Attunement and Field Dynamics

This article was originally written in 1988 for a children's newsletter, with the intent of setting the stage for childhood Attunement education. — Editor

Most of you have probably shared an Attunement and have some idea of what they are about. I asked my little girl who attends one of our classes why you would share Attunement, and she said, "Because you love somebody". And that is very true.

Attunement, though, is much more than when you sit or lie down and somebody holds their hands around you. Attunement relates to a special place inside you from which the beauty of your own light shines. As this light comes from you, you are actually giving an Attunement. This happens when you feed and care for your pets around the house, or water your plants or maybe even talk to them. Even going for a walk, you can give an Attunement to the earth because you are happy inside. If you sing a song as you walk, this is all part of showing the love that you have to give.

One of the most important parts of giving an Attunement is to make sure that you are very still inside, like just before you go to bed at night and you listen to your mother or father read to you or tell you a story and you feel very calm. Or when you fi rst wake up in the morning after a good night's rest, you have a sweet feeling of being alive and you carry that feeling with you all day long. You must always remember that you can't give to somebody what you don't have.

Sometimes you have feelings that aren't so great, or what you are thinking isn't quite right and maybe your body has a cold, but even if all these things are going on you know thatlife is very strong. I heard a story once of a little mushroom that was growing under a cement sidewalk, but the mushroom was so strong that it split open the hard cement and grew right through. So if you know that life can do these things, you can tell your feelings or your wrong thoughts or your sick body that it's okay, and in a little while it will all change.

Did you know that you can share an Attunement with someone who is very far away? You can do this by thinking of them. It's as if you were to call them on the telephone and talk with them. We all have these invisible telephone lines between our special family and friends and they are always there. In our home we have the whole front of our refrigerator covered with pictures of some of the people that we love very much, and sometimes we look at them and think about these people. Other times we send our friends a card or draw them a picture and tell them how much we appreciate them. These are all ways in which we help one another.

It is always good to be able to help your friends around you and in school. Can you tell sometimes when one of your best buds is having a hard time? Do you go over and give him or her a hug or go ask him to do something fun, or if he would just like to talk? In whatever you do, you let your friend know that everything is okay.

Wouldn't it be neat if we could see the Attunement light coming from our hands or maybe our eyes? Well, it is there through a smile or through just being close to someone. Through every picture you draw, every helping hand you offer, every time you look at someone and appreciate them for who they are, in all these things you have given an Attunement, and it is because you are love.
