We’ve all had those uncanny coincidences at times. You think of someone for the first time in years and then run into her hours later. You hear people say the same seemingly random phrase three times in one day, and that phrase directly relates to a problem you’ve been struggling with. While in Trader Joes you run into the guy you dated several years ago while you both lived on the other side of the country. A friend gives you the same book that your coworker recommended to you the day before.
While at first it’s easy to shrug off such mysterious events as eerie coincidences, they’re far more powerful than many of us realize. These synchronicities are meaningful coincidences that your soul attracts into your life to help you grow and evolve.
Synchronicities are confirmation of your limitless connection with Spirit and the world around you. Imagine each of us has a unique living map of fate and destiny. You have your own unique path and, just like a road map, your path crosses with other paths. The moment of intersection is where coincidence becomes meaningful, and synchronicities are the signs that help guide you to your ultimate destiny. When you pay attention and intuitively take advantage of synchronistic events, life becomes easier and more purposeful.
I share many examples of synchronicities Remembering the Future, but here’s an example of a recent synchronicity in my life. During one week a few months ago, I did readings with three different clients who all had children with the same kind of outer spectrum autism. As you can probably imagine, each client was very frustrated with his/her child’s diagnosis. I’m not very familiar with autism and finished each reading wishing I could offer each of them more guidance about their child. Later in the week, I heard from a popular book editor I’d emailed over a year prior to see if she had space to work with me. She apologized for not getting back to me and said she now had time to take on another client. Just the day before I received her email, I’d decided it was time to hire a new editor and received a message from Spirit to pay attention. As you may remember, I shared this story in my All Creatures Great and Small blog. But, in addition to the synchronicity of hearing from her just as I decided to hire a new editor, during our first conversation she mentioned that she had written an award-winning book about sensory integration disorder, which was just what all three of my clients’ children had been struggling with. Because of that synchronicity, I was able to contact my clients and give them more guidance and solutions.
Exercise:
Synchronicities are happening all the time. You just have to open your eyes and trust. As you notice more synchronicities, more and more will happen in your life. So, this week, I’d like you to start recording synchronicities in a journal. Take note of even small coincidences such as thinking about having a peanut butter sandwich only to discover your coworker eating one an hour later.
And, meditate! Meditation helps you connect with your intuition and, in turn, helps you tap into the All That Is, where synchronicities abound.
What synchronicities have helped guide you on your path? I’d love to hear your stories. Please share them below.
In service and love,
