ATTUNEMENT
Listening Without Reaching
Before continuing, pause.
Take one breath. Sound one tone.
Take one breath. Sound one tone.
Attunement does not begin in thought.
It begins in the body.
Before philosophy.
Before insight.
Before transcendence.
The nervous system settles.
The breath slows without being forced.
The jaw softens.
The shoulders release their subtle guard.
Reaction does not disappear.
It simply loses urgency.
We listen.
And in listening, the system reorganizes itself.
Attunement is not something you perform.
It is something you stop interrupting.
What does attunement feel like right now?
Whatever is present is welcome here.
