Synchronicity
There exists a divine, flowing power in your life that can open you up to your greatest fulfillment. When synchronicity happens, it is a sign that you are acting in harmony with this universal energy, and you can learn how to become more attuned and use it to manifest and enhance your experiences and relationships.
Synchronicity:
Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in the theory of Carl Jung as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality.Coincidence:
The purposeful occurrence of two seemingly unrelated events.
The universe is said to be a flowing matrix of consciousness interconnecting everything as one. This natural flow works toward balance, harmony and wholeness of being, and affects all aspects of our existence. By observing it in our world around us, we can allow the ever-present flow to guide us naturally and effortlessly away from struggle and fear by responding to the direction it's pointing us in. These indications are known as meaningful coincidences, or synchronicity. This term was coined by Carl Jung as an explanation for coincidental happenings and fortuitous events that act as a coming together of our inner and outer worlds that ultimately impacts us in a way that allows us to feel we are a part of the greater whole of the universe.
When you see synchronicity happen in your life, it is a sign that you are headed in a direction that works for you in fulfilling your goals. My most significant coincidence occurred many years ago when I picked out a dog named Zoey from the local humane society, after feeling strangely driven to search many weeks for the right dog for our family. Being one to put a great deal of time and consideration into every choice I make, I put a hold on Zoey so I could think over my decision to bring her home, even though I instantly fell in love her.
When I arrived home and walked through my front door I noticed the phone ringing. It was the owner of a company to which I had recently submitted a resume; she was requesting an interview with me. The woman told me during our telephone conversation that the name of her company was "Zoe." Right then I knew I had the job and that the dog I picked out was the one for us. The job turned out to be extremely satisfying for me for 12 years, and the dog continued to be a beloved family pet for 11 years.
Everyone experiences the power of flow whether they realize it or not. It's simply a matter of becoming aware of the circumstances that mark its presence in both the profound and the mundane. To begin utilizing synchronicity, become more aware of what is happening around you. Listen to the words of songs, what people are saying to you, even minute details such as names, colors and numbers. Listen to your intuition, your first gut feeling. Become aware of who comes into your life and what they have to offer. I even utilize synchronicity to determine what route to take to get home, usually following the green lights to follow the easiest, trouble-free path to my destination.
There are several ways to increase the occurrence of synchronistic events. The most powerful technique you can use is to become more attuned with the divine flow during meditation. When you reach an altered state of consciousness, imagine yourself connecting with and feeling the power of this flow. It is at this time that you'll want to practice creative visualization to bring to yourself those manifestations you are attracting into your life. Become aware of and amplify your positive emotions associated with your manifestions for even more powerful attraction.
Synchronicity is also enhanced by practicing such methods as conscious intent and journaling. In effect, you must tell the Universe what direction to take you in by utilizing the described methods, and trust that they will be brought about when the time is right and all positive things fall into alignment. What I have discovered is that it is more productive to focus on the essence or quality of what you want to bring into your life; e.g., it is more beneficial to focus on qualities such as abundance, joy, and security, than concentrating on specific items, jobs, or locations, which tends to be more limiting. The more broadly worded the intent, the more opportunities and options can be brought your way for fulfillment. Why instruct the Universe to limit your options when you can possibly have even more than you requested?
You know you are in the flow when struggle disappears, events fall into place naturally and easily, and you appear to be in the right place at the right time. Doors to fortuitous opportunities seem to open without effort. People come into your life that offer exactly what you need.
Heightened awareness and acceptance of the flow allows you to be more relaxed, patient, and free from anxiety while you're waiting for your goals to come to pass, because you then understand there is a perfect timing to things. You are able to patiently wait for the signs (synchronicity) to appear, to indicate the easier path to reach your objectives.
When you feel the need to push things, you need to pause and let things happen naturally--realize it takes time for the Universe to put things into place, and that usually the longer you wait the better the outcome. Or perhaps you need to go in another direction when you encounter struggles to reach your goal. Something even better may be manifesting, and synchronicity is showing you the way to get there to reach that goal.
Using synchronicity successfully means adhering to certain qualities to improve and expand the flow in your life. Staying committed to your intentions with perseverance is critical in making things happen, along with maintaining total faith that the universal flow is at work to bring them about. The more you work toward accessing the power of universal flow through synchronicity, the more it will respond in bringing you higher levels of joy, ease, and greater wholeness.
