The Unrecognized Power of Touch

Sep. 6, 2005 - The Hand/Heart Connection

In Sufi dance and in Tantra yoga (and in many other traditions), there is the hand/heart connection. Partners place one hand on each other's heart and then you place your other hand over your partner's hand that's on your heart. Look into each other's eyes and breathe together, sending "love" in whatever way you wish. This powerful touch exercise can fill you and your partner with peace and happiness. Just make sure you get permission first.


There are so many "hands-on" ways to connect with someone and pass the message via touch that you sincerely care. This is the loving language of appropriate touch. Notice how many times a day you do that with family members and friends. Have you ever done this exercise with your child or partner? Perhaps you could increase the number of times.


This simple act can bring more love to this world. You can also vividly imagine doing this with a loved one who is at a distance, perhaps someone affected by Hurricane Katrina or afflicted with an illness. Ask permission from a meditative state that's open to your friend's soul essence. Quantum physics proves that this is possible, not just "woo-woo."
