Core Values Attunement

Core values attunement is an energetic process of activating your core frequencies.

We are using core values not only to understand who you are, what you stand for, and what you want to create - but to become aware that these things have energetic frequency.

These frequencies are you. They resonate with you because they are what you bring to the world. Awareness of these frequencies will allow you to navigate any situation with dignity, grace and direct authentic action.

We can go very many places with this process. This is a beginning of the deepening into your authenticity. A deepening into your self-knowing and awareness of what you are able to do with your energy. They are compass points - your compass points.

Understanding this process will also allow you to use your intention in new and varied ways. You may begin to use this as a leadership tool, a manifestation tool or simply an navigation tool. You may find yourself questioning, disrupting and realigning to your core frequencies as you move through various arenas of life. You may make art with them, use them as mantras or use them as foundations of your relationships or creations. The possibilities are many, but we will start by locating them.

Instructions

1. Print out the Core Values List and start to mark (circle or dot) every word that resonates with you.

Circle what resonates

2. Now move back through your words and put a new mark, narrow the focus of your list a bit more. The first time was a rough draft, now you are becoming more aware of what is resonating and why. Drop any that don’t feel quite right.

Go back and circle what really resonates.

This is where you might want to use different colours, for different passes. You want to be able to see the evolution of your list from rough draft —> focused list choosing the words that are most important to you. Continue to try to whittle the list down by half, until you have about 20-25 words (it may take 3-4 passes).

3. Take those 20-25 words and write them down on a new sheet of paper.

Now, write them on a new piece of paper.

Observe them.
I want you to start to focus in on each word and begin to see how it feels to you. See how each value holds other information, and stirs your internal world. Notice how some feel more aligned. Seek the essence within these values and notice which are most true. You will notice a core group of 4-10 that are most important and resonate most strongly. The other values will support this core group.

4. Put each of these core words onto the top of the page, and create a sub-category list where the other values will live.

- create a sub-category list

Notice the energies or ideas that are contained by this value. Think of each value as a whole, where the supportive parts clarify and flavour the expression of the core value, and your particular understanding of it’s energy.

5. Engage with the words over several days. Create time and space to explore these values. Bring them into your life, art and divination practices. Carry them in your pocket. Write them in your journal. Notice how they are aligned with strengths and abilities you already have as well as dreams of who you want to be. Some of them may contain information you don’t understand or can’t explain yet, but you know is correct for you. That’s okay. Make room for what surprises you here. Remember it’s a subjective experience, not an objective one. Follow your energy.

Notice where you are seeing, feeling and recognizing values that were aligned in the past, or values that were part of other peoples worlds and rules. You may want to list or move these onto a separate space - make some notes about what past narratives these ones relate to, and how they have changed. Make space in this process to be surprised and be curious.

6. The rest of this process takes place over time. This can be used as foundational work for any project or new phase of life. This is a self-locating tool, which we will use in other parts of our work together, and to guide you through the process of rebirth and creation.


You are beginning to understand how to direct your energy with intention and clarity. Congratulations!
