I still remember the baby monkey I saw in a cage in Thailand many years ago.
She was crying, desperately yearning for an intimate connection, for the loving care that every living being deserves.
Yet, she was only a decoration, an attraction to pull in tourists. Her helpless cries for affection touched something deep within me, reminding me of the innocence and purity that longs for love in every living creature.
She wasn’t crying for freedom in the physical sense—she was crying for love, for that nourishing touch that tells you, you are cared for.
When my beloved cat, Lila was in heat, she needed more affection than usual, a more loving touch. I would sit with her, stroking her fur, offering her the comfort of my hands.
I could sense that through this touch, our bond deepened. It wasn’t just about physical affection; it was a silent conversation where love flowed between us.
I could feel that we were connecting on a deeper level, building a trust that only the language of loving touch could create.
And then, there was my friend—a human being like you and me, who had been single for a long time. He confided in me one day that he felt lonely, that he was yearning for an intimate connection. What he wanted wasn’t complicated or romantic; it was simple. He just wanted to be hugged, to feel the warmth of another’s touch. So we hugged for hours, fully clothed, creating a connection that was innocent yet profound. Later, he told me that he felt more loved, more fulfilled, and even more connected to himself.
These experiences taught me something so powerful. Whether it’s a baby monkey, a pet, or a human friend, we all share the same need: to feel a loving intimate connection.
It’s as though we are all yearning to return to something we’ve always known—the unconditional love we felt when we were in the womb.
From the moment we grow inside our mother’s womb, we are surrounded by love. We feel the gentle touch of the womb itself, and through that touch, we receive nourishment, warmth, and the vibration of unconditional love.
This is our first experience of intimacy—a pure connection to the Divine Mother, the force of life that nourishes and sustains us simply because we exist.
But when we are born, something changes. We enter a world where touch is often tied to expectations, and where love is conditional. Over time, we begin to forget the simple, divine intimacy we once knew.
The cocoon of unconditional love fades, and we start to feel disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and from that pure source of love that was once so close to us.
Yet, that memory of the womb, of being held in love, remains deep within us because it reflects the true intimacy with our pure HEART.
It’s why we naturally yearn for intimate connection. We are always seeking to return to that space of unconditional love, to feel safe, nourished, and held just for being who we are.
Just like the little monkey in the cage, the lonely friend, or my cat, you, too, are seeking to come back to that place of loving intimate connection.
You yearn to feel the safety of being seen and held without any conditions—just as you are. It’s a part of our human nature, our soul’s desire to reconnect with the source of love, whether through another person, through animals, or even through nature.
Touch is the sacred language that can guide us back to that place. When you offer or receive a loving touch, you’re not just connecting on a physical level. You’re nourishing the soul, shredding layers of loneliness, and creating a space where you can feel whole again.
It’s a healing that goes beyond words—it’s a return to intimacy, to the Divine connection that exists in all of us.
Whether you’re offering to honor the sacredness through touch to a small child, a warm embrace to a friend, or a caring touch to a plant, remember that intimacy exists within all beings.
It’s the life force of love ever-present, possible to be awakened through the art of touch.
So, I invite you to move forward with a new awareness.
Let each touch you offer be a reminder that love is present, that connection is sacred, and that within every gentle embrace or comforting hand lies the power to heal.
The art of touch is ancient wisdom—a practice of knowing without words, of feeling without explanation. It teaches us to slow down, to be fully present, and to meet each other with reverence. When offered with love and respect, touch becomes a profound act of nurturing, a way to awaken the spirit and nourish the soul.
So may we return to this art of touch as something sacred, each touch a reminder that we are all connected, loved, and held in the tender embrace of life itself.
In this way, touch becomes more than physical—it becomes a bridge back to the heart, a pathway home to the Divine within each of us. And as we move forward, may we remember that each touch carries its own energy, an intention that speaks to the soul. Whether comforting ourselves, offering love to another, or simply brushing against the Earth, let each touch be infused with the warmth of awareness that within every form of life is the desire to connect with the pure heart which is kindness, the clarity of respect, and the healing energy of unconditional love.
