S2 E7: How to attune to your inner life and why it matters for your growth and healing

This week we dive into the topic of: attunement. How do we tune in to our inner life and why is that important? 

Attunement is important for our inner development because to grow and transform we must follow the ubiquitous precept: “know thyself.” And how can we know ourselves if we are not tuned in to our inner world, specifically our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. 

Attunement is something that we should experience as children from our caretakers and their attunement to our needs and experience. Sadly, this is often not the case. And while we don’t encourage blame or judgment to ourselves, our parents or our ancestors, we do take responsibility for learning how to attune to ourselves if we didn’t learn this process via osmosis from our parents. 

Louisa and Rachel get into some practical strategies for attuning to your inner life. Not to become self-centered or self-absorbed, but to better know what you need and what needs healing.
