SYNCHRONICITY

In 1983 the rock band The Police released their album titled "Synchronicity." The lyrics to the title track are following. They reveal that the lead singer and writer, Sting, is a believer in meaningful coincidence.

"SYNCHRONICITY I

With one breath, with one flow
You will know
Synchronicity

A sleep trance, a dream dance
A shaped romance
Synchronicity

A connecting principle
Linked to the invisible
Almost imperceptible
Something inexpressible
Science insusceptible
Logic so inflexible
Causally connectable
Yet nothing is invincible

If we share this nightmare
Then we can dream
Spiritus mundi

If you act as you think
The missing link
Synchronicity

We know you, they know me
Extrasensory
Synchronicity

A star fall, a phone call
It joins all
Synchronicity

It's so deep, it's so wide
You're inside
Synchronicity

Effect without cause
Sub-atomic laws, scientific pause
Synchronicity"

In his book, The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden writes, "The Divine Matrix is the web that makes the fabric of the universe. Of the many ways we could define the Divine Matrix, perhaps the simplest is to think of it as being three basic things: (1) the container for the universe to exist within; (2) the bridge between our inner and outer worlds; and (3) the mirror that reflects our everyday thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs."

This matrix that connects all things is important to grasp for understanding the principle of synchronicity. It is as a result of our interconnectedness with each other and the Universe that synchronistic events can occur.

Gregg Braden is a wonderful scientist and spiritualist who has combined his talents to present evidence of the Divine Matrix within the experiments of the scientific community. It is an incredible, mind-altering read and if you haven't checked it out then the Amazon link is below.

I look at synchronicity as a pat on the back from the Universe, as an atta-boy or good-job from my angels and spirit guides. It keeps me in tune with my Inner Being and reflects my daily intentions of joy and peace. When I am feeling low in energy and a synchronicity comes my way I feel loving support and my energy is bolstered immediately.

This comes from having a generally positive outlook on life. I am aware of the Universal Law of Attraction which states that like attracts like so when I am feeling disharmonious I know to ask for help from my guides to shift my energy so that I do not attract what I do not want. It has taken many years to undo the false belief system I inherited as a small child, and now I feel truly blessed and happy each day.

If you desire to improve your life and live synchronistically then read on. The door is open to you and everyone.

If you want to change your life, to improve it, to feel happier and healthier every day, then the first step is to recognize that you are seeking something greater in your life. The second step is to make a commitment to follow through on doing something about it. This is your life and also your choice, nobody else can make your life different, only you can. Change in your life will begin with change from within.

How do you increase synchronicity in your life? Here are a few ideas to get you started. Also, remember that each person's path is unique so do not compare yourself to anyone else. Rather, listen to your inner voice to guide you on your life path.

1. Begin seeking spiritual instruction. It is not important if it is through a video, books, workshop, etc. What is important is that you make the decision to begin and take action. The more you learn the more you will feel your connection to the Divine.

2. Meditate daily. This will quiet your mind and open the space for synchronicity in your life.

3. Treat yourself with loving kindness and listening to your body. Pamper yourself by taking a long bath and add cleansing mineral salts to reduce body tension. Look in the mirror and say, "I love you" to yourself several times a day or more if it feels difficult. Also, when you need to rest then take a break from your routine. Even 5 minutes spent lying down can be helpful.

4. Set a loving intention in the morning when you wake up. Tell yourself something extremely positive, something that makes you feel warm and giggly inside. You might start with saying, "I intend to be loving to myself and others today." Or you might have a specific goal to address, like, "I intend to be confident and smart on my interview."

5. Pray before you to go sleep at night. Include at least one thing that you are thankful for.

6. Eat healthy foods and drink lots of water. This will help to heal your body and bring it into alignment with your spiritual intentions.

7. Exercise regularly. This will also help your body to sustain the higher frequency you intend to become.

8. Laugh, sing, play and dance every day. This not only releases feel-good hormones in your body, it also brings you closer to the Divine Source Energy that you wish to attract more of in your life.

9. Free yourself from addictions in any form. The ego part of your mind distracts you with addictions and your focus and ability to draw synchronicity will multiply once you release them.

10. Ask for help. If you want to make changes and you feel that you are unable then you can consider seeing a therapist who will help you to transform.

If you are still a little confused about what exactly is synchronicity then here is an example:

Two months ago I was watching my son in his taekwondo class when I got an e-mail from my cousin in Florida. He said that he was at the Lexus dealership in Palm Beach, FL and noticed that they had a display case for selling jewelry. He suggested that I look into selling Ishvara Jewelry at my local Lexus dealership. I thought it was a good idea and left it at that.

Then I was driving down a 45 mph road at dusk when I noticed up ahead that there were dark shapes in the middle of the road and cars were stopped with their hazard lights on. I slowed down and saw a man picking up a large, long haired black dog who was hit by a car and obviously injured very badly. I intuitively felt that the dog had already passed to the light and felt sadness because it brought back a childhood memory of when my sweet dog, Ruffy, was hit by a car in front of our home and died on the way to the emergency vet. As tears rolled down my cheeks I turned on the radio for a distraction. When I listened to the lyrics of the song that was playing I realized that it was referring to the old south spiritual song that I'm sure most people have heard, Amazing Grace. In an instant my tears turned to joy as I recognized the synchronicity of the song and it's relevance in my life.

I felt as if I were on cloud 9 when I got home and started cooking dinner. Then I was mega-shocked when the phone rang and it was the local Lexus dealership calling about a promotion! I felt so grateful for the synchronicity and thanked my spirit guides immensely.
