We live in a culture where most people are deprived of touch. People drive around alone in their cars and many live alone. At work there is a fear that touching someone will be considered sexual harassment. At school the concern is that touching a child may be seen as inappropriate. Yet what most people crave is human touch. We want to cuddle up and connect with other human beings. We want to give and receive love through our biggest organ, our skin. Touch is an important human need without it, babies will die, children act out and adults go crazy.
Today is a day to give and receive touch. Ask for a hug from a friend. Give a hug to a complete stranger; remember to ask for permission first. Snuggle up with someone and just BE together. Get and/or give a massage. Take a bubble bath. Be your own lover, touch your entire body and love it just as it is then self-pleasure slowly, with no goal in mind.
Try this: Spoon with a friend/ lover. The person behind places their hand on each chakra; root, belly, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, crown then breathe into it together, do this from root to crown, then switch roles. Notice what happens, Share your experience.

I love this post on the power of touch. There are people everywhere deprived of human contact coming from a place of love, caring and simple kindness. Touch is essential, powerful and healing. Thank you for this Tantra Tip.

Couldn't agree more with the touch and hug techniques. My partner and I both have sensual touch and quality time as our primary love languages and we just cant go for more than a couple of minutes when together without kissing, touching, holding hands, hugging etc. Its incredible what happens after we have been at this all day and the time comes to get together.
