The universe, including your angels, guides, ascended masters, other higher helpers, as well as loved ones on the other side, are always talking to you, guiding you and directing you. You were never meant to walk through this life alone — and you don’t. The primary way the universe speaks with us is through signs and synchronicity.
What Is Synchronicity And How Does It Show Up?
The definition of synchronicity is two or more events or circumstances that occur in your life and are meaningfully related or connected in some way. These occurrences don’t have to be exactly simultaneous in time. They can occur in the same day, same week, or even months and years apart. However, there is always some type of meaningful coincidence or connection involved.
The universe uses synchronicity and synchronistic events to communicate with us, and knowing about these can help a person spot the guidance coming through.
PROVIDING REASSURANCE. The universe will use synchronicity to let us know we are on the right track, or that something we might be thinking about doing is actually a good idea. This shows up as repetition. For example, if you are thinking about joining a yoga studio and then suddenly a postcard shows up on your car, and then a week later a friend calls to say she joined that new yoga studio, the universe is very likely encouraging you to start yoga, as it keeps bringing it into your awareness.
WAKING YOU UP TO SOMETHING NEW. The universe also uses repetition to wake you up to something you might not be already be aware of at the time. This could be the name of a book, a certain doctor, a type of therapy, or how green juice might help a particular health issue. It will continue to put whatever it is in front of you and bring it into your awareness so that you will act on it.
GUIDING OR LEADING YOU SOMEWHERE. This type of synchronicity is often seen when looking back at your life and connecting the dots between circumstances or events. The universe is always setting things up to move you toward your highest good. It is lining up the right people, opportunities and resources to guide you forward, and will even re-route if needed.
For example, you might get invited to a friend’s birthday party and meet someone new there, who shares your love for art. You and this new friend decide to go to a painting class together, and after spending some time with one another, you eventually meet their brother, who later becomes your husband. That synchronicity started with the invite to the party, the chance encounter with the new friend, and eventually leads you to your significant other.
No Coincidences
The word “coincidence” alludes to the fact that something is not planned, but it seems as if it was because it’s perfect timing. That is because there is a plan, and the universe is usually behind it. Swiss psychologist and psychotherapist Carl Jung was the first person to use the word synchronicity, and he said, “In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” This means what looks like random events and chaos actually has cosmos or the universe behind it.
When you realize the universe is always guiding you, that there are no accidents or coincidences — only events and situations you have not yet discovered the meaning for — you begin to feel less alone. When you take a minute to look back and connect the dots in your life showing that everything, both good and bad, often led you somewhere important and meaningful, then life becomes a bit easier. With this knowledge, when something goes seemingly “wrong” in the future, you can remember that everything happening in your life is leading you to your highest good because you have found that proof in your own life. Even in pain, there is often deeper meaning. It’s just not always clear while it’s happening to us.
Find Your Proof
We all have proof of synchronicity and the universe guiding us in our own lives, and we can find it when we start looking back into the past. I recommend making a timeline of your life, noting all the major events: A birth, death, going to college, graduation, meeting someone, starting a new job, leaving a job, moving somewhere new and more.
Once you have the timeline you can start connecting to dots using a process I call “Follow the Footsteps.” Start with one event and ask the following questions:
Why was this event or person significant in my life?
How did I meet this person, or what who led to this event happening?
What had to happen before this in order for it to occur?
Where did meeting this person or experiencing this event lead me next?
What might not have happened if you didn’t meet this person or experience this event?
What did this person or this event teach you or help you understand?
It was through this exercise I discovered how six months before my mother died, a friend of my sister brought a book by medium George Anderson to my parent’s house, and we all discussed how he could speak with those who had passed on. My mother knew about him before she died because of this conversation, and when she did pass it seemed George Anderson was everywhere we looked. We saw him on television, heard him on the radio, and he even did an event in the area we lived. We eventually booked an appointment with him. This was not a coincidence. This was the universe setting up events that would lead us to a life-changing session with George Anderson who would bring my mother through after she passed on.
The universe is always talking to you. It is always guiding you. It is always sending signs and synchronicities to direct you to your highest good. When you can begin noticing and uncovering these communications, you can begin to develop a deeper relationship with it and all your higher helpers, and move through life with more confidence, ease and knowing.
