Happy Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day

Today is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to anyone who is celebrating! Oftentimes a mother is someone who birthed a child. Sometimes a mother is someone who helped to raise a child. Soma Technology would like to celebrate all types of mothers.

Special Bond Between Mother and Child

Typically, a mother that carries her child through term has a special bodily connection to their child. Firstly, they share genetics. Secondly, the mother was a host for the baby for close to 9 months. Mothers by nature are fearfully protective of their young. As humans evolved and formed compassion, we realize a different type of love.

Giving and receiving love scientifically makes people happier. Creating a bond allows people to socialize, and freely communicate with another, which helps to practice mindfulness. A hug or cuddling releases oxytocin into the brain which is a natural feel-good chemical. When people feel good, they tend to be happier and do better. Feeling loved by both parties helps people to live longer and is addicting. The release of oxytocin in the brain conditions humans to be happy every time they see their mother.
