How Attunement has Helped Me as a Parent
The greatest learning experience and opportunity for spiritual growth in my life has been my role as a single parent. Being a parent is not easy even if you have a good partner.
My sons are 17 years apart in age. All of the time I was raising my oldest son, I was unaware of Attunement. Even so, I always relied on my relationship with the Creator for guidance and support. I find that even now that he is an adult, my role as a parent continues.
Attunement has proven to be a very effective tool in my parenting. I am very aware of the difference Attunement has made. Two of the most diffi cult aspects for me personally as a parent are letting go and not reacting with frustration, fear and anger but with calm, steady love and understanding. Attunement is a great tool for both of these aspects.
During Attunement classes, Chris (Jorgensen) spoke often of using energy to create a container. It took me a while to understand this concept. I use distance Attunement with the boys. I think I create containers for myself as well as for them. Attunement becomes a place where I can go to calm down and center. It is a place for me to express love and faith instead of fear and anxiety, an energy fl ow I can feel to assure myself that whatever they need, the Universe is supplying. Both of my sons have been very challenging, fearless, adventurous and rebellious. As they choose to do things the hard way, I can observe and let them experience life on life’s terms without my mediation.
On the nights when my youngest son (now 18) is out late or traveling, instead of worrying for his safety, I have learned to "tune in" to his energy and know that he is safe. I fi gured this out when I was doing distance Attunement for my neighbor’s teenage daughter. After a frantic call from my neighbor late one Friday night, I started distance Attunement for her daughter and knew immediately she was in trouble; there was no energy. We were able to get her help.
Attunement reduces the arguments. I can set limits and consequences without emotional attachment for the outcome. It keeps me calm and unemotional so I can let the consequences of their actions manifest without interference, without feeling personally responsible. Being a parent is not easy but it has been easier with Attunement.
