Wow that is such an interesting comment. We all know that each culture is different in it's beliefs but I never really considered that a whole country would not have much physical contact, and that is a way of stopping personal connection and unity.

I'm sure it was a bit out of your comfort zone to become more open to touch, but so great that you have done this and now enjoy sharing massages and putting your hand on someone's shoulder. Touch is powerful, hugs have been known to reduce stress and heal.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.
