What does it mean to be 'in touch' with your body? Being “in touch” means being able to sense, with keen awareness, the body as a whole and also specific parts of the body as feeling and sensation. We get to the point of feeling drained, stressed, and out of touch with ourselves. Often we find ourselves submerged in a frenzied daily routine: meeting work demands, being firmly attached to the steering wheel, not having enough time to complete chores, help others solve their problems, and some other situations.
