The Healing Power of Touch

As a nurse I have always been aware of the positive power of touch. sometimes a simple hand on an arm can convey more than a thousand words. I was always hugging, comforting and massaging my patients when it was needed.

I have always been a tactile  person and I used touch to comfort my patients and their families when I worked in the ER. I found it to be a great healer, calming influence and somehow gave even the most ‘tough’ person a boost, sort of ‘I know how you feel and it’s ok’

So when I read or rather listened to Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol, I usually read through my eyelids and snore at the same time so I tried the audio version and it was FANTASTIC, the guy who read it was brilliant.

Here is the link to Amazon for the audio version:)

Sorry I digress, where was I? Oh yes, Dan Brown’s book, in it I discovered noetic science and the proof that touch combined with positive, loving thoughts could affect how plants grew.

Well, I decided to test this concept out for myself, because it sounded so logical and real, if you know what I mean.

I began in the orchard to heal the young trees damaged by the chemical spray drift. the young trees deserved all the help I could muster

I have removed the really damaged, deformed leaves & buds, the reasoning behind this was to divert their energy into regenerating new healthy growth. Instead of them feeding damaged parts.

Everyday, for weeks now I walked  up the orchard & talk to the trees, I brush my hands over their tender small leaves & stroke their branches.

I also tell them how beautiful they are and give them reassurance that they will grow big and strong, I tell them, they can do this.

I have had wonderful results. Mist have re-grown new leaves, but they might have done that anyway. The peach tree seems to drop all it’s leaves to leaf curl early in the season & grows healthy ones again.

But, I know my daily wanderings have been successful because I have a Lime tree which our naughty goats ate, after the Telecom guys left the house gate open, 2 years ago.

This poor tree has not done well since, I have moved it around the house in the hope it would recover, but it has never grown a single leaf.

This year I potted it up and took it out into the orchard and left it among the other trees, when I went to tell it how beautiful it was yesterday, I had to do a double take….It has very very tiny buds!!!

I am so excited, just imagine the possibilities…
