By gently touching certain body zones, relaxing, activating and euphoretic hormones are released. With a compact exercise program, Franz Benedikter shows how, by touching certain trigger zones of the body, we can have a positive effect on the body through the psyche by way of self-massage and partner massage, which is much more like tender touching. As proved by the latest scientific findings, touching the skin triggers hormonal reactions. Endorphins bring feelings of happiness, increase the willingness to achieve, intensify the vital feeling and heighten sensory perception. This very effective program introduces a new age of tenderness. Above all, tenderness is skin contact, the feeling of warmth and closeness. A life without stroking is only half a life. We can naturally live without tenderness, but not live happily. People who have not been touched tenderly and stroked are less open, sometimes unsociable and lacking in warmheartedness. A healthy person has a great longing to be touched. Sensitive touching has a very relaxing effect and is a sensuous experience at the same time. Franz Benedikter is a psychologist and has a practice close to Rome in which he helps his clients in individual or group sessions to deepen the contact to their body and create the best possible hormonal basis for a healthy, happy and liberated life. Specific techniques, amply illustrated, for touching the body to stimulate beneficial hormone flow. You learn massage, stroking, and caressing techniques, trigger points and zones, and how to restore hormonal harmony. Benedikter describes treatments for freeing the psyche of inhibitions and blocks, deepening the contact between the "I" and "You," and connecting the self with the environment. Includes exercises for individuals and partners.
