Synchronicity is Your Ultimate Guide
“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.”
~Deepak Chopra (Synchrodestiny: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence to Create Miracles)
Well, the dictionary states that it is the occurrence of events and especially psychic events (as similar thoughts in widely separated persons or a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens) that seem related but are not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality.
In laymen’s terms, it is simply being in the right place at the right time to receive the right information. Now, why is this important — surely these kinds of events are just coincidences?
Defining Coincidence
Let’s break this word down to better understand it. ‘Co’ means mutual and, of course, ‘incident’ means an event or occurrence. Coincidence is pretty much a dead ringer for synchronicity but why do most people ‘brush’ things of as mere coincidence when, in fact, both coincidence and it’s relative – synchronicity – are profound states of universal flow?
When we are young, magic surrounds us — life is the biggest trip ever! Sadly, as we become adults, we lose that awe for the mysterious and start putting things down to chance or luck and we start to give a rather cynical meaning to a beautiful word: co-incidence.
Should You Read More into Coincidence?
Yes! The statistics of you being at that ‘right place at the right time’ are phenomenally low, so when they occur it is in your best interest to take very serious note of the message behind the encounter. Then act on it.
“All of us, whether or not we are warriors, have a cubic centimeter of chance that pops out in front of our eyes from time to time. The difference between an average man and a warrior is that the warrior is aware of this, and one of his tasks is to be alert, deliberately waiting, so that when his cubic centimeter pops out he has the necessary speed, the prowess, to pick it up.”
~Carlos Castanada
For example:
You have been thinking of an old childhood friend, even possibly been dreaming of them. Then one day, at the supermarket, your trolley collides with another trolley. You look up to apologize and there is the friend you’ve been thinking of.
So What Does it all Mean?
All meaning could be different according to personal circumstances but let’s take a few possible meanings:
The meanings may differ but the little gems that pop up as ‘coincidences’ are rarely of no use. Sometimes we have to pan for gold. It can take days to recognize that little nugget of truth that was meant for you in the synchronous event that took place.
Flex That Synchronous Muscle!
The good news is, the more aware you are of synchronicity and how it breezes in and out of your life to steer you to your greater good, the more you’ll start unraveling the unique tapestry of your life and destiny. This is why Deepak Chopra refers to this phenomenon as ‘Synchrodestiny’.
When you learn to use synchronicity, you’ll start to follow the breadcrumbs to fulfilling your dreams. Be careful of shrugging events off as mere coincidence because that’s exactly what they’ll become. Take joy in uncovering the pearls of wisdom in these packages.
The Fury at Being Robbed Blind!
Don’t forget to pin it!
Let me give you an example of a huge shift that took place recently in my life thanks to allowing synchronicity to work for me.
I recently had my bank account hacked into and a vast sum of money stolen over a period of 2 days. It was a red-tape nightmare but I eventually got refunded by the bank.
Just last month, the same thing happened with an account I have at a different bank — thankfully, a smaller amount was stolen but the same principle had occurred. I started to get metaphysically suspicious. What was the universe trying to tell me?
Sometimes synchronicity isn’t as pleasant as having a catch-up cuppa with an old friend — it can come as an earthquake to rattle your cage of complacency.
Figuring Out the Puzzle
Suffice to say, I don’t believe in mere coincidence in the dull sense of the word — everything happens for a reason.
I started to pick this puzzle apart. What I found stunned me.
I realized that I had a tremendous ‘painbody’ (a phrase coined by Eckhart Tolle to describe a collective energy within the self that feeds of the pain of a certain incident(s) and affects us subliminally) around money.
I am good at accumulating lump sums but then proceed to either spend, lose or give it away bypassing any form of financial literacy or sustainable income.
The Puzzle Goes Quantum!
A friend of mine also pointed out that money is just energy. If I was having large sums of this ‘energy’ stolen from me it could also be a reflection of my personal life.
She was right. I was also giving away my energy (in the form of attention, in this case) to something that did not serve me.
I started hauling in all this valuable information to analyze. Synchronously, my neighbor gave me a book to read, called ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki, which I devoured. It was as if it was written just for me!
I started to implement some of my findings and got immediate feedback from the universe.
Within days of me making a conscious shift about my attitude towards money, someone accidentally put a large sum of money into my bank account.
Even though, a week later, the sum of money was reversed — my situation had changed! Instead of people taking money out, they were putting it in! That was my confirmation that I had truly shifted my perspective and that things were on a new track.
But You Never Kept the Money!
Books by this author…
In both instances (whether having the money purposefully stolen or accidentally given), a message was being delivered. I always had the money reimbursed by the bank in the case of the theft and my account returned to normal in the case of the deposit. So there was no physical gain of money but the metaphysical message was received.
The message delivered was that there was a problem with my mental attitude towards money and the message was received and acknowledged by the shift in physical occurrence — one could say a wink from the universe.
If I didn’t realize that my money being stolen was no mere coincidence, I would have plodded on feeling like a victim of circumstance instead of seeing the opportunity that was being offered to change my financial attitude.

Meaningful Coincidences
“Synchronicity hints at the unified world behind the illusory veil of the material universe” — Roger S. Jones
Synchronous moments usually mark major game changes in our individual timelines.
It could be that moment when you bump into a friend you haven’t seen in years that you just had a dream about. You get talking and she’s the very person you need to collaborate with. You both go on to start an amazing and successful online enterprise.
When you look back at that point in time, you just know that synchronicity bought you together and your dream was a breadcrumb leading you to success. That kind of synchronous moment is a no-brainer — it was Kismet!
Synchronicities are awesome markers and can change your life forever if you don’t brush them off as meaningless.
Seemingly Meaningless Coincidences
Okay, so what about those itty bitty synchronicities? You know the ones…
You trip over your son’s toy T-Rex in the morning. You walk into the supermarket and there’s a big Barney the Dinosaur cut-out as you head in. The soccer mom who’s carpooling today comes to the door wearing a Marc Bolan T-Rex t-shirt and you start to think you’re going crazy.

Tuning into the Radio
I’ve got an amusing personal ‘mini-synch’ story to share with you: I was packaging a painting for a client earlier this week. I decided to put on a bit of Radiohead (who doesn’t like a bit of Brit rock to make the workload more tolerable?).
So, there I was jiving and gyrating about my studio whilst cutting up board and getting packaging tape in my hair.
I got to my laptop screen to get my clients address (which I hadn’t seen yet) and to my utter amazement…he stayed in a place called ‘Radiokop’. Which, yes — you guessed it — directly translated means ‘Radiohead’ in Afrikaans.
I wasn’t even aware that such a suburb existed in Johannesburg but there it was, as bold as brass, and staring at me from my computer screen! I even did a Google search to make sure that there really was place called ‘Radiokop’ and…of course there was!
Okay, so what do I do with this bit of fun but useless information?
Does it mean I’m going to get a visit from Thom Yorke? I don’t think so…I mean I wouldn’t mind — don’t get me wrong — but I don’t think that’s what it means.
What’s Really Going On?
In my most humble opinion (and I have given this topic some strenuous thought), I don’t think anything happens in our lives for no reason.
These little synchronicities could very well be indicators that we are on path.
Think of it like dialing into your best life — the life your over-soul or higher self came here to express and experience. The closer you get to tuning into your appropriate channel the more life will spit out these weird little markers.
They’re not to be taken too literally, I think they are just there to let us know we’re in the timeline we’re supposed to be in — a tiny wink from the Universe.
When we diverge off this ‘preferred’ timeline, I think our propensity for the wee synchronicities will become less…a little like the white noise interference when we are dialing out of a station. But the more we try to stay tuned in, the more these coincidences will light the way for us.
Just a thought.
What do you think? Balderdash or believable?

“Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it’s possible, so why not?” — John Cleese
We all hit junctions — those dreaded forks in the road — at certain epochs of our lives. The thing that frightens us the most is ‘are we making the right choice?’ when we embark on any new venture or life altering choice.
I’m going to discuss how to navigate confidently and without doubt (and without a map — just using your internal GPS) those important life decisions in 3 easy steps. But first let’s look at why we don’t need maps, books, guru’s or anything else outside ourselves to soldier on in this blossoming age of Aquarius.
What is Heart-Centered Living Really About?
The pivotal ethos to living in this new era or paradigm is to be focused on heart-guidance.
What is heart-guidance?
It’s not some wishy-washy glitter banter that requires you to don a floral bandana, fish out the bell bottoms and dance around a campfire singing ‘Kumbaya’ — it’s a serious new way of approaching our inner strength, power and ability to tap into the essence of all that is.
In a nutshell, it’s the vital self empowerment tool.
Think of heart-centered living as trusting your intuition — the superconscious universal mind. It’s the Divine Soup that makes up existence and simmers with creative potential.
External Crutches Be Gone!
When we follow our thinking alone, we tend to seek external help. We labour under the delusion that we are not good enough and that there must be someone out there who knows more than we do, so we seek the knowledge for progress outside of ourselves.
Fat lot of good that’s done us so far, right?
It’s not that some people or information can’t help us, it’s the principle that any external help is merely an aid not a solution. Going inside is inevitably the only way. We are creatures of ingrained habit and following a path that we can only see a foot ahead is no easy feat — that is one of the reasons why we slip back into old ways of doing things that feel safe.
However, there is no real safety in repetitive behavior that doesn’t lead to necessary growth.
When we trust our instincts, no matter how ‘unplannned’ (meaning that we have no step-by-step plan on how to get there), we embark on a journey that is intuitive and that is why your synchronicity feelers need to be out there tracking the waves of the universe (I’ll discuss more about synchronicity below).
When you first approach the heart (what you feel is right) and marry that with the head (the course of action to take) you are using heart-centered guidance.
So, it’s not so hippy after all, eh? It’s about bringing the two into balance.
You’re going to be out of whack if you use only your head or only your heart. It’s the old Yin and Yang aspect of self again. You can’t lean too heavy on either side — you need to find that Goldilocks zone to get the balance right.
Let’s get to the 3 steps of using that inner GPS system:
Happy Trail Blazing!
