Airport Screening and Attunement

I can truly say that my experience with most of the passengers that I have encountered as an airport screener in the last twenty-three months have been delightful. However, occasionally there are diffi cult attitudes that present themselves and must be addressed by both passengers and screeners. I have found that these attitudes generally fall under the themes of confrontation and the need to be right.

During the fi rst few weeks following training I found myself becoming disoriented and sometimes agitated if a passenger became irritated with the screening process or with me. Even if the passenger said nothing, but showed signs of frustration it would bother me. Sometimes it would take an hour or so following an incident for me to let go and get beyond the energy of the confrontational situation. It became obvious that something needed to change in me.

I took steps to modify the approach I used with each passenger. I set my intent on increasing my appreciation and respect for each person whom I encountered. I started setting an atmosphere of peace and thanksgiving in my own body, mind, and heart before beginning work each day. I also found it helpful to silently share an Attunement with each person I screened.

My modifi ed approach has created changes in my work situation. Now when I greet a passenger I offer an atmosphere of peace, balance, and respect. I intentionally express a focused acknowledgment of "Being", often using eye contact as a point of radiation. Regardless of the passenger's attitude, I keep my demeanor and voice tone relaxed, peaceful and uplifting. I consciously acknowledge their attitudes, be it happiness, anger, indifference, etc. I accommodate as best I can their specifi c needs while continuing to identify with the presence of Being in both of us. I have seen some rather irate individuals move into calmer space while being enfolded in this conscious manner. I have discovered that when I offer my highest and best and silently call on the passenger to do the same, I usually receive their highest and best in return.

In my new approach to the passengers, their attitudes of confrontation and the need to be right lessen and are often released. I am humbled by how simply and easily this can be done. This being said, I am also amazed by how easily one can forget this approach at times. I see this happening in other areas of living, for example in one's need to control a child or parent, or feelings that arise about the person who pulled in front of me while driving, about the county assessor who raised my property taxes, or about the person holding up the check-out line at the grocery store. These can all become charged emotional examples of the need to be right and to be confrontational. So, let us practice the Attunement approach in all our living.

The Attunement process is a simple, radiant, loving way to live life. Yield to the presence and direction of "Being". As one does this, the entanglements of unbalanced emotions dissolve, the problems are clarifi ed and life is good.
