Touch

Touch marks a significant shift in digestion determination, from CONDITIONS (what you eat) to CIRCUMSTANCES (the environment while you eat). Connected to Color 4, Touch means your digestion is affected by the external environment and sensory stimuli present while you're eating. If this is your determination, WHAT you eat matters less than the CIRCUMSTANCES under which you eat it. Your body's digestive efficiency is determined by the texture, feel, and sensory quality of your eating environment. Are you comfortable? Is the setting pleasant? Can you touch and feel your food? Touch determination people are highly sensitive to the tactile and sensory experience of eating. The surface you sit on, the utensils you use, the texture of food in your hands or mouth, all of these environmental factors directly affect how well your body processes nutrition. Experimenting with Touch means paying attention to your eating environment. Notice whether you digest better in comfortable, pleasant settings versus rushed, uncomfortable ones. Try eating with your hands sometimes. Pay attention to textures. Your body's response to the sensory environment of eating will tell you everything about this determination.
