Attune
The Third Gesture of Aim and Remembrance
After you receive the breath, you choose where to place it.
This is the moment of still fullness.
Aimed awareness. The inner compass remembering true north.
To Attune is to bring your focus to what is real, timely, and yours.
It is the held breath between inhale and action.
It is how you remember what matters—without effort, without story.
Attuning is not striving—it’s tuning.
You’re not forcing the mind. You’re quieting the static.
Like adjusting the dial to a clear signal.
Like facing the sun without squinting.
The Shape of Attuning
- Spine upright and receptive
- Breath held gently at the top of the inhale
- Eyes closed or softly focused between the brows
- Mind still, listening for the inner signal
- Feel the spacious pause before movement
This is the moment before the arrow is released.
The instant of still clarity before song begins.
The poised readiness to remember what you are.
Attune draws from:
- Phase 3 of Kriya Yoga: mental concentration at the third eye
- Ganesh Baba’s emphasis on the focused inner flame
- Chögyam Trungpa’s “On the Spot” awareness
- Neem Karoli Baba’s “Remember God”
- Martial arts mindset: Stay with your point
- The tuning of an instrument before the first note
To Attune is to aim your life.
When you attune, your energy stops scattering.
Your voice knows where it’s going.
Your offering becomes coherent.
This is the gesture that makes rhythm conscious.
Attune is the gesture of remembering.
Remember your why.
Remember your breath.
Remember your place in the song.
