1
00:00:01,290 –> 00:00:03,480
Can you feel it coming?

2
00:00:03,810 –> 00:00:06,450
Something’s waking up inside.

3
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:11,040
Hearts ablaze, we’re standing tall.

4
00:00:11,319 –> 00:00:14,780
Breaking chains of yesterday.

5
00:00:15,610 –> 00:00:25,674
Dead America finds it’s voice,
in the darkness, we make choice.

6
00:00:25,985 –> 00:00:33,725
Truth and healing lead the way,
hearts ablaze, we’re here to stay.

7
00:00:33,725 –> 00:00:45,415
Rise from ashes, come what may,
we’re finding hope in disarray.

8
00:00:46,285 –> 00:00:51,420
Today, we are speaking
with Njideka Olatunde.

9
00:00:52,980 –> 00:00:54,840
Could you please introduce yourself?

10
00:00:54,840 –> 00:00:58,050
And let people know just a
little more about you, please.

11
00:00:59,835 –> 00:01:00,795
Greetings.

12
00:01:00,795 –> 00:01:04,965
And Ed, I wanna thank you for having
me as your guest on your show,

13
00:01:04,965 –> 00:01:08,955
and I’m looking forward to sharing
information with your listeners.

14
00:01:09,345 –> 00:01:14,414
I’m Njideka Olatunde, my background,
I’m a naturopathic practitioner

15
00:01:14,865 –> 00:01:20,715
and my specialty is relieving
pain using the power of touch.

16
00:01:20,715 –> 00:01:25,395
And the technique that I use is
called touchology, reflexology.

17
00:01:27,030 –> 00:01:28,710
Uh, I like it a lot.

18
00:01:29,130 –> 00:01:36,690
You know, after researching you,
I’ve, I’ve listened to a few of your

19
00:01:36,840 –> 00:01:44,580
podcast episodes, and a lot of this is
interesting to me because I’m a chronic

20
00:01:44,580 –> 00:01:52,515
pain patient myself and I, I have
been having that day to day and, you

21
00:01:52,515 –> 00:01:56,805
know, it just adds up when it happens.

22
00:01:57,225 –> 00:02:04,855
But a lot of that pain that comes
to me is from stress, you know, and

23
00:02:05,955 –> 00:02:12,795
if I’m not able to control my stress
levels, my pain just shoots up.

24
00:02:12,795 –> 00:02:19,935
And, uh, they, they call it, in the
medical field, uh, fibromyalgia.

25
00:02:20,775 –> 00:02:24,615
And it’s a widespread pain of the muscle.

26
00:02:25,455 –> 00:02:34,605
And it took me a long time to understand
how stress is related to my pain.

27
00:02:35,115 –> 00:02:42,690
Now I’ve got physical injuries that
just compiles and everything together

28
00:02:42,690 –> 00:02:45,480
just makes me sometimes useless.

29
00:02:46,440 –> 00:02:56,610
So talk to me about touchology and how it
can help me and others relieve our pain

30
00:02:56,610 –> 00:03:00,510
symptoms due to stress and physical pains.

31
00:03:01,815 –> 00:03:07,785
Well, what you just said is the
first key, understanding the

32
00:03:07,785 –> 00:03:10,485
connection between pain and stress.

33
00:03:10,725 –> 00:03:14,955
You don’t have pain without stress,
and you don’t have stress without pain.

34
00:03:15,345 –> 00:03:17,175
The two go hand in hand.

35
00:03:17,745 –> 00:03:22,965
And one of the things that’s real
important in terms of when you

36
00:03:23,015 –> 00:03:30,310
understand the connection between pain
and stress, you also have to understand

37
00:03:30,310 –> 00:03:35,290
that in order to relieve the pain
and stress which are connected, you

38
00:03:35,290 –> 00:03:41,310
also have to connect the mind, the
body, and the spirit as the healing

39
00:03:41,310 –> 00:03:45,360
component to relieving pain and stress.

40
00:03:45,660 –> 00:03:50,530
And that’s something we never really think
about because when, when you’re talking

41
00:03:50,550 –> 00:03:56,460
about pain, which you just said like
fibromyalgia in, in, in specifics, it’s a

42
00:03:56,460 –> 00:04:04,815
nerve, it’s about dealing with, the nerve
endings are not operating as they should.

43
00:04:05,174 –> 00:04:10,005
And the thing that we don’t understand
about the nerve endings and the nervous

44
00:04:10,005 –> 00:04:16,635
system, it is connected directly to
the brain, which is the message center.

45
00:04:16,665 –> 00:04:18,284
It’s our command center.

46
00:04:18,685 –> 00:04:23,155
It, the brain is what sends the
message to all the organs and systems

47
00:04:23,155 –> 00:04:25,825
of the body in terms of operation.

48
00:04:26,094 –> 00:04:31,465
So if a nerve ending is outta
sync, it’s going to cause havoc

49
00:04:31,515 –> 00:04:33,945
which results in the form of pain.

50
00:04:34,515 –> 00:04:39,135
Now, another way I can kind of
explain that to help your listeners

51
00:04:39,135 –> 00:04:46,034
understand what it is that I do
in my therapy, the focus is on,

52
00:04:46,094 –> 00:04:52,515
and you asked me about touchology,
the focus is on introducing touch.

53
00:04:53,145 –> 00:04:57,900
And the first form of touch,
when I see my clients, that I

54
00:04:57,900 –> 00:05:00,120
offer, it’s called listening.

55
00:05:01,290 –> 00:05:08,130
And the reason why I say that is because
when my clients come to me, they’re

56
00:05:08,130 –> 00:05:12,690
coming to me for one thing and one
thing only, and that’s pain relief.

57
00:05:12,690 –> 00:05:14,850
They’re not interested in anything else

58
00:05:15,224 –> 00:05:16,844
but relieving pain.

59
00:05:17,505 –> 00:05:22,635
And as a practitioner, it’s
important that we understand that.

60
00:05:23,205 –> 00:05:27,525
And we have to understand it from the
standpoint that just like when you go

61
00:05:27,525 –> 00:05:32,234
to store to make a purchase, you know
what you want and you go in the store

62
00:05:32,414 –> 00:05:34,815
to purchase exactly what you want.

63
00:05:35,115 –> 00:05:39,885
So when you come to a practitioner,
you are coming to purchase pain relief.

64
00:05:40,305 –> 00:05:46,245
And so I start my practice with
my clients by giving them my first

65
00:05:46,245 –> 00:05:48,405
form of touch, which is listening.

66
00:05:48,974 –> 00:05:56,145
And what I’m listening for is the
stress that’s connected to the pain.

67
00:05:56,505 –> 00:06:02,909
Once I hear the stress factor,
now we know what we need to do.

68
00:06:02,969 –> 00:06:09,030
And just as the client is talking
to me about all the things

69
00:06:09,030 –> 00:06:14,159
connected to their pain, they
are hearing their stress factor.

70
00:06:14,670 –> 00:06:17,490
But they’ve never thought
about connecting that

71
00:06:17,740 –> 00:06:25,330
to the pain because what you have to
understand is stress is always something

72
00:06:25,330 –> 00:06:33,190
that happens outside of the body that
we bring inside and we never connect it.

73
00:06:33,460 –> 00:06:39,280
So when you start feeling pain, that
what you brought inside the body,

74
00:06:39,280 –> 00:06:41,580
it’s trying to find a way to come out.

75
00:06:42,050 –> 00:06:46,350
And it comes out maybe in your
back hurting, or your neck

76
00:06:46,350 –> 00:06:51,870
hurting, or your knees hurting,
but that’s not a way to release.

77
00:06:52,230 –> 00:06:58,920
So what a reflexologist does is,
it’s looking at that nerve ending

78
00:06:59,400 –> 00:07:05,050
and trying to open up that channel
so that that, it’s a blockage, can

79
00:07:05,070 –> 00:07:11,510
move itself into where it needs to
go to release itself from the body.

80
00:07:12,050 –> 00:07:17,835
So in essence, a, a better way for me
to descriptively describe it so that

81
00:07:17,835 –> 00:07:23,474
you can understand is that, think
about electricity in your house.

82
00:07:23,565 –> 00:07:28,254
If it goes out, you automatically go to
the circuit breaker, flick the switch

83
00:07:28,254 –> 00:07:30,195
and the electricity comes back on.

84
00:07:30,645 –> 00:07:34,424
If it doesn’t, then you have to call
the electrician to come in and they’re

85
00:07:34,424 –> 00:07:36,794
gonna say, Okay, we got a wiring problem.

86
00:07:36,794 –> 00:07:40,695
We, we need to connect the wire so
that you can get the electricity.

87
00:07:41,340 –> 00:07:43,620
That’s what reflexology is.

88
00:07:43,950 –> 00:07:48,870
We work on the wiring of the
body, which are the nerve endings.

89
00:07:49,290 –> 00:07:55,290
And what we are looking is to get the
circulation flowing so that when the

90
00:07:55,290 –> 00:08:01,950
nerve endings sit, can communicate
effectively with the brain to do

91
00:08:01,950 –> 00:08:06,930
what it needs to do when a system
says, I need this or I want that.

92
00:08:07,260 –> 00:08:09,120
So that’s the whole concept.

93
00:08:09,540 –> 00:08:14,460
And if you think about it like
that, reflexology is like the

94
00:08:14,460 –> 00:08:19,650
electrician of the body and
that’s the format of how it works.

95
00:08:21,330 –> 00:08:28,800
Now, one of the things in terms of, if
someone’s having pain and you have to

96
00:08:28,800 –> 00:08:35,039
look at the stress factor, which I said
my first form of touch was listening.

97
00:08:35,400 –> 00:08:40,320
So after I listen and the client has
just, you know, shared all that’s

98
00:08:40,320 –> 00:08:45,150
connected with that stress that’s
causing them to be in pain, they’re

99
00:08:45,150 –> 00:08:49,485
now open to receive the pain relief.

100
00:08:49,485 –> 00:08:55,605
Which will be the touch part of
reflexology, working on the hands, the

101
00:08:55,605 –> 00:09:00,915
feet, and the ears, which is connected
to all the parts of the body that

102
00:09:00,915 –> 00:09:03,005
we stimulate those nerve endings.

103
00:09:03,345 –> 00:09:07,335
And so that your listeners understand,
if you ever look at a chart of the

104
00:09:07,335 –> 00:09:11,955
anatomy and look at the nervous
system, you’ll see how all the

105
00:09:11,955 –> 00:09:13,965
nerve endings begin in your head

106
00:09:14,420 –> 00:09:19,610
run straight through your body with their
ending points in the feet, hands and ears.

107
00:09:19,880 –> 00:09:24,620
And what we are doing is we are
stimulating those nerves that’s connected

108
00:09:24,620 –> 00:09:30,320
to wherever it is in the body that you
may be having stress or pain for relief.

109
00:09:30,740 –> 00:09:38,359
Now, once that happens, the next form
of the touch experience is, there’s

110
00:09:38,359 –> 00:09:45,859
no one therapy that can do it all, so
when I heard your stress, did I hear

111
00:09:45,859 –> 00:09:51,199
that you need a chiropractic alignment?

112
00:09:51,229 –> 00:09:52,790
‘Cause we got some bone structure.

113
00:09:54,435 –> 00:09:59,175
Or did I hear that you need to be
able to have an overall stimulation

114
00:09:59,175 –> 00:10:00,704
of the whole nervous system.

115
00:10:00,704 –> 00:10:02,564
You may need acupuncture.

116
00:10:03,135 –> 00:10:08,145
Or did I hear that, um, your diet
is not well, so we gotta look at,

117
00:10:08,810 –> 00:10:13,850
there, you need, we need to look at what
nutrients, what minerals, what vitamins

118
00:10:13,850 –> 00:10:15,890
may be needed to add to your system.

119
00:10:16,490 –> 00:10:21,589
Or do you need to have a cleanse, or do
we need to go look at body cleansing?

120
00:10:21,589 –> 00:10:23,120
Is that something that’s needed?

121
00:10:23,480 –> 00:10:27,199
Or do you just need some
rest and relaxation?

122
00:10:27,560 –> 00:10:33,230
All of this is about putting together
a comprehensive program, which is

123
00:10:33,230 –> 00:10:38,850
your treatment plan based upon the
stress that you have shared that

124
00:10:39,120 –> 00:10:44,490
we need to relieve to get you back
into optimum health and wellness.

125
00:10:44,700 –> 00:10:50,790
So that’s kind of an overview of the
process in terms of relieving, uh,

126
00:10:50,820 –> 00:10:54,330
pain using, uh, the power of touch.

127
00:10:56,010 –> 00:11:06,240
What I’m hearing is you are like the
electrician coming in and you’re searching

128
00:11:06,840 –> 00:11:10,560
the whole system for these breaks.

129
00:11:11,130 –> 00:11:26,440
And how often is it associated to stress
as, as to, say, an old injury per se?

130
00:11:27,490 –> 00:11:32,339
What is the leading factor in pain?

131
00:11:32,339 –> 00:11:33,630
Is what I’m getting at.

132
00:11:33,719 –> 00:11:40,199
Because I know that when you first
get injured, you have, you know,

133
00:11:40,349 –> 00:11:46,290
disruptions in the tissues and the
bones and the body heals itself.

134
00:11:47,670 –> 00:11:55,950
So when we deal with pain, are we
looking at this stress level as a leading

135
00:11:55,950 –> 00:11:59,520
indicator of pain in our life then?

136
00:12:03,600 –> 00:12:10,260
Basically pain and stress go hand
in hand, you can’t separate it.

137
00:12:10,530 –> 00:12:16,455
‘Cause if you think about it,
even when you have an injury, it

138
00:12:16,455 –> 00:12:19,185
happened because of something.

139
00:12:19,485 –> 00:12:24,285
You could have been playing sports
and you got an injury, you could

140
00:12:24,285 –> 00:12:28,575
have, uh, walked down the street
and all of a sudden you twisted an

141
00:12:28,575 –> 00:12:32,685
ankle or something, that causes pain.

142
00:12:33,705 –> 00:12:40,185
It’s always a stress factor and, and,
and, and, and we gotta understand stress.

143
00:12:40,185 –> 00:12:44,355
It’s not about being, stress being good or
bad, you know, it’s not about qualifying.

144
00:12:44,745 –> 00:12:53,475
It’s a stress, something that’s out of the
norm that connects with the nervous system

145
00:12:53,725 –> 00:12:56,425
and the nerve endings to deliver the pain.

146
00:12:56,685 –> 00:13:00,795
Let me give you an example to kinda show
you so that can maybe be a little clearer.

147
00:13:01,035 –> 00:13:03,675
Think about your funny bone in your elbow.

148
00:13:04,095 –> 00:13:08,865
If you hit it, what’s the first
thing you are going to do?

149
00:13:10,510 –> 00:13:10,730
Oh.

150
00:13:13,335 –> 00:13:16,525
You are gonna make a verbal response.

151
00:13:17,555 –> 00:13:19,995
Now when you hit it, that was the stress.

152
00:13:20,460 –> 00:13:26,400
You hit the elbow, then the message
travels up the nerve endings to the brain.

153
00:13:26,730 –> 00:13:29,730
Trauma, stress in the elbow.

154
00:13:30,240 –> 00:13:34,920
When that nerve ending sends that message
to the brain about the trauma in the

155
00:13:34,920 –> 00:13:42,765
elbow, the brain then sends its natural
pain relievers to go to that area.

156
00:13:42,765 –> 00:13:46,155
And the way you activate that is,
then you put your hand on, you

157
00:13:46,155 –> 00:13:52,185
start rubbing it, and that releases
the body’s normal pain relievers.

158
00:13:52,875 –> 00:13:58,694
So that’s the whole process when
we say stress and pain work hand

159
00:13:58,694 –> 00:14:02,805
in hand with each other, that you
don’t have pain without the stress.

160
00:14:02,805 –> 00:14:05,805
You don’t have the stress without
the pain, they go together.

161
00:14:06,314 –> 00:14:12,385
But then you look at, okay,
now I know what the problem is.

162
00:14:12,895 –> 00:14:18,405
What do I need to do to solve
the problem so I can get back

163
00:14:18,405 –> 00:14:22,350
to my natural state of wellness?

164
00:14:22,350 –> 00:14:24,150
Because that’s the optimum.

165
00:14:24,540 –> 00:14:31,120
But we, the thing, the missing piece
is we don’t work with our body and

166
00:14:31,120 –> 00:14:33,840
assist it in the healing process.

167
00:14:34,080 –> 00:14:39,300
And by not doing that, we make it
a lot worse than what it has to be.

168
00:14:41,250 –> 00:14:42,480
Very interesting.

169
00:14:42,810 –> 00:14:43,110
Yeah.

170
00:14:43,110 –> 00:14:48,780
That, uh, action to the trauma,
it, it’s very interesting.

171
00:14:48,840 –> 00:14:55,710
Our, our first response is that touch
and, and that, I’ve never really thought

172
00:14:55,710 –> 00:15:02,670
of that until just now, but that’s
an automatic principle in our life.

173
00:15:03,105 –> 00:15:11,805
To initiate blood flow and therefore
it, it can actually initiate

174
00:15:11,805 –> 00:15:17,745
healing more, more rapidly.

175
00:15:17,985 –> 00:15:21,315
So I, I really enjoy that a lot.

176
00:15:21,675 –> 00:15:27,165
So let’s, let’s talk about these
stressors in our life that can really

177
00:15:27,165 –> 00:15:35,984
change our overall health, because
it’s not just pain, it, it can cause

178
00:15:35,984 –> 00:15:42,405
so many issues in the body and we
don’t even recognize them sometimes

179
00:15:42,405 –> 00:15:46,185
because it doesn’t send the pain signal.

180
00:15:46,484 –> 00:15:54,074
It, it might be a bowel interruption or
something like that, and we just overlook

181
00:15:54,555 –> 00:15:57,255
that it’s actually stressors in our life.

182
00:15:58,560 –> 00:16:07,800
The, the big thing against stress is like
laughter or, you know, companionship.

183
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:13,080
What, what are some of those
things that we can do to combat

184
00:16:13,320 –> 00:16:15,480
these stressors in our life?

185
00:16:16,860 –> 00:16:22,320
First of all, one of the things
I always tell my clients, We have

186
00:16:22,320 –> 00:16:28,740
a tendency, because we are quote
unquote adults, to get in a box.

187
00:16:28,949 –> 00:16:40,650
And that box is containing us to the
point that we, we live with the stress.

188
00:16:41,220 –> 00:16:46,770
We accept the stress as a reality
because, as adults, you’re supposed

189
00:16:46,770 –> 00:16:49,709
to be quote unquote serious.

190
00:16:49,709 –> 00:16:53,675
You’re, you know, I call it being sterile.

191
00:16:54,205 –> 00:17:00,885
What I say that we need to do is
we need to spend time letting that

192
00:17:00,885 –> 00:17:05,204
little girl and that little boy
inside of us come out and play.

193
00:17:05,204 –> 00:17:09,735
We forget what it was like to be a
child, and when you were a child, you

194
00:17:09,735 –> 00:17:11,595
were creative, you were inquisitive.

195
00:17:11,775 –> 00:17:13,214
I mean, nothing bothered you.

196
00:17:13,214 –> 00:17:16,500
You know, you just, you just lived.

197
00:17:16,980 –> 00:17:20,940
And that is the same thing
that we need to understand.

198
00:17:20,940 –> 00:17:26,579
So when you start talking about stress,
it’s because we’ve become so sterile.

199
00:17:26,579 –> 00:17:28,319
We’ve become so rigid.

200
00:17:28,650 –> 00:17:34,795
We, we’ve, you know, we, as I say,
especially now when we live in a situation

201
00:17:34,795 –> 00:17:42,825
of 24/7 doom and gloom, we are attached
to that and that, that makes us stressful.

202
00:17:43,065 –> 00:17:49,405
That thing, you know, in terms of letting
go, I mean, what’s going to happen is

203
00:17:49,405 –> 00:17:54,885
going to happen, but you don’t have to
participate in it so that it becomes

204
00:17:54,885 –> 00:17:56,685
something that’s going to happen to you.

205
00:17:56,895 –> 00:18:01,395
It’s about realizing you
can only do but so much.

206
00:18:01,544 –> 00:18:08,054
And whatever it is that you can do,
start with that and focus with that.

207
00:18:08,355 –> 00:18:10,455
All the other stuff is irrelevant.

208
00:18:10,485 –> 00:18:16,245
That’s where the stress comes in, trying
to deal with everything that’s going

209
00:18:16,245 –> 00:18:18,675
on around you and you know you can’t.

210
00:18:20,534 –> 00:18:20,985
Yeah.

211
00:18:21,225 –> 00:18:29,415
Drama in our life, you know, the, and,
and we love drama and, you know, a

212
00:18:29,415 –> 00:18:34,455
lot of that drama is external, like
you said, and we drag it into us.

213
00:18:35,085 –> 00:18:43,274
So I, I really found that that drama,
uh, family drama, you know, work drama,

214
00:18:43,274 –> 00:18:47,325
all of that, it can make us sick.

215
00:18:47,655 –> 00:18:55,395
So I found that just being myself and
being happy of who, what, and where

216
00:18:55,395 –> 00:19:01,004
I am is truly a key of a happy life.

217
00:19:01,545 –> 00:19:05,295
We’re not gonna be happy all
the time, and I accept that.

218
00:19:06,615 –> 00:19:06,725
Yeah.

219
00:19:08,085 –> 00:19:14,050
I tell people, I tell people, Put
a day on your calendar to be silly.

220
00:19:14,129 –> 00:19:19,649
It does not matter who sees you, how, what
they think of you, this is your healing.

221
00:19:19,649 –> 00:19:21,510
Be silly, have a silly day.

222
00:19:21,929 –> 00:19:32,535
I mean, you know, to be so uptight makes
you sick and you have to understand that.

223
00:19:32,745 –> 00:19:37,185
You have to know how to let go, be free.

224
00:19:37,665 –> 00:19:40,845
I, I, you know, there used to be
a time when everybody used to feel

225
00:19:40,845 –> 00:19:42,315
themselves being a free spirit.

226
00:19:42,315 –> 00:19:45,585
Go back to being a free
spirit, however you define it.

227
00:19:46,395 –> 00:19:51,515
Be free, define your
freedom and act on it.

228
00:19:51,515 –> 00:19:55,395
And it, and you don’t have to
qualify or quantitate it to

229
00:19:55,395 –> 00:19:58,875
anybody, this is just who you are.

230
00:19:59,264 –> 00:20:06,195
And those who are supposed to accept
you for who you are, those are the

231
00:20:06,195 –> 00:20:07,274
ones you’re supposed to be with.

232
00:20:07,305 –> 00:20:10,695
If anybody has a problem with
it, that means it’s cleansing

233
00:20:10,695 –> 00:20:12,315
time, it’s time to let it go.

234
00:20:14,655 –> 00:20:15,915
I like that a lot.

235
00:20:16,185 –> 00:20:25,755
You know, the muddy shoe life, an analogy
here I, I use all the time is life is

236
00:20:25,755 –> 00:20:32,610
like a muddy trail and we’re a muddy
shoe walking down this muddy trail.

237
00:20:33,360 –> 00:20:37,889
And the mud is people, places, and things.

238
00:20:38,550 –> 00:20:43,139
And if we don’t control, if
we don’t control those people,

239
00:20:43,139 –> 00:20:47,970
places and things with boundaries
in our life, it gets heavy.

240
00:20:48,000 –> 00:20:52,600
We’ve all walked in heavy
mud and it tires us down.

241
00:20:53,030 –> 00:20:59,660
So find a rock and scrape it off, and
that will lighten your load and you

242
00:20:59,660 –> 00:21:07,550
can be happier, freer and cleansed,
getting down the road of life.

243
00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:14,900
So muddy trail, uh, people,
places and things, we’ve got to

244
00:21:14,900 –> 00:21:18,170
control those things in our life.

245
00:21:18,860 –> 00:21:21,630
And if we don’t, we’re gonna be sick.

246
00:21:22,650 –> 00:21:24,690
Is that not the case?

247
00:21:27,180 –> 00:21:30,480
That is, that’s what’s
causing the sickness, you

248
00:21:30,480 –> 00:21:32,820
have defined it so elegantly.

249
00:21:33,360 –> 00:21:37,860
And to add to, you know, when I
talk about touch, we’ve got to

250
00:21:37,950 –> 00:21:40,380
understand touch differently.

251
00:21:40,590 –> 00:21:49,575
Touch is not just, I’m physically
touching, touch is mental, it’s

252
00:21:49,575 –> 00:21:55,455
physical, it’s emotional, it’s
spiritual, and it’s even financial.

253
00:21:55,905 –> 00:22:01,004
And we’ve got to understand
touch in a whole different way.

254
00:22:01,245 –> 00:22:07,605
And I say that to say, let me give
you some examples, say somebody is

255
00:22:07,605 –> 00:22:15,855
feeling bad and all of a sudden you
just put your hand on their shoulder

256
00:22:15,855 –> 00:22:17,625
and they feel so much better.

257
00:22:18,120 –> 00:22:19,860
That’s a touching moment.

258
00:22:21,240 –> 00:22:24,960
Say somebody is having a, um,

259
00:22:27,150 –> 00:22:32,460
they, they just got some bad news
and, and it, and it’s affecting them.

260
00:22:33,360 –> 00:22:37,230
All you have to do is go up to
them and say, You know what?

261
00:22:37,530 –> 00:22:40,410
It’s going to be all
right, I’m here for you.

262
00:22:40,410 –> 00:22:41,310
Something like that.

263
00:22:41,640 –> 00:22:46,020
That’s a touching moment that
uplifted them, made them feel better.

264
00:22:47,025 –> 00:22:52,215
You are going through a doorway and all
of a sudden somebody’s coming behind you

265
00:22:52,215 –> 00:22:58,155
and you hold the door for them, and all
of a sudden, oh no, they hold the door

266
00:22:58,155 –> 00:23:01,455
for you and you say to them, thank you.

267
00:23:02,475 –> 00:23:04,515
That’s a touching moment.

268
00:23:04,815 –> 00:23:12,135
We’ve got to understand it’s the
little small things that touch, that

269
00:23:12,135 –> 00:23:14,415
we need to understand is touching.

270
00:23:14,715 –> 00:23:19,395
And I say that to say, That
when you’re looking at the

271
00:23:19,395 –> 00:23:21,945
power of touch, it does heal.

272
00:23:22,695 –> 00:23:27,465
Because as a people, we need to touch.

273
00:23:27,795 –> 00:23:31,395
And because we are not touching,
that’s why we’re in all this

274
00:23:31,395 –> 00:23:36,405
craziness that we’re in now because
we are not touching each other.

275
00:23:36,405 –> 00:23:37,514
We are not connecting.

276
00:23:37,905 –> 00:23:43,725
And my unscientific study, as it
relates to that pandemic that we

277
00:23:43,725 –> 00:23:48,405
were in for two and a half years,
it’s a, because of the lack of

278
00:23:48,405 –> 00:23:50,635
touch, many people made a transition.

279
00:23:50,635 –> 00:23:54,135
Because I couldn’t see my
family member, that’s touch.

280
00:23:54,315 –> 00:23:57,555
I couldn’t talk to my
family member, that’s touch.

281
00:23:57,735 –> 00:24:03,405
I couldn’t even be in their presence,
that was an energy exchange, that’s touch.

282
00:24:03,645 –> 00:24:09,105
Those are the important things that
give us our healing, and that gives

283
00:24:09,105 –> 00:24:14,175
us the foundation for us to be able to
live the lives we are supposed to live.

284
00:24:14,504 –> 00:24:17,445
That’s how powerful touch is.

285
00:24:19,725 –> 00:24:20,804
I like that a lot.

286
00:24:20,865 –> 00:24:32,475
You know, we, we don’t go deep enough into
what our response and our cravings are.

287
00:24:32,804 –> 00:24:40,920
You know, we, we get the, you know,
addictions, the quick highs, and then

288
00:24:40,980 –> 00:24:44,100
that always plummets into the deep lows.

289
00:24:44,520 –> 00:24:50,940
But when we get that connection
and that touch, it is remarkable

290
00:24:50,940 –> 00:24:53,310
what happens in our life.

291
00:24:53,670 –> 00:25:00,689
And, you know, I’m, I’m about to enjoy my
fortieth wedding anniversary this month.

292
00:25:01,530 –> 00:25:04,679
Thank you to Theresa, my beautiful wife.

293
00:25:05,159 –> 00:25:14,230
And I’ll tell you half, maybe
even over half of our relationship

294
00:25:14,390 –> 00:25:21,885
together, was filled with turmoil,
and these trials, tribulations and

295
00:25:21,885 –> 00:25:30,225
it’s because we were relying on other
people’s vision of what we should be.

296
00:25:30,735 –> 00:25:35,774
And you, you outlined this
expression, if you will.

297
00:25:35,895 –> 00:25:40,905
You need to be able to express who you
are, not what somebody wants you to be.

298
00:25:41,475 –> 00:25:51,510
And that allowed my wife and I to
really get that connection and it showed

299
00:25:51,510 –> 00:25:56,520
us that it’s okay to be who you are.

300
00:25:57,120 –> 00:26:06,330
And when we support each other, allowing
us to be who we are instead of who we want

301
00:26:06,390 –> 00:26:10,574
you to be, we can really move mountains.

302
00:26:10,574 –> 00:26:15,615
And I, I really think that that’s
the direction our nation, our world,

303
00:26:15,615 –> 00:26:21,645
needs to go is this healing through
that touch that you just outlined.

304
00:26:21,885 –> 00:26:24,735
It’s so much more than
just a pat on the back.

305
00:26:25,215 –> 00:26:28,935
I, I love how deep you went into that.

306
00:26:31,784 –> 00:26:38,264
Once we come, thank you for sharing
the relationship with your wife because

307
00:26:38,625 –> 00:26:44,985
what you just shared, that’s about
touch because of the fact that you are

308
00:26:45,044 –> 00:26:51,435
able to exchange with each other, you
connect with each other, that’s touching.

309
00:26:51,764 –> 00:27:00,090
And, and to be in a relationship, it’s
a partnership that’s based on being able

310
00:27:00,090 –> 00:27:06,420
to touch each other mentally, physically,
emotionally, and even financially.

311
00:27:06,690 –> 00:27:11,770
You have to understand, and that’s
why so many people have problems

312
00:27:12,340 –> 00:27:17,820
in relationships because they don’t
understand the power of touch.

313
00:27:18,030 –> 00:27:24,660
And we have to put that back in our
lives as our foundation in terms of

314
00:27:24,930 –> 00:27:27,330
that’s what a healthy relationship is.

315
00:27:27,660 –> 00:27:32,460
This is, touch is what gives
you a healthy mind and body.

316
00:27:32,790 –> 00:27:35,760
It’s about touch, touch is so powerful.

317
00:27:35,970 –> 00:27:42,690
And I say this to say, That is
the one thing when it comes to

318
00:27:42,690 –> 00:27:48,690
healing that pharmaceuticals cannot
bottle, cannot market, and cannot

319
00:27:48,690 –> 00:27:51,270
package because it’s inside you.

320
00:27:53,220 –> 00:27:53,970
That’s right.

321
00:27:54,300 –> 00:27:55,740
Uh, I like that a lot.

322
00:27:55,980 –> 00:28:04,260
You know, the divisions in our
nation is, is something, well,

323
00:28:04,260 –> 00:28:06,150
you kind of said it, childish.

324
00:28:06,660 –> 00:28:13,860
And we, we are acting like children,
we’re not grown up about the situations,

325
00:28:13,890 –> 00:28:16,380
the actual needs in our world.

326
00:28:16,740 –> 00:28:24,870
And when we allow these divisions to
take over our mindset, we forget how

327
00:28:24,870 –> 00:28:28,170
to love and give that loving touch.

328
00:28:28,890 –> 00:28:38,370
And there, there’s historical evidence
of what we are going through right now,

329
00:28:38,370 –> 00:28:44,580
and I’m, I’m gonna say it’s World War
II, pre-World War II, and I’m here to

330
00:28:44,580 –> 00:28:47,700
say I don’t want that for anyone here.

331
00:28:48,030 –> 00:28:56,400
And if we are not able to say,
No, that’s not decent behavior.

332
00:28:58,350 –> 00:29:04,409
We’re in for some rocky roads,
let’s just put it that way.

333
00:29:04,409 –> 00:29:13,500
And I’m, I’m really wondering
how, how far our world will let

334
00:29:13,560 –> 00:29:19,949
this next round of hostilities go
before we find that touch again.

335
00:29:21,570 –> 00:29:27,179
You know, it’s something you
said that sparked a thought

336
00:29:27,840 –> 00:29:29,310
that came across my mind.

337
00:29:29,670 –> 00:29:36,870
Something that I’m very passionate
about is our young people.

338
00:29:37,379 –> 00:29:41,220
I’m gonna say this, and the reason why
I’m saying that is, because our young

339
00:29:41,220 –> 00:29:47,820
people are under some undue stress and
pain that we cannot possibly imagine.

340
00:29:48,120 –> 00:29:55,080
As adults, we can find outlets to relieve
our stress and pain, but our young people

341
00:29:55,500 –> 00:30:01,320
have not been shown what outlets are
available for them to relieve stress.

342
00:30:01,679 –> 00:30:06,959
I say that in, in conjunction with
what you just said and what you just

343
00:30:06,959 –> 00:30:09,179
presented about the world order.

344
00:30:10,949 –> 00:30:18,840
Our children right now are of
the adult mindsets in terms

345
00:30:18,840 –> 00:30:21,870
of moving things forward.

346
00:30:22,439 –> 00:30:28,949
We as adults are being silly
children trying to dictate, and

347
00:30:28,949 –> 00:30:33,870
control, and regulate them and they
are resisting and, as they should.

348
00:30:34,199 –> 00:30:41,100
Because the problem is, and the one
thing I know about young people,

349
00:30:41,429 –> 00:30:45,240
they have a serious problem with
you physically touching them.

350
00:30:45,270 –> 00:30:46,020
And you know why?

351
00:30:46,755 –> 00:30:53,235
Because we never spend the time
to positively touch our children

352
00:30:53,505 –> 00:30:56,685
mentally, physically, and emotionally.

353
00:30:57,225 –> 00:31:02,295
By, because that’s missing in
their lives, they only have the

354
00:31:02,295 –> 00:31:07,905
negative component of touch, which
is what we are doing as adults.

355
00:31:08,205 –> 00:31:14,090
We are showing them how you negatively
touch, not positively touch.

356
00:31:14,480 –> 00:31:21,650
And the way to change this is, which I
tell parents, adults, guardian, or anybody

357
00:31:21,650 –> 00:31:28,490
with children, Do the, the first powerful
form of touch that’s called listening.

358
00:31:29,625 –> 00:31:34,935
When you spend time listening to a
young person, you’ll be surprised

359
00:31:35,415 –> 00:31:37,965
at what you can learn from them.

360
00:31:38,205 –> 00:31:42,915
They are very aware of what’s
going on, they are connected.

361
00:31:43,275 –> 00:31:48,765
But you always come to them with, this
is what you should be doing, or this

362
00:31:48,765 –> 00:31:50,330
is what I did when I was your age.

363
00:31:52,125 –> 00:31:54,315
It worked for our time.

364
00:31:54,315 –> 00:32:00,585
This is a new time now, so we need
to connect with them by listening and

365
00:32:00,645 –> 00:32:06,405
then, not saying you have to agree
with everything they say, but listen.

366
00:32:06,915 –> 00:32:12,015
Because the thing that they want from
you more than anything is support

367
00:32:12,135 –> 00:32:16,695
and encouragement to move forward
in terms of where we need to go.

368
00:32:18,659 –> 00:32:19,409
That’s right.

369
00:32:19,770 –> 00:32:26,490
You, you know, I, I think you said that
so well, uh, as we are recording this.

370
00:32:27,090 –> 00:32:35,970
I just started to release season 24 of
the podcast, and I opened the season

371
00:32:35,970 –> 00:32:39,120
with a young man, Lawrence Harris.

372
00:32:39,780 –> 00:32:49,050
And I’ll tell you, this young man just
made my heart crumble because I, I see

373
00:32:49,050 –> 00:32:55,800
so much maturity in that young man that
I don’t see in our leadership today.

374
00:32:56,220 –> 00:33:03,524
And it gave me extreme hope in our
world because of our youth today.

375
00:33:03,824 –> 00:33:12,435
So just like you, I want to
congratulate them for being that strong.

376
00:33:13,215 –> 00:33:20,054
Uh, you shouldn’t have to be at that
age, but I will tell you because of

377
00:33:20,054 –> 00:33:25,725
the work you’re doing now, you’re
going to move mountains in our

378
00:33:25,725 –> 00:33:28,785
world when we need it the most.

379
00:33:29,325 –> 00:33:36,045
And I can honestly say now,
I have hope because of that

380
00:33:36,045 –> 00:33:37,635
young man that I interviewed.

381
00:33:38,055 –> 00:33:39,645
Uh, I really enjoy that.

382
00:33:42,139 –> 00:33:47,445
And it, it’s, it’s for me
personally, my life right now.

383
00:33:47,850 –> 00:33:56,639
What’s important to me is to be able
to put the work that I do on the table

384
00:33:56,940 –> 00:34:01,350
and pass it on to that next generation
for them to take it to the next step.

385
00:34:01,590 –> 00:34:07,095
Not do what I do, I’m giving you a
foundation, take it to where you wanna do.

386
00:34:07,095 –> 00:34:07,935
And guess what?

387
00:34:08,145 –> 00:34:13,094
I’m sitting in my rocking chair
supporting you 100% and I’m here

388
00:34:13,094 –> 00:34:15,915
for you ’cause I know the pitfalls.

389
00:34:16,215 –> 00:34:22,065
I can tell you how to avoid the
pitfalls, that’s how we need to be

390
00:34:22,065 –> 00:34:24,194
interacting with our young people.

391
00:34:24,375 –> 00:34:29,025
Whatever our talents or skills
are, give it to them and help them

392
00:34:29,054 –> 00:34:34,009
take it to the next level because
you know what they’re gonna face.

393
00:34:34,699 –> 00:34:38,299
But you can, you can be the
one that can be their armor of

394
00:34:38,299 –> 00:34:42,860
protection as they move forward in
making this world a better place.

395
00:34:43,880 –> 00:34:44,239
Yeah.

396
00:34:44,360 –> 00:34:50,239
You know, and authority sometimes
don’t know when to pass the

397
00:34:50,239 –> 00:34:52,670
authority on to the next generation.

398
00:34:53,420 –> 00:34:55,820
And, and that’s where we are right now.

399
00:34:55,850 –> 00:35:03,960
And I can say that we’re, we’re really
seeing a shuffle of the minds, if you

400
00:35:03,960 –> 00:35:12,130
will, where this old guard that’s been
doing the same thing for forty to fifty

401
00:35:12,150 –> 00:35:19,890
years needs to crumble and pass it on to
these bright young individuals that are

402
00:35:19,890 –> 00:35:22,740
showing so much prospect in our world.

403
00:35:23,190 –> 00:35:29,895
And we, we need to stop looking at the
profit and start looking at the people.

404
00:35:30,705 –> 00:35:32,955
I, I really think that’s really big.

405
00:35:35,625 –> 00:35:41,654
And when you look at the
people, you now move away from

406
00:35:41,715 –> 00:35:44,295
focusing only on the problem.

407
00:35:44,505 –> 00:35:47,384
You now can start looking at,
okay, I know what the problem

408
00:35:47,384 –> 00:35:49,665
is, now where is the solution?

409
00:35:49,665 –> 00:35:51,975
We need to be talking about Solutions.

410
00:35:52,305 –> 00:35:54,735
And solutions are the people.

411
00:35:56,055 –> 00:36:00,945
That’s the solution, dealing with the
people is how you get the solution.

412
00:36:01,425 –> 00:36:07,005
And so to spend time always talking
about the problem, it’s what

413
00:36:07,005 –> 00:36:10,845
causes the pain and the stress
because you are in a stuck mode.

414
00:36:11,085 –> 00:36:15,165
That’s what I talk about being
in the box, it is comfortable to

415
00:36:15,165 –> 00:36:16,725
keep on talking about the problem.

416
00:36:16,875 –> 00:36:19,425
But when you talk about
solution, that means you have

417
00:36:19,425 –> 00:36:21,435
to start putting some action.

418
00:36:21,675 –> 00:36:24,435
Solution means providing action.

419
00:36:27,120 –> 00:36:27,690
That’s right.

420
00:36:28,170 –> 00:36:31,560
You know, and that’s, that’s
what we’re doing here today.

421
00:36:31,770 –> 00:36:39,930
And so many excellent podcasters
are actually starting to put

422
00:36:39,930 –> 00:36:42,750
their voice out there and say, No.

423
00:36:42,750 –> 00:36:49,410
The regular news and the cycle that
we’ve been stuck in is not right.

424
00:36:49,650 –> 00:36:55,290
And when we are brave enough to
stand up and start speaking the

425
00:36:55,290 –> 00:37:01,710
truth as we know it, that’s when
we start finding these solutions.

426
00:37:01,890 –> 00:37:06,720
And the key, like you said, listen.

427
00:37:07,230 –> 00:37:10,650
When we listen, we can discover.

428
00:37:10,860 –> 00:37:18,900
If we’re always just talking, we
never know what we’re fighting for.

429
00:37:19,650 –> 00:37:23,940
So if we’re listening, we’re
actually in a discovery mode.

430
00:37:24,030 –> 00:37:30,255
And that is really truly where we
need to be, listening to people,

431
00:37:30,405 –> 00:37:35,295
finding out where those problems
are, and coming up with these divine

432
00:37:35,295 –> 00:37:38,085
solutions because they’re there.

433
00:37:39,315 –> 00:37:46,245
And, and there’s the resources and
there’s the manpower that no one

434
00:37:46,245 –> 00:37:48,675
should be struggling the way we are.

435
00:37:48,675 –> 00:37:55,365
So these systematic approaches need
to crumble and let new ideas come in.

436
00:37:57,150 –> 00:37:59,640
And that’s called the power of touch.

437
00:38:01,590 –> 00:38:02,190
Yes.

438
00:38:02,340 –> 00:38:03,300
Uh, amen.

439
00:38:03,300 –> 00:38:03,930
I like it.

440
00:38:04,620 –> 00:38:11,880
So is there anything else that
we should let our listeners

441
00:38:11,880 –> 00:38:14,430
understand before we wrap things up?

442
00:38:15,775 –> 00:38:21,030
One thing I’d like your listeners
to really understand as it relates

443
00:38:21,030 –> 00:38:28,095
to healing, I always tell my
clients that you’re gonna have

444
00:38:28,095 –> 00:38:32,775
to stop going to your doctors

445
00:38:34,785 –> 00:38:38,925
and taking your body there
like it’s an automobile.

446
00:38:39,765 –> 00:38:45,385
And I say that to say is when your car
breaks down, it has an engine light on,

447
00:38:45,385 –> 00:38:47,225
or something’s clanking, or something.

448
00:38:47,585 –> 00:38:49,845
The first thing you do, you
take it to the mechanic.

449
00:38:50,174 –> 00:38:51,585
The mechanic is what?

450
00:38:51,825 –> 00:38:53,475
Mechanically inclined.

451
00:38:53,475 –> 00:38:57,915
So if you say this is what’s wrong, they
automatically know what they need to do.

452
00:38:58,515 –> 00:39:02,745
If you’re in pain, you can’t walk into
your doctor’s office and say, Oh, my

453
00:39:02,745 –> 00:39:09,045
back is aching, and they’re automatically
supposed to know what to do to relieve it.

454
00:39:09,525 –> 00:39:12,734
You’ve got to go into
your doctor’s office with

455
00:39:14,970 –> 00:39:22,710
the mindset that you know you want
relief and you want, you’re gonna

456
00:39:22,710 –> 00:39:25,170
need to work with your doctor.

457
00:39:25,170 –> 00:39:31,920
Don’t just put your body in your doctor’s
hands, work with your doctor hand in hand

458
00:39:31,920 –> 00:39:37,230
because it’s gonna take the two of you to
bring about the solution that you need.

459
00:39:37,530 –> 00:39:44,415
You’re gonna have to see your doctor
as the person who is assisting you as

460
00:39:44,415 –> 00:39:51,044
you assist your body in the healing
process, and that’s how healing begins.

461
00:39:51,464 –> 00:39:56,984
Because when you go in there and you,
you know you’re in pain, the first thing

462
00:39:56,984 –> 00:40:02,174
the doctor’s going to say to you, because
a doctor does not do the first form of

463
00:40:02,174 –> 00:40:07,095
healing, which is listening, so when you
go in there, you tell the doctor, I got

464
00:40:07,095 –> 00:40:09,225
pain in such and such a place in my body.

465
00:40:09,960 –> 00:40:11,790
And what’s the doctor going to say to you?

466
00:40:12,390 –> 00:40:15,540
Well, we are gonna need to do some tests.

467
00:40:16,500 –> 00:40:20,670
But in the meantime, here’s
a prescription for your pain.

468
00:40:20,670 –> 00:40:26,100
Now, I don’t even know what’s causing
your pain, but I give you a prescription.

469
00:40:26,370 –> 00:40:33,900
You have to understand that you want
the doctor to assist you because you are

470
00:40:33,900 –> 00:40:37,575
the only one that can heal your body.

471
00:40:37,935 –> 00:40:43,275
All we do as practitioners is work
with you and give you the guidance

472
00:40:43,275 –> 00:40:45,915
and support for the healing to begin.

473
00:40:46,185 –> 00:40:51,405
When you understand that, then
you have taken back control of

474
00:40:51,405 –> 00:40:53,625
your wellness to where it belongs.

475
00:40:53,895 –> 00:40:56,895
Inside you and with you.

476
00:40:57,675 –> 00:40:58,995
Yeah, I like that a lot.

477
00:40:59,415 –> 00:41:05,535
You know, you really need that
relationship in any healing journey.

478
00:41:05,985 –> 00:41:13,545
So if you work in conjunction with each
other, it’s gonna go a lot quicker,

479
00:41:13,545 –> 00:41:16,545
easier, and you’ll heal a lot quicker.

480
00:41:17,265 –> 00:41:27,255
So Njideka, is there a place where people
can reach out to you, get involved and see

481
00:41:27,255 –> 00:41:31,125
what you’re doing, and, uh, get your help?

482
00:41:31,995 –> 00:41:38,130
Well, the first thing I want to do, or
to share with you, there’s a, in, in the

483
00:41:38,130 –> 00:41:43,800
African culture, when you visit somebody’s
home for the first time, you bring a gift.

484
00:41:44,340 –> 00:41:47,910
So I come with a gift for you
and your listening audience.

485
00:41:48,360 –> 00:41:54,025
I have put together what is called
a medication/addiction- free poster,

486
00:41:55,365 –> 00:41:59,355
it’s a chart for you that helps you in
terms of you’d like to find some other

487
00:41:59,355 –> 00:42:03,915
alternatives in terms of relieving
pain without dealing with a medication.

488
00:42:04,185 –> 00:42:10,875
And all you have to do is go to
touchologyreflexology.com and download

489
00:42:10,875 –> 00:42:15,134
the poster, that’s my gift for me
spending time with you here today.

490
00:42:15,735 –> 00:42:20,924
The other thing is, I have a book,
which is called Reflexology Today, A

491
00:42:20,924 –> 00:42:27,105
Family Affair, which is, which breaks
down how you can use reflexology as an

492
00:42:27,105 –> 00:42:29,924
alternative in relieving pain and stress.

493
00:42:30,404 –> 00:42:38,265
And with, you can go to my website to get,
to get the book, it’s focusonhealing.com.

494
00:42:38,714 –> 00:42:45,725
And what I encourage everybody to do,
go to my website, focusonhealing.com.

495
00:42:45,740 –> 00:42:50,990
And I suggest to you, go to my
contact page if you have any

496
00:42:50,990 –> 00:42:55,760
questions, any comments, anything
that you wanna know about relieving

497
00:42:55,760 –> 00:42:58,760
pain using the power of touch.

498
00:42:59,150 –> 00:43:01,610
Send me your questions,
send me your comments,

499
00:43:01,670 –> 00:43:04,430
I will get back to you ’cause
I’d love to hear from you.

500
00:43:04,850 –> 00:43:09,840
And I, I’d say that to say, you
know, in terms of, the thing

501
00:43:09,840 –> 00:43:13,260
that I’m on, this, like, what I
could say, it’s like a movement.

502
00:43:13,290 –> 00:43:16,560
We’re, we’re, we’re talking
about putting the power of touch

503
00:43:16,560 –> 00:43:19,680
back into our wellness agenda.

504
00:43:20,130 –> 00:43:26,310
And the way we do that is by having
conversations in terms of how we

505
00:43:26,340 –> 00:43:28,830
see touch, how we understand touch.

506
00:43:29,130 –> 00:43:33,150
And once we start that, we can
turn this whole thing around.

507
00:43:34,020 –> 00:43:38,490
And, and so I, the thing that I say, and
thanks to you for having me as a guest

508
00:43:38,490 –> 00:43:44,070
on your podcast, is for the listeners
to understand that the power to heal

509
00:43:44,070 –> 00:43:50,400
is inside you and to always remember
that the power of touch heals all.

510
00:43:51,840 –> 00:43:52,650
That’s right.

511
00:43:52,920 –> 00:43:57,300
You know, Njideka, you
are a fantastic guest.

512
00:43:57,660 –> 00:44:04,470
You have a lot to offer, and, you know,
people need to understand more about

513
00:44:04,590 –> 00:44:11,190
touch and you outline so much more
that we don’t recognize about touch.

514
00:44:11,220 –> 00:44:17,970
I really enjoyed that aspect of
our conversation today and I can’t

515
00:44:17,970 –> 00:44:21,390
