Book excerpt: The Power of Touch is written to enlighten on the anatomy and physiology of touch within the brain and how such integration influences our interpretation of objects under tactile stimulation. Touch conveys great power to those attentive to its cues and can serve as a means of influencing others. Touch is the only physical sense that is of itself a love language in need of livening, quickening, and from time to time, revitalizing. Touch is not only powerful for us, but it is also necessary for our development both physically and, more importantly, emotionally. Without touch in the formative years, we may literally fail to thrive. Our digitized world has expanded our horizons of gadgets to engross our time, but the detrimental effects upon relationships and skills touch are expanded upon. Communication involving our tactile sense, as well as looking at touch from a metaphorical perspective, is addressed to view how touch imparts on others. Last, the origins of Osteopathy and how touch in and of itself is pain relieving round out that which are touched upon within.
