Silence of TouchSchool for Rebalancing

Touch is a gift from existence - more and more people in the Humanistic Sciences are becoming aware of it and its potential to realign and harmonise; to 'discharge' the human energy field.

Touch and be touched - Human beings need touch as we need food. Touch is healing for mind and body. Loving touch leads to direct relaxation and release of the hormone oxytocin, which breaks down stress hormones and is associated with feelings of love, trust, serenity and calmness. The brain interprets such touch as a sign of connectedness and a sense of safety. It has long been scientifically proven that touch has a healing effect on the physical and psychological level, regardless of the clinical picture.

As children we mostly did not experience enough contact or have a sense of being held. In our society today touch is also getting less - this often leads to a feeling of isolation, loneliness, alienation and helplessness. We are just beginning to understand how important and profound the experience of human contact is to our inner development and what a tremendous resource physical touch is. The skin is our largest organ and millions of sensitive nerve cells register even the smallest stimuli. Through these cells, touch has a direct impact on the hormonal balance and on the autonomic nervous system, reducing stress, anxiety and tension and relieving pain and psychosomatic discomfort.

The wisdom of the body - The body is a mystery, its wisdom and knowledge is astonishing. The body reflects our lives to the finest detail, it constantly gives us information on our well-being, it leads us if we allow it. The language of the body is very different from that of the intellect - it is a felt, non verbal experiencing. We have forgotten how to listen, how to feel and to act out of our felt sense. Our body is a natural flow of energy and being aligned with it, is to be aligned with your creative potential.
