How to Cultivate Synchronicity in Life
Do you repeatedly see the same numbers or hear the same words? Do you dream of someone, then run into them the next day? If so, you’re participating in synchronistic events. Simply put, synchronistic events are meaningful coincidences that seem to be meaningfully related. I consider them opportunities to pay attention and fine-tuning your ability to notice subtleties around you. Synchronistic events are also a way of learning to trust your gut instincts and use them when making decisions for your highest good. Here are a few ways synchronicity has shown up in my life as inspired by my book The Sweetest Thing - easily access the wisdom of your heart.
REPEATING NUMBERS
At first, when you see a number or a number sequence, you may not pay attention. Then, all of a sudden, you’ll notice the sequence again, and again and again. Trust me friends, It usually takes a few times before you’ll pay attention but once you do, you can use the numbers as a way to receive guidance and direction. Pay attention to license plates, clocks (especially digital clocks), street signs, house numbers, phone numbers, television programs and computer screens. I’ve even seen repeating number sequences on my treadmill, on posters and on billboards! Hey, don’t limit yourself as the possibilities are endless! To interpret repeating number sequences, you can use a variety of options but just make sure that whatever method you choose feels right for you. If you don’t like what you read or hear, let it go. Interpretation is individual and is varied so find the method that most resonates with you.
WORDS OR LINES OF SONGS
Have you have heard a song a thousand times but never really listened to the words? Then, one day, the words speak right to your heart? I hear you - this happens to me all the time! When something like this happens, PAY ATTENTION to what’s going on around you. Ask yourself why the words are catching your attention, do they have meaning? What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words? How do they make you feel? Does they make you think of someone special? , Maybe someone you lost? Listen carefully to what goes on around you. You won’t have to ‘try’ to do this, it’ll just happen and will stop you in your tracks.
OPEN BOOKS TO THE PERFECT PAGE
I love this one! Opening books to the perfect page so you read exactly what you need at that moment in time can be an extension of the concept of hearing words that you need to hear when you need to hear them discussed above. If you have an inspirational book you love, ask for a message, close your eyes and open the book to whatever page you like. Then, read the words that are on that page. Do they have meaning to you? Do they offer some guidance to a question you have? Could they be loving words that you needed to hear? Be curious. It’s amazing how appropriate the messages are when you let go of trying to understand and just trust your inner wisdom to give you the answers you need.
UNPLANNED PHONE CALLS OR VISITS
Let’s face it, we’ve all had the experience of meeting someone and exclaiming, “Oh, I was just thinking about you the other day!” Well, it’s just another way that synchronicity can show up in your life. Is it that the person shows up because you were thinking or talking about them or is it that you knew you were going to see that person and started thinking or talking of him or her? There’s no clear answer here, but, consider that it could be a sign that you’re starting to align with your highest intention. Don’t look for encounters to justify your thoughts, but instead, allow an organic flow of energy into your experience, and, examine your encounters with genuine curiosity.
