Exploring the Buddhist/Taoist concept of non-doing and intention in
relation to bodywork, this book focuses on how the therapist should
approach their client without agenda and meet them where they are
at. This requires the therapist to pay attention to their own
surfacing intentions and leave assumptions behind so they may focus
on simply 'being', which is a profoundly active, non-reactive
expression of presence, rather than a passive state of resignation.
The ramifications of sub-conscious doing and wilful intention can
negatively impact expressions of health and so the author explains
how therapists may skilfully navigate between intention, attention
and embodied non-doing whilst treating clients, and how this
creates the foundations for safe relational touch.
