Happy New Year, 2026, also the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese calendar (as of February). This special year is expected to bring high energy and transformation, and it should be a treat that occurs only every 60 years. I think we deserve that treat and should will it after living through the pain of losses, economic stagnation, and the many controversies of post-COVID reality. Let this year bring about the unutilized reserves within us and be a year of health - physical, emotional, economic, and societal.

The mechanism of “good touch”.

Warmth and Hugging Strengthen the Feeling of Being You

A growing body of research shows that temperature signals from the skin help shape bodily self-awareness, influencing how connected we feel to our physical selves.

Warmth and touch strengthen the feeling of body ownership by engaging interoceptive pathways that link sensation to emotion and identity.

Disruptions in thermal perception can weaken this sense of embodiment, contributing to detachment in several mental health and neurological conditions.

These insights may inform new therapeutic strategies that use temperature-based or tactile interventions to support grounding and wellbeing.
