The Practice of Universal Touch: Seven Integrated Health Practices of Intrinsic Touch Energy

Universal Life Energy can be felt as a subtle sensitivity to touch that reaches beyond the physical sensation of touch, and is described throughout this book as a "Universal Touch," that we can be aware of as intrinsic (touch) energy that surrounds and pervades the physical body, as well as being energy that we feel and breath throughout our bodies in every moment of our lives. The Practice of Universal Touch looks at seven energy dimensions in life that include; breath, meditation, diet, exercise, intuition, touch and nature, where intrinsic (touch) energy can be developed as a direct and intuitive practice. This deeper understanding of touch is profound and if rightly embraced can lead to lasting health, happiness and fundamental peace.
