Healthy Coping Options
Is what you are doing bringing you closer to overall well-being, or further away?
"When we stimulate the skin, we can release, literally, a shower of healing chemicals into our blood stream." ~ Deepak Chopra
Touch can soothe, comfort and convey caring in a way that words never can. Touch has the power to heal us, connect us, and ease pain. It also lessens anxiety and softens the blows of life.
The simple act of healthy touch is so powerful that it can slow your heart rate, decrease your blood pressure, and strengthen your immune system.
