Attunement

What we can attune to, we can heal.

Relationships are the life-giving rivers that sustain and nurture us; yet conversely, they are also part of what brings us the most pain.

Relationships thrive in attunement. If this term is a bit unfamiliar to you, attuned relationships are those connections where the harmony is so sweet, you can almost hear it.

To gain attunement we need to take time to listen to what the other person is saying and get in tune with the music in their hearts. Similar to a guitar being tuned by a piano, we can take time to really hear the people in our lives. Does this mean we have to agree? No. But is that the point of relationships, to decide who's right and who's wrong?

Attunement is deep understanding, a correspondence of care and respect; it's a way to work through the shadows and get back to the light.
