The word “synchronicity” was coined by Carl Jung, famous Swiss Psychiatrist, to mean “meaningful coincidence.” For example, you need a service and two people mention the same provider, unsolicited, in one day. You’ve been thinking about calling a person and you suddenly see him or her while running errands.
Our lives have a narrative structure, and synchronistic events often reflect turning points and directional arrows in our narrative. They can also indicate that we are in a state of “flow,” and synchronicities have been referred to as the “angel’s way” of speaking with us.
When we are in a challenging place in our lives and without actively seeking support, we may find that help arrives in the form of an accidental sequence of events which occurs exactly as we need in order to assist us in moving through a circumstance or event.
People often report the following synchronicities:
It is common for telephones, addresses, and wrong numbers to crop up in many stories so that individuals may connect.
Synchronistic events are almost always present for two people to meet the first time or an important subsequent time.
It is considered synchronistic when seeming bad luck turns out to have a positive significance.
Sometimes something will delay you, and the delay leads to a more fortunate outcome.
The more obstinate we become about the way we think something “should” be, the more likely synchronicities will come to speak to us.
The kind of child we have is always synchronistic–sometimes making parents confront their own shadows, develop their own strengths, and so on.
Most important, if we pay attention to the meaningful coincidences in our lives, we can question their significance. Are they directional messages, are they action-oriented, are they symbolic?
When an extraordinary, meaningful occurrence has significance for us, we should question how we might let it guide or change our story.
My new eBook, Healing Yourself Through Mind-Body Awareness, offers new insights into the relationship of the body and the mind in terms of disease and healing. Views about the body are explored in an attempt to understand why certain physical issues might present and how the body can be considered an out-picturing of the mind. I share ideas from Eastern philosophy of the body-mind, energy medicine, as well my own interesting ideas from my energy medicine practice of 16 years, both in the U.S. and abroad. The body and health in general are arenas in which we can learn a great deal about ourselves and about the world.

At varying times in our lives, we arrive at a place in our psychological/spiritual development in which we begin to feel that our outer world may not be supporting our inner world, this causes us to pay attention and make changes.
When we reach these junctures, certain feelings may arise:
we may feel unfulfilled or bored;
we may find that we have unrealistic expectations;
we may have an overly negative attitude;
we may feel uninterested in our life situation;
we may have work or family difficulties that were not expected.
It is at these times that we are often ready for change or what has been termed a “rebirth.” Our old compasses may no longer work and the new compass needs to be held differently. It may be a time to revisit our intentions and goals in order to course correct.
Also, throughout our lifetime, we must recognize that things cannot stay the same. Part of life involves change and growth. How else are we to learn?
So we can ask ourselves some questions:
“How might I see or participate in my current circumstances differently?”
“What am I avoiding feeling or doing and how might I embrace this?”
“Am I willing to change, and if so, how?”
“What have I not yet ‘become’ and am I willing to embrace this now?”
What plan might I create for myself and how can I take my first step?”
As we then embrace this time, instead of resisting the feelings and circumstances, we can see it as a twist or turn on life’s path that takes us into new realms that can further our life lessons.
We create our life stories every living moment through our thoughts and perceptions. Did you know that your most powerful internal thoughts are your “I am” statements? So it’s important to be aware of the thoughts we have and to monitor them because your thoughts and beliefs are influencing your behaviors, and in turn creating your life. This short video will help you change your thoughts to create a better life.
While there are many behaviors that my clients have said they wish to unlearn, one in particular stands out the most. This is a behavior that can affect every aspect of your life–personally and professionally. It can become a lifestyle. And you probably know what it is: Procrastination. Watch to learn more!
Life is like a tapestry that can at times seem full of loose threads and knotted yarn, yet at the end of our lives, when we turn this work of art over, we will witness a picture that is perfectly what it needed to be. You see, there is a view that everything that has happened in our lives has occurred for us to learn our specific life lessons—so, periodically, it’s helpful to look at patterns in our experiences to understand better the events that have shaped our lives.
