This book advocates for the practice of non-doing within therapist-client settings, achieved by the therapist paying attention to their own intentions and leaving all assumptions behind in order to be truly present with their client. This builds the foundations of safe touch and builds upon a sense of calm intensity and its expression in non-doing.
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.
