What is attunement for me
Over the years, we’ve had a lot of complex definitions around what attunement is. My current definition is “assisting people to remember their covenant with God.”That’s what the attunement process is - assisting people to be set free in their circumstances, not from them. We get these so-called brand-new people in the room. That’s probably why they’re finding this place now - because of the level of vibration present that’s welcoming people home,home to this setting, home to attunement. To me, that high level of vibration represents the focused essence of a lot of years of consistency in people’s lives.
We spoke of how easy it is for people to come into attunement. In fact, we’re always in attunement. It’s what we’re in attunement with that matters. There’s the attunement-with-love aspect, and we come into that pretty quickly; but then something comes up and we get angry as can be, and the attunement is gone. We are in this room today (and in other places) because there are folks who allowed themselves to align with what they came on earth to do, and then they managed to sustain it. It’s that ability to sustain the attunement current, extending a loving blessing into the earth no matter what’s been happening in a person’s life, that allows settings like this to manifest.
My attunement work is largely dependent on my state of consciousness, a state in which I hold the practice of Attunement as a sacred ceremony. With that consciousness, the attunement that I have to share with others is a sacred ritual. As a practitioner, when that is your thinking, you know that your attunement is not about trying to fix something. Rather, you’re inviting others into a sacred place to see what you have to do together.

What a great (read "useful") question: What am I in attunement with? Right now, and right now, and right now.... I'm going to tape that question onto my frig, and my computer and anywhere else where I will see it often, and do a one-person study - how am I doing at sustaining my attunement with God today?

During this hour of meditation, perusing the amazing provision of this web site of the Attunement Guild, I have been drawn into this current of love that you speak of and embody Paul. The presence of you and so many friends - true friends, is so precious. It is good to connect in ths vibrational space. Good to be together in attunement with God.
Deepest love, Nadeja

Ahh, reading Paul's entry reminds me, reminds me. We live our complex lives and once again I recall that attunement is not something I do in a closed room with my hands over contact points. We bring a sense of the sacred into that complex life, with all these people that come to us one way or another. Lately I am teaching watercolor painting and I am aware that my job as an instructor is 1% technique and 99% spirit. Thank you Paul for your breath of life into my heart.
What am I in attunement with? Now that is a good question. I believe that emotions such as anger, restlessness, discontent - you know that twitchy feeling in your solar plexus that something is up? All those emotions are fine - they are indicators of where to look, what to notice. I am one of those people who feel what others feel, especially strong emotion. This was a difficult talent to learn to use correctly but in attunement it is invaluable as long as I am aware of it. Feeling what others feel without taking on their entanglement with those emotions is tricky. It is in a sense a handicap in navigating our culture. I shield myself from any unnecessary hits from the media. I rarely watch television news for that reason.I am aware that attunement is about who I am and what atmosphere I bring all the time. The hardest thing for me to realize lately is that Life does not alway express in a pleasant way. Attunement is not necessarily always nice. For me it takes a lot of trust to let the current of spirit work out circumstances and relationships when things do not feel wonderful. Right now a person close to me is dying of cancer. He will pass soon and as he goes, he sorts the relationships of his life - most are people related to me. It feels like I have a silent role in this outworking; providing the steady current of love.
Love and Blessings to all,

Patience seems to be the word for today. In my world I am holding both the health and emotional well being of my 83 year old mother, as well as the health of my 87 year old father in law.
He has cancer and his prognosis does not seem good.
I watch the season turn to autumn with glorious color and sunny days, and I see it through his eyes, as if for the last time. The feeling is poignant and bittersweet.
Our elders wait - navigating the last stages of their lives. Trying to apply everything they have learned - trying to be what an elder is supposed to be. We hope that our elders are wise. We hope that we can learn something from them. Very few of them actually have a deep reservoir of substance and I ask myself - how real is my own reservoir? Will I have reserves to share when I reach my mother's age, 20 short years from now? I look to those who are actually doing it, our living models and I think, how incredibly valuable they are. They exert patience with us; they extend even more patience with the world. I thank the many many elders that live now and those that have already passed. I owe a debt of gratitude and I can only hope to pass it on in my daily living in attunement with the clear tone of Life.
