Can a kiss heal you?
A few years back a friend of mine was sharing that her little 3-year-old granddaughter had stayed with her on an overnight visit. My friend had been suffering with a painful foot for months and had it propped on a footstool. Her granddaughter immediately started kissing it. “Oh poor, poor Grandma,” the little girl tenderly empathized. Then she kissed her foot some more.
My friend said she told her granddaughter, “Oh that’s grandma’s dirty foot. Don’t kiss that.”
I asked her if her pain was gone.
She looked stunned a moment as it dawned on her that the pain she’d suffered for many months was now gone. Her granddaughter had healed her with her kisses.
Does that sound crazy to you?
In Healing Touch I learned about the body energy centers commonly called chakras which is Sanskrit for spinning wheel or vortex. When I work on your energy centers I know when your energy opens partly because I can feel this rotation in the palm of my hand. When I feel it, you as a client usually report feeling much better, lighter, and your tummy rumbles.
I learned during my HT certification training that we can direct this healing energy through our fingertips, palms, and lips. And that’s what I want to talk about today—the overlooked healing power of your lips.
Did you know that your lips have more nerve endings than any other part of your body? Did you know that the neurobiological process of a kiss releases dopamine and oxytocin (the feel-good safety hormones)? This lowers stress hormones in the body like cortisol. Pain lessens and without its interference, the body is free to heal. EEG data even shows stronger brain activation during a kiss.
Now isn’t it interesting that little kids inherently know this. That’s why they ask you to kiss their pain away. Imagine what happens when you kiss someone’s forehead—the third eye chakra center responsible for the vision of your highest Source-connected wisdom.
When I was in nursing school in 1978, I learned that if someone is unconscious to gently tap them at the center of their forehead (Third Eye) to help them come back into their body. The kissing of this area also wakens, comforts, calms, and assures love. If you put your forehead to another’s, you’ll feel a connection within and with them like no other. If you are aware, you might even get a glimpse of them as their authentic soul self.
This week, if you’re feeling particularly vulnerable, anxious, or sad, or if you want a deeper connection, ask your loved one to kiss your forehead and notice how you feel. Also notice how often you’re already doing this naturally with those you love. A kiss is powerful healing for both the giver and receiver.
