Contacto Físico./Physical Contact.

En mi caso particular, desde mi niñez, recibí mucho amor y cariño de mi mamá, pero no de mi papá, quien era frío, muy metódico, planificador. Aunque sé que quería mucho a sus hijos (somos seis hermanos), le dejaba los abrazos, caricias y muestras de afecto a mi mamá. Hay padres que no abrazan, acarician a sus hijos, sobre todo, después de cierta edad, en la adolescencia, piensan que no les hace falta, que son grandes. Esto es un grave error.

Todos los seres humanos debemos expresar lo que siente el corazón en un momento dado. La piel tiene terminaciones nerviosas que sienten las muestras de amor, y todo nuestro cuerpo se beneficia de ello. Hasta a los animales domésticos, debemos prodigarles amor, así como también a las plantas, ya que son seres vivos.

Aunque no soy Psicóloga, pienso que muchas enfermedades son producto de no dar y recibir amor. Cuando damos y recibimos amor, hay “algo” dentro de nosotros que se equilibra, armoniza, nos sentimos bien. Lo he experimentado en múltiples ocasiones.

Una palabra de afecto, comprensión, el dar una palmada en el hombro a alguna persona, sea familiar o un particular, el abrazo, ayuda mucho. Sobre todo cuando sabemos que la persona atraviesa por un momento difícil en su vida. Incluso un apretón de manos sincero, transmite buena energía.

Considero que no podemos ir por la vida, viviendo solo para nosotros mismos, sin tomar en cuenta a las personas que nos rodean. Muchas veces nos sentimos solos, deprimidos, llenos de angustia porque no manifestamos, utilizamos, nuestra parte emocional interna. El corazón tiene muchas cosas lindas para nutrirnos, y debemos conocerlas y expresarlas para lograr un equilibrio en la existencia. Generalmente, las personas muy introvertidas, que guardan sus emociones en lo profundo de su ser, tienden a ser infelices, a sufrir de algún tipo de enfermedad.

Somos seres duales: físicos y espirituales, y la parte espiritual dentro de nosotros necesita expresarse, y la mejor manera, según mi experiencia, es manifestando el amor a nuestros semejantes. Esto nos llena, nos nutre, nos equilibra y hace sentir bien.

Existen personas que viven solo para trabajar, hacer dinero, tener lujos, y se olvidan como muestra de amor: compartir, ayudar a otros, ser solidarios en un momento dado. Viven estresados, preocupados por los bienes materiales.
La vida nos enseña que debe existir un equilibrio entre lo material y espiritual. No es tonto abrazar a un amigo, expresarles palabras reconfortantes.
A nuestra pareja e hijos debemos abrazarlos, besarlos, acariciarlos, decirles cosas bellas.

No es vivir la vida, sino aprender a vivirla, expresando lo mejor de nosotros. Cuando llegue el momento cercano a la muerte, sabremos que no nos llevamos nada material, solo los bellos recuerdos guardados en nuestra mente, alma y consciencia, los cuales serán un tesoro para nosotros, en la otra vida, como dicen algunos filósofos y místicos antiguos.

Greetings to the users and my lovely #Holos&Lotus community.

From my life experiences I have observed that physical contact between human beings is extremely important. Children are very receptive to contact with their parents and other family members: hugging, cuddling and caressing them is fundamental for their mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual development. Many adult traumas are the result of the type of treatment they received from their parents when they were children: physical and verbal abuse, lack of love towards them, having lived in an environment of arguments, conflicts, fights with their parents, etc

In my particular case, since my childhood, I received a lot of love and affection from my mother, but not from my father, who was cold, very methodical, a planner. Although I know he loved his children very much (we are six siblings), he left the hugs, caresses and shows of affection to my mom. There are parents who do not hug or caress their children, especially after a certain age, in adolescence, thinking that they do not need it, that they are grown up. This is a serious mistake.

All human beings must express what the heart feels at any given moment. The skin has nerve endings that feel the signs of love, and our whole body benefits from it. Even to domestic animals, we must lavish love on them, as well as on plants, since they are living beings.

Although I am not a psychologist, I think that many illnesses are the result of not giving and receiving love. When we give and receive love, there is “something” inside us that balances, harmonizes, we feel good. I have experienced this on many occasions.

A word of affection, understanding, a pat on the shoulder to someone, be it a family member or a private individual, a hug, helps a lot. Especially when we know that the person is going through a difficult time in his or her life. Even a sincere handshake transmits good energy.

I believe that we cannot go through life, living only for ourselves, without taking into account the people around us. Many times we feel lonely, depressed, full of anguish because we do not manifest, use, our inner emotional part. The heart has many beautiful things to nourish us, and we must know and express them to achieve a balance in our existence. Generally, very introverted people, who keep their emotions deep inside, tend to be unhappy, to suffer from some kind of illness.

We are dual beings: physical and spiritual, and the spiritual part within us needs to express itself, and the best way, in my experience, is by manifesting love to our fellow human beings. This fills us, nourishes us, balances us and makes us feel good.

There are people who live only to work, to make money, to have luxuries, and they forget how to show love: to share, to help others, to be in solidarity at a given moment. They live stressed, worried about material goods.
Life teaches us that there must be a balance between the material and the spiritual. It is not foolish to hug a friend, to express comforting words to them.
To our partner and children we should hug them, kiss them, caress them, tell them beautiful things.

It is not living life, but learning to live it, expressing the best of ourselves. When the time comes close to death, we will know that we do not take anything material with us, only the beautiful memories stored in our mind, soul and consciousness, which will be a treasure for us, in the afterlife, as some ancient philosophers and mystics say.
