Everytime we touch!
Goosebumps are when I start writing my piece. The feeling that happens to me when I think eran. I just posted a piece on my work page and there was also a song that was so appropriate. It touched me, that now there are so many people alone who simply get no touch, no kiss, no #knuffel and can't even date like this morning the word Quarantinder. Looking for a neighbor is not there at this time because you have to keep your distance.. Because what does a touch do to us? I know we're almost not thinking about it, but suddenly it's not so normal anymore and so many of us are suffering. Elderly who sit alone and do not get the hand on their shoulder or touch a hand when they are sad. Their throats are pinched because they can't pronounce their suffering anymore, because how do you share feelings without anyone sitting near you? You miss the eye contact, the energy that someone transfers to you, and the touch when you feel the need. All of a sudden, this is the new normal thing, and if it's up to the government, well, the WHO, because they now determine everything that happens in the world. A touch a hug or a kiss what does it do to our health, Your heart rate drops and your blood pressure drops, Your cortisol will decrease so less stress, Oxytocin is released and so happy and positive emotions are put on the rise, Stimulant of the hippocampus (is very involved in organizing what you imagine in your mind about something) It boosts our immune system, Activates the vagus nerve (It is the most important parasympathetic nerve of the autonomic nervous system) Gives the feeling of connectedness, Gives your self-confidence a big boost and helps you the fear and nervousness.
The skin hunger that people now experience will cause many physical but also mental complaints. The damage can't be overlooked. I'm so worried when we head towards the fall. How many people will be burned out and depressed? A touch gives us energy and nourishes body and soul. Hopefully these people will soon be able to satisfy their skin hunger...
Teltjeswijsheid; a touch is never forgotten, the body keeps remembering it! A big virtual hug from me
