What a warm and sun filled weekend!! I love the sensation of the sun touching my skin! Touching is a great way to transmit and receive pleasure all day long through sensation. Touching increases body awareness, can provide energy healing, and has the power to emotionally console, or kinesthetically guide the body. One of Nia's Hand Moves is called "Touching"; however, we can actually touch and be touched constantly via our skin. Did you know your skin is your largest organ of your body? The average human being has 21 square feet of skin and about 300 million skin cells. Your skin is constantly renewing itself from the bottom up and takes 52 – 77 days to shed its cells.. Our skin can detect hot and cold, pain and pleasure, and through your skin you receive receive love, compassion, consoling, and comfort just through the touch of your own hands. So be touched! As you walk, let the earth touch the soles of your feet. As you put on your clothes, let your clothes touch your skin. When you take a drink of water, let the glass touch your lips and your hand. As you listen to music, let the sounds and silence vibrate your skin. YUMMM!!!
Oh and once last fact about your skin...Goose bumps are actually little pimples that help retain a layer of warm air over your body. I just got them thinking about dancing with you this week! I'm Touched! HA HA! See you in class.
