In this type of acupuncture we talk about wu wei, it is the art of doing nothing or no thing. It is our practice that we merely are in the treatment room; we exist. The Tao De Jing says:
From this the wise man relies on doing nothing in the open, it's wu-wei. And he spreads doctrines without true or false words, by a wordless influence. All things appear, and he hardly turns away from the creatures worked on by him. Some he gives solid, good life, he hardly disowns his chosen ones. He hardly takes possession of anyone under fair conditions.
One one level, it is to give our patients the gift that all is done by themselves, the people accomplish everyting that is done, that there is. They should have the thought that we, the practitioners, do no thing to bring about the changes. When the patient realizes how superfluous we are, our task is finished.
