Attunement as a First Aid Protocol

I would like to share several of my experiences with Attunement in a first aid setting. Since my earliest Attunement training nearly 20 years ago, the concept of sharing Attunement as part of first aid seemed obvious. There seems no more critical a time to be sharing the theme, "All is well."

First, a little background: I have had extensive first aid training. As a youngster, I was an Eagle Scout, which of course, included first aid and lifesaving merit badges. Over the years, numerous courses followed including Red Cross Lifesaving certification, Wilderness First Responder certification, as well as CPR training.

My Attunement response in emergency situations has been intuitive, and I do not profess to be suggesting what should, or should not be done. However, I would like to describe several emergency first aid situations, and how Attunement was used effectively.

I have found that my hands are drawn right to the point of injury in a trauma situation, and to the cervicals in a nonspecific situation. I often maintain an Attunement pattern for long past the traditional 20 minutes I had been taught are ideal, sometimes holding a pattern for an hour or more. But the results have been dramatic. And of course, Attunement is no substitute for whatever first aid protocols are necessary! If I am alone with the victim, it is first aid first, and Attunement as I can best manage it.

Here are a number of first aid situations that I have encountered over the years where Attunement has been effectively used:

• A hand that was caught in a slammed car door. Immediate, direct Attunement radiation left the hand without bruising or lasting injury whatsoever.
• A finger burned on a muffler of over 500 degrees – hand immersed in water with Attunement for 15 minutes – no evidence of a burn and no pain afterwards.
• On a sailing trip, a hand pinned to the mast by a backwinded jib sheet – hundreds of pounds of pressure turned several fingers black and blue. An hour of ice and Attunement left no visible injury even though fingers could not even be curled immediately after the injury.
• Boiling hot tea spilled on a youngster left a burn area of approximately 3" in diameter on upper thigh with numerous blisters appearing immediately. Treatment was cool water on the burn area, treatment for shock, and Attunement radiation for over an hour. Medical personnel later pronounced that the boy had only suffered 1st degree burns (sunburn type). He was pain-free that afternoon without medication.

I have adopted three principles that guide me in a first aid setting:

1. It is important to maintain an attitude of "all is well" for both yourself and the injured person. I attend to my first aid and Attunement with the same excitement as making breakfast. This is the time to exude "calm."
2. Timing is important. I try to begin Attunement as soon as possible. I am conjecturing that Attunement may maintain a vibrational pattern of normalcy even while the physical body has sustained injury.
3. Don't forget first aid! All the normal priorities apply – Safety, breathing and bleeding come first.

Finally, I usually encounter acceptance of non-touch radiation whenever I share Attunement in an emergency situation. I knew times had changed when my mother-in-law suffered a bout of congestive heart failure a couple of years ago. I shared Attunement with her (cervical pattern) while two grizzled New York City paramedics administered oxygen and an IV. They acted like Attunement was a normal paramedic protocol. And maybe someday, it will be!
