I want to know more about this book you are working on, how's it coming? When can we order it?
Couldn't help think about the band, the how, song, "Getting in Tune" while reading this. Sounds like a great process to run, get in tune with the universe, or universes.
Hello JK,
are you refering to my previous post?
I am not really working on a book about attunment.
At that time I wrote the post I had shortly before spent some time defining the word. It opened some insights for me.
In essence being in tune is what it says. In tune or out of tune. And it can be applied in many areas. You could be in tune with a tool, like a brush, it would become second nature, like an extension of yourself, and you wouldn't have any attention on "how" it works or how to use it. This allows for flow, high green zone performance.
Similarly if you are in sports, you could be fully in tune with your physical body, such that you don't need to second guess its capacities and at the same time you can observe how much you can push it forward.
(Ask Roger, he was in sports, a Gold Medalist in Australia.
)
Being in tune is a green zone performance. If you spot that you are not in tune (but should), for example with a machine, you can work toward improved attunement. Getting familiar with the equipment, getting to know it better, physically reaching towards and withdrawing from the machine/tool/equipment.
Sometimes you need a pause from a certain task, losing attention. Then you can make the pause and do something else for a while and then come back. As an example, Leonardo daVinci worked on several art pieces simultanously. In several locations. When he came back he could look at the piece with "fresh eyes" re-aligning his vision and skills.
Attunement is important for every performance. Be it with people, machines, creative work.
In case you didn't refer to my previous post, still thank you for prompting me to revisit this term and concept.
It was a joy to contemplate it one more time.
EDIT: oh, now I see, Roger mentioned his book in the opening post. That's what you are refering to.
I was a bit confused about whom you are refering to because you also mentioned "Getting in Tune"
.
Best regards,
Christian
