Dawn also looks at the personal qualities worth cultivating as an adjunct to compassionate touch, including intuition, adaptability, acceptance, focus and openheartedness. She also describes touch techniques and complementary relaxation techniques such as aromatherapy and meditation. Full guidelines are given for touch sessions and for caring for the caregiver.
