Thus, many of us already suffer from a deficit of touch, and restoring that deficit brings us back into balance again.

Usually, healing and rejuvenation happens gradually over time, and is not the main objective of a session. In some cases, however, the healing aspect takes centerstage. In this series we cover aspects of healing via meditation, touch and massage.
