Being & Doing
In his talk, "Being in Heaven," Martin Exeter called heaven "the place of being," with earth as "the place of achievement" or doing. He further said: "If we merely try to be on earth we'll find considerable struggle involved....In one way or another we have to make a living, for instance – hard work.... There are all kinds of things that are seemingly necessary to sustain our being on earth - and no one has ever been successful.... If we are to experience what it means to be, to know the qualities of being, heaven is the place." (Third Sacred School, Volume 5).
I am blessed to share my life with two fur people who provide me with daily lessons on the art of Being, if only I remember to pay attention. I suppose we make quite a sight walking through the neighborhood, with 4-year old Pepper as far in front as his leash will allow, and 16-year old Muffin hanging back to make sure that every fascinating spot gets thoroughly and completely sniffed, with me stretched out in the middle like Gumby. This spectacle doesn't bother the two of them, of course. They just keep on being what they are, regardless. They don't hurry to finish the walk so they can be on to other, more important, duties. They don't worry whether there will be kibble in the bowl when they get home; they just know that the Universe (at present in the guise of me) will provide as long as they keep on being true to their real natures.
I wish I was half as good as they are in remembering who I truly am, that what matters is the result of my being and not my doing. But little by little, walk by walk, they remind me to be more like them, beings just being who they are, letting the doing take care of itself. Or, as Neil Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations With God books put it on his website: "Don't get caught up in the thought that your abundance/success will emerge from what you are doing. You'll be running around doing this and doing that... and end up with nothing but a pile of do-do."

Attunement & Autonomic Nervous System
Client may be sitting or lying down. Note that RH refers to the practitioner's receiving hand and GH refers to the giving hand. All steps should be brought to balance, unless otherwise indicated.
- Cervical life-pattern.
- Pineal, Pituitary, Thyroid, and Thymus.
- Relationship between Pineal (RH) and Pituitary (GH). This also brings the radiation into the third ventricle of the brain, where the Pineal, Pituitary and Hypothalamus reside. This area is the connecting place for the endocrine, chakra and nervous systems.
- Relationship between Pituitary (RH) and Medulla Oblongata (GH), which can be found at the bottom of the occiput (external occipital crest).
- Relationship between Pituitary (RH) and Solar Plexus (GH), located at the Xiphoid Process (lower end of the breastbone).
- Relationship between Pituitary (RH) and Sacral Plexus (GH) located just below the belly button.
- Relationship between Medulla Oblongata (RH) and Sacral Plexus (GH).
- Bring the GH to the RH on the Medulla Oblongata (still at the external occipital crest). Hold until there is a steady connection in the current between both hands.
- Relationship between Medulla Oblongata (GH) and Sacrum (RH) at the bottom of spine. Once balanced, slowly move GH down to receiving hand and then slowly return GH to the top of the spine, clearing any blockages you find. This may be repeated a couple of times, until there is a clear, solid balance in the flow of Attunement radiation.
- Relationship between Sacrum (RH) and a point just above the crown (GH).
- Cervical life-pattern
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) keeps the physical body functioning without the need for conscious control. It is made up of two complementary parts, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. They correlate to yin and yang or positive and negative. The ANS largely works through the spinal cord and the various nerve plexi (solar plexus, etc.) in the body. The endocrine system (Creator energy) and the autonomic nervous system (chakra-creation energy) together provide positive and negative control for our physical form. They work together to keep the body running smoothly. That said, the first priority of the ANS is physical survival of the body.
The sympathetic nervous system component of the ANS is responsible for the "flight or fight" stress response. For example, it regulates the increased rate of breathing, increased muscle tone, dilation of the pupils, and increased blood pressure and heart rate that go with the activation of the stress response. An interesting fact is that the neurotransmitters of the sympathetic nervous system are epinephrine and norepinephrine. These substances are also two of the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. The sympathetic nervous system can be viewed as the achievement part of the ANS.
The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, is responsible for keeping the "home fi res burning," so-to-speak. For example, it slows the heart rate and activates digestion. It helps the body to come to rest, stillness, and peace. The parasympathetic nervous system is all about housekeeping, providing a setting where Being may be known.
Attunement extended to and through the autonomic nervous system can help mitigate stress, trauma, anxiety, a sense of malaise or melancholy, and that overall feeling of being out of sync with life. The technique offered in the side box is simple. It is also quite powerful in extending coherence to a disjointed and jarred nervous system.
