. Although she couldn't respond I have a feeling she was comfortable and knew she was very loved. She quite literally was the most innocent person I've ever seen in my entire life, she was a teacher for disabled kids, always donated every week to shelters and homeless, and always found all the simple things in life joyful. R.i.p grandma <3

If you haven't done so already I encourage you to do reiki. And maybe Reflexology too. Reiki adds a lot of healing power every time you touch someone. You can also regularly treat yourself - which might be the most powerful use of reiki. It causes great healing and growth if done regularly. It has that in common with meditation.

My great-granddaughter is a pandemic baby, so it was almost a year before I finally saw her in more than just a photo. Because I have been vulnerable to any kind of infection for several years, I spend most of my life alone, so when that little girl climbed into my arms, it was like being filled with light. I sat there nearly two hours (believe me, I didn’t mind!), partly because she fell asleep. Her Mum was surprised because that had never happened before. I believe it’s because we were communicating at a deep, non-verbal level: entirely through touch ... something I hadn’t experienced in much more than a year. She had a great little nap .... and I walked on air for days.

As an Indian, it’s shocking to listen that physical closeness with babies was frowned upon. Gosh. We have tradition of baby massage, it’s mandatory, develops bond with mom, grandma. Even singing to them is considered good, even when they are in womb. Garbhasanskar is mentioned too. Speaking good and positive while pregnant, reading moral stories etc, music. Massaging mother after delivery is also recommended.

I believe this is a huge divide between east and west but especially between the east and the US. This happened because we are so brainwashed to believe in self-reliance and personal responsibility that we believed that giving a nurturing environment necessary for a child's development was coddling the child and they would mature to a world that won't accommodate their needs, so they should be more prepared for how the world is instead of what is needed. This was the mindset. We never realized the paradox of "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps". At the end of the day, the difference is that you come from a culture that is collectively trained and the west, especially the US, is independently trained. We live sheltered lives and our families and communities are weak if not broken.

There is a foundation in my country that has volunteers hold, talk to and accompany babies that were abandoned after birth. These babies could be born healthy but the lack of care and contact caused serious developmental lag (they don’t fix their eyes, no muscle tone). It’s just evident that we need it and I tell everyone to curtail kids’ screen-play alone time if only for this reason only. And we also need to touch other elements, plus the scent and voice of other humans.

I always wondered why Americans are much more depressed than Mexicans. I always suspected it was because in México we greet everyone with a mini hug and kiss. I remember first hating it because I wasn’t used to it but now I love it!!! The emotional connections I make with people when I travel to México are so strong. It makes the community feel like extended family in a sense. I feel so lonely here in the us even though I’m surrounded by people.

My niece demands touch on a regular basis and really was my only source of touch. Now that I moved a 1000 miles away with no family nearby I deeply miss that.

But, on the other hand, there is a tradition (Ayruveda medecine) where touch is highly important. And not seen as obscene, but as unconditional pure empathy, , without any other intentions.
Also, in India, babies are massaged during early years until about the age of 5. That makes them strong and healthy for life ! 😅
In other places of the world, it is also taboo to touch someone, one doesn't know. Or in a loving (but not sexual) way. A pity.

One time, they took me to the hospital, for the attack became severe -- I thought I was dying. I prayed to God to not take me yet and what He did was brought me into this weird site about the power of hug to a depressed person. It's so not me to ask for a hug so my sister then was hella surprised when I asked them to hug me one night. Like magic, it lulled down the roaring loneliness in me to a deep, calm slumber. After 3 yrs, without the help of medications, God freed me from the abyss. I'm now a hugger person. 🤗✨ Even my son, who's always sandwiched between my arms, seeks my presence more than anybody else.

Some people don't want to be touched by strangers. It Fs with their Chi and overall energy.

I hate being touched without permission. If someone attempts it a second time after being warned, they're liable to eat a spin hook kick to the face (or hand, if they're lucky).

Permission to touch isn't granted by default, and it should be MUCH more sacred. A lot of the world Fs this up because they're extremely ignorant on energy/Chi/vibrations.

Touch can be truly electrifying, even the slightest tip of the finger touching yours. It's crazy when I really realise that I don't get that single touch and people just go past me everyday. So when someone accidently touches my hand, I feel as if it's something huge. It depends on the person though.

Exactly. I have never understood the science behind leaving kids crying on their cribs without touching them to allow them to “self- soothe”. I will never practice such a thing in my life time should I have the privilege of having kids.

I'm the little sister of two brothers. Once I got 104 fever with severe body ache. I was 12 years old then and they were 14 and 17 . My parents were out for job. My brothers started washing my head with cold water, puting cold compression all over my body and gently massaging my arms and legs. Within 40 minutes my fever went down to 101, I felt much better.

This is true and Ive noticed it especially in older ppl.. they need to feel loved, but many of their relatives dont even hug or kiss them when they visit them.

You are correct, it is a cultural thing connected to psychology. Countries can either have a collective individualist society or a communal society. Individualist societies, likes The USA, promote independence and lack of emotions, and dealing with issues on your own rather than sharing. Communal societies, such as Brazil and other southern American countries, promote community, sharing with others, and vulnerability.

As a RN I could have written a paper on how effective touch is to vital signs like heart rate , respiration and blood pressure, and the pain went down sometimes away (that can be due to gate control theory of pain but could not be too). It calms people down from anxiety, pain, tension, sleeplessness and restlessness So many times I just grabbed an old persons hand and the transformation was astounding, I knew this early on in my career and have used it frequently in order to connect with my patients and help them in times when doctors don't give medication to calm or help any of those issues. It is my go to when trying to calm patients down, I do everything possible to get into their space where they feel comfortable just letting me grab their hand, I know once I got their hand 50% of what was going on will decrease. Its better than medications at times because it last longer and has a better chance of working without any side effects. It why I get a massage.

I think this documentary hit the nail on the head, we all yearn to be part of the group, to belong, be loved... Touch is a tremendously important (yet underestimated) part of that; I've always been aware of touch and it's subtle power, so this documentary is very cathartic. I definitely lack physical affection and a sense of belonging, been so long since I've been hugged, kissed or even caressed that I can't even remember the last time, and I feel tremendously lonely. But thank God for my cat who is very touchy-feely and physically affectionate, I always feel better after spending time with her; I do wonder if an animal's touch and affection can impact us like human touch.

I had to close my eyes or turn my face away during parts of this video when people were enjoying being touched. It made me so sad with longing. I've used 6 tissues already to absorb the slow tears.

I was unable to get through the video. I strongly dislike being touched. But I was also raised in a very physically, emotionally, and mentally abusive family. It has made me seek comfort in going long stretches of not dating. I know this isn’t normal but it’s so confusing to me , foreign even when I see people comfortable with being touched. I want to be “cured” but even the thought of exposure therapy makes my anxiety go through the roof. Being touched makes my skin crawl and it is so hurtful because I want to be able to like hugging the ones I love.

Greetings. I am a Reiki practitioner who works in a trauma informed way. This means I work with people where they are at without judgement. For people who cannot be touched, I work above the body starting a foot away. In essence I work with the bioenergy field. When a client is ready they are free to let me know if I can work closer to the body but still off the physical body. I have one client going on three years who is now ready for physical touch but only their feet. It is amazing progress for them! It is an honor for me to work with all my clients. If you are open to it, consider finding a Reiki practitioner who is trauma informed. It can be very healing and supportive.

I’ve been saying this for a while, and this needs to be communicated to as many people as possible. These past two years, tech has tried to tell us that the internet is all we need. The incipient, dystopian Metaverse pushes that notion even further and it is frightening. Humans NEED touch -and not only touch, but to hear the voice and smell the scent of others. It has way, way more effects than science has described so far. I always knew it; but after a lockdown where I had vast space but limited interaction, I am certain.
