Synchronicity ~ Life's way of saying, "Yes!"

I simply love the magic of synchronicity! It's Life's way of saying "Yes!" right back to you.

My online dictionary defines synchronicity as: the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernable causal connection.  It's a term coined by one of my life teachers, Carl G. Jung.  (Not my teacher in person, but in spirit and, perhaps in the collective unconscious.)

It seems that Jung saw synchronicity as acausal, meaning that there was no evidence of cause and effect.  I don't see it that way.  Cause and effect is a law of the universe.  Synchronicity is the energetic experience of effect being released without us knowing how the cause brought it about.  We (our minds and/or egos) may not see the relationship between events because we are looking for evidence.  Energy travels beyond our consciousness, beyond our ability to track and chart. 

You can increase the flow and your experiences of synchronicity by being aware of -- and appreciating the ways -- synchronicity appears in your life. It appears in seemingly surprising ways.  With it, you'll gain more insight, guidance and joy, and you may deepen your own sense of belonging and well-being.

Here are two ways I experienced synchronicity just last week.

First, I attended an event with a few hundred people, mostly healers, teachers, coaches.  During a break one day I was talking to a man whom I'd never met.  He asked what I do, and asked how he could help.  Generous, I thought.  I introduced myself, and again he asked how he could help.  I wasn't sure just what to tell him.  I didn't know him, what he did, who he knew. 

Then this man, Nathan, offered to do something for me - for my business.  Tears welled up in my eyes, in part because his generosity and care was sincere.  But what he didn't know is that the very thing he was offering had been suggested to me a few days before during a brainstorming session with my business mentor.

Nathan is not a healer or a coach, he humbly says he's a tech-guy.  He offered to provide me with a very specific service that I had only considered wanting just 48 hours earlier.  And had not spoken to anyone about.

That's an example of how synchronicity works.  It appears as if magicly answering a desire, or providing an answer to a concern.   It is magic.  It's the kind of magic that's happening all the time.  You can enhance and increase your experiences of it too, invite into our awareness, allowing to help inform and direct you.

The second way I experienced this sort of magic was at the same event, produced by Baeth Davis, a  gifted healer and coach.  I had decided only two weeks prior to attend, and wrote an email to Baeth's business manager, Cindy, saying that I'd be there... In my email I wrote: It'll be wonderful to meet you in person.  I can picture the conference room full of amazing, gifted people and Baeth emitting her purpose from the stage.

What I didn't tell Cindy was that my vision of the room included magnificent coral colored drapes behind the stage.  When I walked into the room last Thursday morning, I was delighted to see those beautiful drapes.

I smiled to myself and knew I was just where I wanted to be, and I had evidence in the sight of the coral drapes! 

Trust, listen, act.  Not always in that order - because by now you can see that cause and effect aren't always happening one after the other.  Instead: they flow in circular currents.

When you see it ALWAYS celebrate synchronicity!  Be grateful that life is conspiring to bring your Desire to reality!
