by Erin Rivers – Mission, KS « contact Erin » While driving the other day, I was listening to a radio program where the speaker, a young woman, was talking about her experience with her husband being either deathly ill or in fact passing away and her dealing with a physical ailment that had subsequently been diagnosed as a chronic, life-long condition.

Buddhism also teaches the value of embracing the pain, sadness, et

by Sharon Divine, Prairie Village, KS « contact Sharon »   Four years ago this month, on the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, I participated in the first Women’s March in Washington DC.

I’ll admit, it took time for me to accept the election outcome. I brought it into my daily Attunement sessions, working first with my life-pattern, then with

by Vicki Barbour, Erie Colorado « contact Vicki »   The Winter Solstice has always been a turning point in the cycle of light. And it’s a time of hearts opening, a portal. In my hospice training, it’s also a time of more deaths occurring. So far, here in the US, we have had 300,000 deaths due to COVID-19 and in the world a total of 1.7 million. How many more will join them? But what else is happening on a far grander scale? Jupiter and Saturn are the closest where they could be seen in the nighttime sky in

by Andrew Shier, Hancock, NH « contact Andrew »   Having had the privilege of remembering the art of Attunement, we know to some extent how to live in a Flow. Over the years and particularly in recent days, we have let go and let go again, to finally arrive in an ecstatic space of quiet within. Waves of insight and inspiration gain our attention here. I hear “now is the time.” For instance, I witness many of my friends moving geographically from homes and areas where they have lived for many years. My daughter is moving from her home

by Erin Rivers – Mission, KS « contact Erin »   After the recent Kansas City Attunement Session Zoom call where Donna Jorgensen presented the message from White Eagle, a Hopi Indigenous, I spent some time thinking about and holding in Attunement, my students. I teach high school in a Kansas City suburb. We speak of hope a lot in high school, and what we can accomplish, but very little prepared me for the scope of what Covid-19 would ask for – both from me and from the community which I serve. We began the school year remotely. I was
