After a decade of fatigue topped off with a radical accidental overdose of Prozac, I had to rebuild my body and energetic system from nearly scratch. I tried a multitude of things. This morning attunement has become my rock.

It takes inspiration from the many cultures that root themselves in time and space by honoring east, south, west, and north. Then I turn to the earth and receive the yin feminine qualities. I thank my mother, my grandmother, and all the grandmothers. Then I turn to the sun and ask for the energy of the mother that I’ve just received to be activated by the yang masculine qualities. I thank my father, grandfathers, and all the grandfathers for their offering. Finally, I turn inward to the center of myself. I connect to my soul and the center of the universe.

I allow my body to move itself. My body isn’t the slave to my mind. It know how to operate itself independently of mind, and this attunement connects me to that way of being. Each days’ movements are different and new. I trust that it will stretch, loosen, activate, and flex in the perfect way to honor how much or little energy I have.

As always, feel free to pop any questions in the comments. I’m here.
