Abstract
The essence of nursing is not doing or manipulating but is being open to whatever arises in the interaction with the client. It is being fully present, with an unconditional acceptance of the client's experience. The nurse offers his or her whole self so that the client can resonate with an authentic person. The nurse is like a tuning fork through which the client can begin to resonate with the consciousness of the universe.Keywords
