Umm, sounds like a load of crap to me.

What is haptonomy?
Haptonomy is a feeling and touching way of dealing with yourself and others.This is to be taken literally and figuratively. Haptonomy is the science of touching and feeling.
The more precise somebody can deal with his touch and feeling possibilities,the healthier his body and mind will develop.
By means of touching and being touched,one gets and gives information.This information is directly linked to the feeling.That is way people who find themselves in such a situation ,find out something about themselves and others.
The touching and the feeling is direct and personal.What man learns from this is,'what do I experience and what am I going to do with it'.
In the western world man has turned into a thinking feeler.
There would be more harmony if he had turned into a feeling thinker.Haptonomy tries to find the balance between the two.
Being touched without having any double meaning does not go without speaking in this world.Touching in haptonomy has to be done respectfully.Trough the bodily experiences,the feeling for your own body deepens,your selfconsciousness returns,you come to terms with yourself and through this with your living and working environnement.Relationships can develop and be more joyful.
Haptonomy can also be used during a pregnancy.In institutes of haptonomy people can work under supervision with their own possibilities and views.
The quality of human life lies in the possibilities of relationships that may contribute to greater happiness and also selfdevelopment.If you let yourself be guided by reason and feeling,then haptonomy is a part of your life.
The word haptonomy comes from the Greek 'hapsis and nomos' which mean feeling and rules.
