About Energetic Attunements
WordPress Version
An energetic attunement is a dose of energy that attaches to someoneās energy system and causes certain effects. Usually this changes the structure of the recipient's energy system to allow them to control and use the attuned energy more effectively, and can even cause them to produce the energy. This then changes their energy alignment to include the energy. But to what degree this occurs depends on the method of attunement, strength of the attunement, and many other factors.
In simple words, an attunement means big changes in someone's energy.
Here are some frequently asked questions concerning attunements.
What types of energy can someone become attuned to?
Attunement can happen with any form of energy.
It can be spiritual energy: becoming attuned to a specific species or group of spirits, such as fae, angels, etc.
Or it could be energy of a specific environment, such as oceanic energy, or forest energy, etc.
It could also be a specific element of energy, for example such as specifically fire energy, reiki, or void energy.
Passive versus Active Attunements
Passive Attunements are when someone's energy system adapts to an energy through constant, consistent, exposure. For example, many mages who live near the ocean would end up having a passive ocean attunement. They will have a notable amount of ocean energy in their energy system, and it will be a part of their energy alignment. This attunement is possible for all types of energy listed above.
Active Attunements are when there was an intentional change to an energy system, usually through a ritual, initiation, or purposeful energy work. One example is the reiki initiation; in this, the recipient receives a connection to reiki, passed down by a master.
How long can attunements last?
How long an attunement lasts varies based on the method of attunement.
Some attunements are meant to be Permanent. This type of attunement is meant to last as long as the recipient is alive. Particularly powerful ones may carry over multiple lifetimes.
These are usually done by forging a connection to an infinite energy source, such that the recipient constantly receives and channels the energy. I have called this "energy opening" or, more bluntly, "making a new source connection."
Other attunements are temporary. Most attunements fall into this category; this type of attunement needs refreshment once in a while. All passive attunement would fall into this category
Possible Benefits of Attunements:
Awaken a New Skill: This attunement adds an entire new skill to the recipient. Think of it like an āunlocked ability/skillā in a video game. For example, the reiki attunement unlocks the ability to effectively channel reiki. Another example is the initiation into the sphere of Luna, in the Abrahamic ceremonial practice of the planetary spheres. This initiation fuses the energy of the moon with the practitioner, which then helps them to manifest effects with magic more, and perceive spirits more easily.
Passive enchantment: This attunement benefits the recipient passively, causing the purpose of the attunement to manifest more easily/often/etc. This is a constant effect, and is usually done through minor spells, energy interweaving, or sigil tattoos.
Spirit Allies: Being attuned to a certain spiritual group's energy will often make others of that group friendlier to you. Because they can sense you have much of their group's energy in you, they know you are more likely to be a potential ally.
Become Like an Element: Elements frequently have personality associations. Rituals where one attempts to embody or become closer to an element are very common in folklore. For example, rituals in which one invokes the sun are often meant to make someone kingly, jolly, and wise.
