The five fundamental attunements are an essential part
of spiritual ministry in different spiritual groups. They are attunements
with the 1) Physical, 2) Etheric, 3) Emotional (Astral), 4) Mental and
5) Volitional octaves of the personality. These attunements are done differently
by the Mudrashram® Tradition for the first four octaves than ministry
of Christian or Western Esoteric groups. Moreover, it may be noted that
the Christian and Western Esoteric groups introduce a wide variety of
attunements for the mental and emotional octaves. These ministerial variants
for attunement are shown below:

faith, pride), 2) Ego (purification of negative attitudes), 3)
Memory center, Subconscious Mind (reliving and release of life
issues through confession and repentance), 4) Core of emotional
pain in the personal unconscious, 5) Thalamic center of the astral
body (visions of heavenly realms, inspiration, activation of psychic
powers), 6) Commitment center of the Desire Body in the Metaconscious
Mind (public confession of faith, taking sacred vows), 7) Spirit
of the third path (inspiring devotion, prayer and worship).

In each case, this attunement is sent from an anointed
disciple or initiate to the attentional principle of the individual doing
the attunement. The individual doing the attunement is directed to send
this Light to discrete focal points in the five bodies of the individuals
receiving ministry.
Which focal points are selected for attunement is a
function of the teachings of the group. For example, at the emotional
octave, prosperity-oriented teachings activate the feeling center of the
Conscious Mind. Groups emphasizing righteousness and character reformation
may focus on ministry to the ego. Those groups that underscore evangelism
may send the Light to the memory center in order to evoke memories of
shameful actions and bring the conviction of sin. This may in turn be
coupled with an attunement with the Desire body, leading the individual
to make a public conviction of faith. The core of emotional pain is used
to grant comfort, forgiveness and unburdening of the heart. Psychic Realm
teachings may activate the astral eye or awaken the spirit.
When attending services in which the minister or clergy
person invokes the Divine through prayer and during which you sense the
ministry of the Spirit: observe which bodies and octaves are infused in
you by this ministry. This will give you a clue as to how those who are
sending through the Light are making attunements with you.
In time, you will learn how to make each of these attunements
and to differentiate their actions on those to whom you minister. Primary
to being able to do these ministerial attunements is to find a disciple
or Initiate who is teaching others how to do them. For example, the Reiki
School of healing is well known for teaching how to make a healing attunement
with others.
We teach the five fundamental attunements in our Agni
Yoga/Attunement meditation workshop, and participants in our Light Sittings
are also trained in their use during the teaching portion of these sessions.
We encourage you to minister the Light and make these attunements. They
are fundamental to your disciplic preparation and will allow you to participate
in working with the Great White Brotherhood in uplifting and ennobling
humanity.
