Have you ever experienced a series of coincidences that don’t feel like coincidences anymore? A coincidence is an occurrence of events by mere chance. In a way, a coincidence is sort of magical because it happened by chance. But what if it is no longer just one or two or three but a series of coincidences that are happening in your life? Yes, it does not only happen in the movies, it can happen in real life too. Well, in spirituality, there is a term to all these coincidences – and it is called synchronicity. And synchronicity is a sign that you are on the right track in life. If you are still searching, you can find the right path through synchronicity.
What is Synchronicity
Carl Gustav Jung, founder of analytical psychology defines synchronicity as the simultaneous occurrence of two events that are not causally related. For him, there is more than meets the eye in this world. There are forces out there that are trying to communicate to us and guiding us. It is something similar to how Santiago, the protagonist of Paulo Coelho’s novel The Alchemist followed the signs of the Universe. There are many ways on how the universe sends us messages. But for Jung, synchronicity holds the key to our lives and destiny here on earth.
How to Identify Synchronicity
If you are on the right track and are open and mindful of the things happening around you, it is easy to identify the synchronicities in your life. In short, synchronicity is all around us. It is just that most people are so focus on the things that are wrong in their lives that they fail to notice the little things around them.
For example, out of nowhere you suddenly remember a friend whom you have not seen for a long time. Then, you heard an old song that was popular during the days that you were with this friend on the radio. After which you met a common friend with that old friend. These are examples of synchronicity. In these sample scenarios, maybe the universe is telling you to get in touch with that friend.
Another example is seeing the same sequence of numbers over and over again. Chances are those numbers especially if they are repeating numbers are angel numbers. This is one of the ways on how your guardian angels send you messages.
The feeling of deja vu or a friend whom you have been thinking about suddenly calls you; those are all examples of synchronicities.
Synchronicities can either be internal meaning through your intuition or external. External means coming from outside forces like your spirit guides or guarding angels. Unless you have a gift of hearing them directly; synchronicities often come as signs.
More often than not, synchronicities are positive events. However, there are times in which they are not. When they are negative, it is probably the universe warning you that that is not the path that you are supposed to take.
Synchronicity is an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see.
– Carl Jung
In short, synchronicity is everywhere. We just need to be aware of them. The good news is that according to Carl Jung, anyone can actually heightened their awareness in identifying synchronicities in life. So, it’s really up to the individual. By being aware and following the signs in your life, you will find yourself meeting the right people in the right place, at the tight time in the ideal circumstances. And soon you will feel that you are on the right track.
