Attunement
Attunement is the deliberate act of tuning yourself, like an instrument, to a higher source or a chosen state before you act. Where alignment names the condition, attunement names the practice of entering it: the morning pause to gather with the life force, the healer's settling before laying on hands, the magician's vibration of the centres of light. In Reiki the word carries a sacred weight, the passing of an opening from teacher to student so that the universal life energy may flow through unobstructed. To attune is to make oneself a clear channel.

The traditions counsel attunement before action as the wisest first move. Pause, breathe, and align intention with the deeper current; only then proceed. This is how the seeker keeps from being swept along by reactive states, and how the work of the day is lifted out of mere effort into grace. A few quiet minutes of attunement reorder everything that follows.
