Synchronicity’s Message
Frequently I am the benefactor of synchronicity. Sometimes things align in ways that take my breath away and other times in ways that make me laugh out loud! I like to think of synchronicity as the Higher Good’s way of sending me (and you!) a message we need to hear. Our only job is being open to seeing, hearing, experiencing the synchronicities sent our way. Even though this is our only job, sometimes it’s quite a task! When our Conditioned Self rears up to negate those experiences, when we’re running way too fast through life to really pay attention to the synchronicity, when we don’t like what we notice and choose to ignore it, taking the lessons we’re being offered becomes less likely to occur.
How do those messages come to us? It can be anything from a bumper sticker we see, to a song on the radio, to overhearing someone’s comment, to a billboard, to the repeated presentation of the same message to us in a variety of ways. The methods of the Universe communicating with us are unlimited! A few examples here may be helpful: I had a client who was trying to decide whether to stay in her marriage of many decades or leave for a person she met over the Internet who lived in another state. During her session, she waffled back and forth, trying to decide. I suggested she try a little technique I’d learned in which you ask the Universe a question or for guidance on an issue, then pay attention to the next 3 things that grab you. She wasn’t 20 minutes out of her session when I had a phone message in which she remarked “I’m driving down the highway on my way home and there’s this billboard that says Live, Work, and Play in Wisconsin!” We both laughed.
Another example was a client who tried the technique for verification that she was heading in the right direction in some recent changes she’d made in her life. As she was driving along, she said out loud, “Ok, God, give me a sign!” At that moment, the clouds on a very cloudy, rainy day parted and the sun shone through! Cheesy, but effective!!
A third example was a lecture I attended years ago on Hilton Head Island following a health-related scare and facing surgery when I returned from that trip. The presenter for this particular talk was a healer who looked around the room of roughly 200 people and remarked “I think we need a healing on the beach tonight!” He went on to explain; however, that, while he was present, his luggage was not, so he did not have access to a lot of the healing tools he typically used. He stated he didn’t have his drums and someone in the audience hollered “I have drums”. He indicated he didn’t have sage and another person offered that he had sage. In the end, all that was necessary for the ceremony was present and much healing took place that wonderful night. So much so that when I returned home, I insisted my doctor redo the tests that had led him to determine I needed surgery. He was baffled (I was not) when the issue had significantly reversed itself upon the second examination.
Sometimes people are concerned they’ll miss the guidance they’ve asked to receive. I reassure them that the Universe has a way of amping up the message if we don’t get it the first time! I think oftentimes accidents, injuries, health crises, and the like are actually ways our attention is being sought when we haven’t caught on to the more subtle messages. How helpful to reframe these events in this way to make use of them as we grow!
So, if you find yourself struggling with making a decision on something or waffling on a decision you’ve already made, try asking for Divine Guidance, then pay attention to whatever you notice. And I’d LOVE for you to share here your experiences with this because your story may help others clarify their paths, too. I think it’s heartening when we struggle with something to hear from others who’ve experienced similar difficulties and worked through them.
May the synchronicity be with you!
