The Right Kind of Touch

Conscious Touch: A New Paradigm in Healing

Conscious Touch, developed by Roger Jackson, represents a transformative shift in how we approach healing and repair. Unlike many modalities—therapy, yoga, coaching, breathwork, and even some somatic practices—that often view the body and mind as projects to be worked on, Conscious Touch offers a refreshing perspective: nothing needs to be fixed.

The Essence of Conscious Touch

In this innovative approach, the body is not a project, and the mind is not a problem to solve. Instead, Conscious Touch emphasizes the importance of simply being with another human being. It fosters a space for non-demanding, platonic, physical contact, allowing the body to rest, open, and ultimately trust.

This shift moves us away from a goal-directed mindset—where the focus is on doing, improving, or fixing—to one of being, acceptance, and connection. Here, touch serves as a medium, inviting you to receive love, attention, and care without needing to earn it. For many, this is a novel experience, rarely encountered during childhood or adulthood.

The Impact of Conscious Touch

Conscious Touch provides a unique opportunity for individuals to experience true repair at the nervous system level—not through words or striving, but through the simple act of being met without conditions. This approach is powerful and deeply unfamiliar for many, making it a groundbreaking practice.
