Sending Love and Joy ✨

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week! I understand we all have ups and downs. I look at cuddling / Massage as a therapy and stress reliever for people , Including myself . How are you all feeling and what are things that help your regulate your mood? How has cuddling affected your life ?

  • I did a float yesterday in a sensory deprivation pod at a local spa. It is the perfect environment for deep meditation as it removes ALL outside stimulus (sound, light, smell, and to the greatest degree possible even touch as you are neutrally buoyant in body temperature water). I find them very relaxing both physically and mentally (well, most of the time).

  • @JohnR1972 I have experienced that sensation a couple of times and I am on the fence about it. I think if you do not have anything heavy weighing on your mind at the time it can be therapeutic. But if you have a mind that races or is extremely self-aware, the deprivation can amplify those thoughts. I think it really depends on one’s frame of mind on any given day.

  • Had my last 3 massage appts cancel. Hoping 4th time's the charm later this afternoon. Cuddling does improve my mood, unfortunately I can't do it as much as I want to.

  • @FunCartel I 100% agree with you. I shared an experience I had about a month ago in a thread called “Last Night I Dreamed…”. That experience left my rattled to my core but it also served as a catalyst to get me active in environmental protection.

    The dream / vision I had during that float was probably fueled in part by some research I had been doing on global trade and some very shady business practices of US companies moving literal “dirty work” to developing countries.

  • @robroo So sorry to hear that. It really stinks anytime something therapeutic and healing is canceled.
