I believe that much dysfunction exists because people do not know how to self-nurture. Most of us know that dysfunction is due to fear. But those who know how to self-nurture definitively fear-less.

People who were not touched or held enough as babies, especially babies who were not breast fed by their moms tend to lack the ability to nurture themselves as adults, to a large part.

That has been one of my biggest problems, not knowing how to nurture myself, until recently that is and yet it is so simple an exercise that everyone does it every time they go out for fast food like KFC for example, no wonder fast food is so popular!!! Just the act of eating it with our own hands self nurtures! Luckily if we choose we can transmute the stuff in fast foods that is not so healthy for us. ;)

To me the self-nurturing key, finger food, rather, eating with our fingers, would resolve a lot of problems for those with eating disorders even!!! Eat everything with your fingers well, slowly and with intent, but you may need a spoon for the soup, lol, you might just feel better but now you will know why, at the least you just might remember why it is young ones suck their thumbs! What a gift going abck to our childhood can be!
