Coincidence or Synchronicity

Everything happens for a reason, including the synchronicities that support your life.

If you believe that everything happens for a reason, you may have already figured out that there are no coincidences.

The Infinite Intelligence around us is orchestrating events and situations for our benefit. Whether the situation is preferred or not, you still believe that it is occurring as a demonstration of life happening through you.

Coincidence or Synchronicity

Some of the events that occur some say are coincidences, which translate to a casual connection coinciding with another person or circumstance. I and others who believe in a higher power believe these are synchronicities devised for our growth and support.

In my book Living Your Intuitive Genius, How to Tap Into Your Soul to Heal Your Body, Mind, and Spirit, I dedicate a chapter to Deciding to Grow since I believe this is a way you can have more synchronized events occur in your life.

Deciding to Grow

When you decide that what life offers (the situations) is part of your evolution, your perspective changes about the things that happen in your life.

People that knew me in my twenties will tell you that I used to be self-centered, judgmental, and harsh in my communication. I had a friend who questioned why I behaved that way, leading me to seek change, and I intentionally changed to lead from my heart and less from my head.

While in my mid-thirties, I learned that the power I call God influenced my life and supported it. As I experimented with the Universal Laws, I became more convinced that we, as humans, could communicate with Life’s Higher Intelligence.

Learning to trust and give up control

I also saw the hand of God in things and learned that God/Life was communicating with me. I continued to seek more awareness, but there was a battle in me not wanting to give up control, learning to trust and accept the criticism of people around me whose beliefs are different. It was until my forties that I felt comfortable being open about my beliefs and awareness.

Seeing the miracles

And then, it was as if a curtain opened, and I began to see closely how well-orchestrated situations were happening in my life. I started more conversations with Spirit, asking for signs and assurance that I was on the right path. And so began a spiritual journey that grows daily in practice and understanding.

Commitment or Intention?

Had I not committed, I do not believe I would be the person I am. It seems that God is waiting for your permission to provide more guidance. Or perhaps my intention to grow granted me the awareness of synchronicities in my life.

Each of us can have this communication, and the beautiful thing is that Spirit speaks to each person the language of their understanding. For instance, one of my early teachers taught me to understand nature’s signals.

Connecting with Spirit

In many indigenous cultures, plants, animals, and earthly events are a means to connect with Spirit. In my studies about this, I became more connected with nature; this is the reason that one of my favorite things to do is walk in nature.

I begin every hike to hear the answer to a question. For instance, I felt uneasy before my breast cancer diagnosis, so my husband and I did a silent hike. (The unbelievable experience of this hike is documented on page 215 of my book).

The hike made me understand that the upcoming episode in my life would be spiritual. It allowed me to know that I was going to be just fine, that I was going to experience a nurturing community of care and love. And so it was; I now say that my cancer journey was the most spiritual time in my life.

Releasing Fear

You will trust life more when you commit to growing with Spirit guiding your way. You will be less afraid of what occurs around you and be aware of life’s experiences to discover your higher self.

Saying “Yes” to growth means you are saying yes to more experiences in your life that you would not think possible. For instance, the right people come into your life to open the doors of opportunity for the next phase or life event.

I will not pretend it’s easy or comfortable because it becomes a new reality that you are not used to. You are called to let go of the control that wants to plan and influence situations in your favor.

Alignment to All

You leave behind the thought of making things happen in your favor, and instead, you adopt a way of thinking that looks for the win-win in every situation. In other words, you look for ways that in all you do, there is a benefit for all involved.

You also give up the drama in your life and get more in tune with our human connection. You become aware that we are all one and connected in Spirit. Life looks and feels different.

Everything happens for a reason

Imagine that more of us would do this. The circumstances of today’s world would not be polarizing. I believe you are reading this message for a reason – remember, there are no coincidences.

You are meant to say “Yes” to growth and experiment with how life speaks to you. If this makes you uncomfortable, it is normal. Your mind will want to keep you in familiar ways, yet your heart wants you to grow. It is safe for you to move forward and honor your Spirit.

You will find harmony, calmness, and a knowing within as you align to your spiritual navigation system. It takes rigor to stay in this realm at first because the tendency is to want to go back to your comfort zone of the visible and logical.

Continuing to set intentions for growth and acknowledging synchronicities with gratitude for your journey keeps you focused on your Spiritual path.

Your Willingness is key

I illustrated how my evolution took time. It was not a sudden awakening. And it occurred with my willingness to learn. There was a time when I chose to be dormant in my study. The connection was still there, but I decided not to access it because I was scared to walk to a threshold.

My cancer journey sped things up for me, and as I understand it more, I am not frightened anymore. I am much more comfortable being, speaking, and living it.

With publishing my book, I am less hesitant to talk about it as I do in this blog. We are all on our journey, it is up to us to decide how we want to live our lives, what parts of ourselves we want to nurture, and the legacy we want to leave behind.
