Words of Wisdom
On sharing an attunement - Poem by Tricia Heriz-Smith
There is magic here
that needs no special props
no witches brew
or whispered incantations
|
 |
That takes us forward
to who we were designed
to be and clears the air
of disturbed thoughts.
|
| |
|
No drumbeat or chanting
no hypnotic dance,
or strange behaviours
to change completely
the world I know.
|
There is magic here
that transforms the very stuff
of which we’re made
till each particle sings to creation.
|
| |
|
There is magic here
so simple and so pure
that skeptics smile
(for the first time in weeks).
|
And, in this place we are
on fire with Love
and everything we touch
though seeming same, is blessed.
|
| |
|
And heavy doubters
walk out with a light step
and troubled hearts
find peace.
|
Is this not magic?
a mother’s touch
a lover’s glance
and this, a shared attunement.
|
| |
|
There is magic here
that changes water
to wine, each cell
to its remembered perfection.

Attunement: A Way of Life - Joyce Ellenbecker
Attunement has increasingly become a way of life for me, as steady and reliable as breathing.
While sharing an attunement recently, a question came to mind: Why do I persist in sharing attunements when there are all sorts of other healing modalities to choose from?
I have experienced other techniques that have many healing qualities. Some people, regardless of modality, are natural healers. They think it is the technique that is doing the healing: "If only I master the technique, then I will be healed (or can heal others”). This motivation is honorable and noble, but is it really the technique that does the job? I believe it is the connection with spirit that is paramount.
Let love radiate without concern for results. While there may be results, that is not my primary concern. My concern is to be connected to the angelic spirit within, which in turn is connected to the universal life spirit or God. When I am connected to the angelic spirit on a consistent basis, then what I offer through Attunement can be extended to wherever the energy/vibration is needed. I still hold a vivid memory of my first attunement - what I remember most is the welcoming of spirit, the connection.
Recently, I shared an attunement with someone who taught another form of energy work. After the attunement he stated, "This is not energy work; it is vibrational work. It goes deeper."
One year I made a commitment to myself to share a self-attunement every day. Aside from being fun and healthy, I found myself becoming more and more conscious of the various vibrations during a day, time of year, weather pattern and/or whatever else was going on in my world and beyond. Such a simple practice, and yet so far-reaching. Try it and be amazed.
The Power of Creation - Martin Cecil - 1983
I am sure there is a longing in every open heart for honesty and clarity, the joy of administering the creative cycles on earth. What a wonder this is, and what miracles occur when it is present!
Miracles occur because the power of spiritual expression, the impact of real live people expressing Spirit, is absolutely irresistible. Those who express Spirit constantly and consistently in their lives extend a welcome to others – a welcome into a sacred place, the holy place where spiritual expression originates. We may sometimes think of giving attunements in the sense of projecting something, doing something to the physical form. But real attunement implies an experience of coming home, doesn’t it? – an experience in which hearts and minds, and therefore bodies of people, are brought again into the garden of God, into the holy place.
To welcome someone into the holy place, one must have a holy place within oneself. This is health—perhaps not healing, but health. There is a distinction to be made. People want to be healed so they can continue to function in whatever state they were in before. They may claim that if they are healed they will serve God better, but that’s not the point. The point is for minds and hearts to be made new.
How gently, how easily, all that is present in human consciousness can be handled. How gently, how easily, things can be made new. It is usually the human view that to cause anything to happen in the world some sort of forceful imposition must be brought to bear. This is war, of course, at whatever level a particular war may manifest. War is not the way of Spirit. The spirit does bring something to bear, via radiation, into human consciousness, something that, as I have said, is irresistible. At least, it is irresistible to minds and hearts that are willing to yield. In those who are not willing, resistance is engendered. But what is the point of resisting the irresistible power?
So we know what happens. We, being aligned with Spirit, are responsible for administering the creative cycle. We may observe, as others do, what is happening around us, but, being unmoved by it, we are in position to provide whatever is fitting and possible to assist others in their process of yielding to Spirit. We know what the clarifying and sanctification of a human mind is and what the purification of a human heart is to the extent that we have experienced it in our own personal mind and heart. If we haven’t had the experience we don’t know what it is, and we can be of no assistance or value to anybody else. If we do know, we can assist others into a state of consciousness where their minds and hearts may be clarified and purified.
All who will come are welcomed into the holy place. And within the holy place is wholeness. The welcome, through Attunement, is far beyond a patching-up process that allows people to stick around a little longer and maybe, in time, yield their hearts and minds. It is the yielding of the heart and mind that is the point, the coming into the holy place where wholeness is. Coming into the holy place, one has the experience of wholeness—no need to shop around any more to try to get fixed up. Here, whatever needs to be done to administer the creative cycle is done.
This is our highest vision, that in momentary living the truth may be known because it is in expression. That expression is spiritual expression, the focus for the power that operates the universe to find fitting and right and creative release in human experience. We are responsible for this. What a glorious responsibility! We share it now and in all the hours and days, months and years to come. Here is peace, here is beauty, here is love.
Abiding: A Meditation - Uranda - 1952

As human beings go through what they call life, a period of existence on earth, they are (generally speaking) functioning in a pattern of self-activity which gradually but surely destroys the union between God’s love and truth within themselves; and consequently, sooner or later, life ceases to manifest in their bodies. The process of healing in any phase of being with respect to any aspect of life is fundamentally a process of being so centered in God’s love that God’s love and truth, His patterns of perfect design, may come to a point of union in us. And from that union, life is born. The more completely we move toward a centering in the divine source, the more nearly perfect is the outworking of the divine union in us of God’s love and truth, and the more vibrant is the expression of life.
So our first step, having seen the light of this particular truth, is to let the substance of God’s love fill us all the way, to let the substance of God’s love penetrate into every organ, every gland, every nerve and tissue, filling the whole body. Sometimes, at first at least, it is a little difficult for the human being to have any adequate realization of God’s love as substance. So we illustrate a little. If we had clear gelatin you could not see the gelatin unless you looked closely. Perhaps it is a little opaque, but you have to really look to see it. But when that gelatin is set it will hold in suspension pieces of fruit, so that they are from top to bottom. The substance of God’s love is somewhat like that gelatin, and every organ of the body, every cell is supposed to be in suspension in that substance of God’s love. The tissues of the body, the organs, are very often starved for God’s love—physically starved—for God’s love is important to the life and health of physical substance.
All human beings are supposed to be temples of the living God, but if the glory of the Lord fills the temple and shines round about, there will be evidence of it in the expression of our lives, in the spirit of our service and ministry. So first, let us allow God’s love to fill us.
Dancing on the Sea of Glass - Maria Franco - 2006
In one of our sessions I shared how the precious gift of attunement came to my life, and that was mainly through Roger de Winton. In his radiant presence he conveyed to me something that transformed my life: “Welcome. I know who you are. I recognize you. You are made in the image and likeness of God. You are a divine Being.” I felt I was basking in the presence of the living God. It wasn’t just the physical presence of Roger. It was this huge light that came from inside of him. I felt that I was seen by the eyes of God and reminded of my holiness and heritage.
All of us want to be reminded of who we really are. Once we are reminded, it doesn’t stop there. If we want to honor and acknowledge the gift we received by being seen in the radiance of our true nature, we are called to take the next step: to be that example for others. It’s to see everyone as the perfection and the wholeness of God here on earth, because this is the truth of who we are. It doesn’t matter how we feel or how many limitations we believe we have. I remember telling Roger, “You know, but I feel this and that...” He wasn’t paying attention to that. He never did, and I thank God for that. He only saw my true essence, something that I wasn’t able to see in myself ten years ago.
I want to invite you to see yourself as that perfect emanation of God. You are that. You are the light of the world. Somebody said that many years ago, but it’s as current now as it was at that time. We are still the light of the world. Let’s look at everyone and everything in this world with the eyes of God. Those eyes of God are the eyes of love, eyes that only see perfection and wholeness and beauty and incredible radiance
The World in Our Hands - David Karchere - 2007
The usual human view is that all those people and all those circumstances are out there in our world and, for the most part, “There ain’t nothin’ we can do about it.” We might be able to try to change those people and those circumstances, and for most people, after making that attempt, somewhere along the line they give up. They find some kind of futility in trying to change other people, and on that basis life is futile. For the more ambitious of us, we sally forth into the world to change world circumstances, and in the end that is futile, as well, if we ourselves are not being consumed by the spirit of love.
Where we do allow ourselves to be consumed by love, we find that we have the world in our hands and in our consciousness, and we have the power to transform that world—not primarily out there, but primarily in here, in consciousness. We find that the creative spirit can move through our own consciousness and transform what’s present there. It transforms how we think of that world, how we feel about it, how we hold it, and what we bring to it. And as that’s true for us, our world does transform.
Here is the mastery in living that is each person’s destiny. For each of us, there is a step to take in that mastery. There is something next for us to do to allow ourselves to be consumed by love. There is a step to take, there’s an action to take, spiritually speaking, for each of us in every moment. There is something to melt in our heart, there’s something to forgive, there’s something to forget. There’s courage to bring. There is something true to love. There is something powerful to come through consciousness, which changes consciousness. It changes us and changes our world. Every person has that next step, and we have a choice as to whether we take that step or whether we opt for something else.
Green Pastures Attunement Session -
Roger de Winton -1991
In our movement forward in service there are certain stages in accomplishing the release of the current of love. Firstly, there is the matter of thankfulness, knowing this as part of one’s commission, which, naturally leads to being filled with praise to the Lord, so that the attributes of love (kindness, generosity without judgment, gentleness, humility, respect, trust, and many others) may emerge naturally into consciousness. And in love’s rhythm, right steps to handling what is brought may be consciously revealed. Secondly, sustaining of heart and mind in openness, so that this current of thankfulness can continue without allowing things like blame and resentment to enter in. Thirdly, the establishment of tranquility, the state of purification of heart and mind, so that we become so accustomed to carrying these facilities for thankfulness with us through the day, and, so our growing trust for love and what it brings increases. As these steps of entrainment are sustained, there comes a realization that the thankful view allows the power of love to move, to draw factors in our world together and provide a new control to come, without things having to be a certain way.
Being willing to be thankful in one’s daily living avoids becoming complacent. In this, it seems that there’s a need to keep checking on one’s motivation to ensure that love has a pathway to move through. It seems natural to remind oneself frequently of the wonder of the commission assumed in the inner realms, the acknowledging of this commission on earth through steps of awakening, and honoring through a thankful heart.
In establishing “the way of attunement,” awareness of radiation is the first step, as there is a turning to love with gratitude to Source…. Then certain things happen. Love’s radiation moves through us and brings a conscious assurance. And as this is sustained over time, a certain natural authority begins to emerge in our service.
