Coincidence synchronicity or serendipity? What is this concept and how does this relate to what is happening in your day to day life? What is synchronicity and what is happening when this strange phenomenon occurs? And where does coincidence fit into the picture, and how can knowing more about this concept help you?
My definition of synchronicity has been... 'the random bringing together of unrelated events'. But this is slightly different to how it was defined by Carl Jung who defined this word around 90 years ago. What I do know is that this is a spiritual experience.
Carl Jung believed that we are all linked, and I believe this is highly possible.
Jung called this the collective unconscious, and Edgar Cayce referred to the Akashic records, which is based on a similar supposition.
These experiences are related to your relationship to the Great Divine Spirit, and they are the way you can be enabled to manifest powerful situations in your life.
Some of the stones that I have been writing about, like the Labradorite Crystal Ball shown below... have vibrations that encourage synchronicities to occur. As I began to write about them I began to attract a greater number of these events into my life. As these began to happen I pondered, is there a difference between the two concepts of coincidence and synchronicity?
Some scientists believe that we only experience these synchronistic events when our emotions are heightened. They believe this is because we notice things in a different way... and we may see things that we have not seen before. At such times as deaths, births, marriage or other highly emotional events we seem to notice them, and this is their explanation for these happenings.
It was the psychologist Carl Jung who put together the definition of synchronicity. He took the word from a story by Horace Walpole, the 'Princes of Serendip.' Quite a few different people then used the term but it was Carl Jung who defined it in the 1920's.
He answered the question 'What Is Synchronicity' after he experienced an event, that brought this phenomenon to his attention.
This happened in response to a patient, that was on the couch and telling him about a dream she had experienced about a golden Scarab beetle. At that precise moment Jung looked out the window and saw a real live scarab beetle. Now this story has a lot more to it of course, and as I am not a psychologist, I will simply tell you his definition for Synchronicity.
You may have experienced the result of prayer... and may particularly remember it. You may feel that this was clearly cause and effect, when you received what you needed as a result of deep heart-felt prayer. A highly spiritual experience.
You may use Chrysanthemum Stone
to encourage this cause and effect to happen.
You may recognize that there seems to be a cause and effect happening... that you think about something, then later... just coincidently... you have this other related experience. This is what is known as synchronicity .
Synchronicity varies from the spiritual experience of prayer... as part of the concept of synchronicity is that the thoughts associated with this phenomenon are lighter...yet they seems to in some strange way get your attention. They do not usually have the depth of emotional need... yet these fleeting, yet quite strong thoughts are often associated with receiving exactly what you need at that time.
The time and place when this coincidence or synchronicity happens may become indelibly imprinted on your mind from that time on. If you have been working on your spiritual development, you may begin connecting with angels and can ask them for help. They are known to use this process to help them to deliver what you have asked for. It may then become quite spiritual, as you feel that only a Divine source could have delivered what you received at that time.
Coincidence and synchronicity may work like this. Firstly an image comes into your mind, maybe something you actually see with your eyes somewhere, or it may pop into your mind as a thought or even occur in a dream. Secondly an actual event associated with this comes into your life as reality.
They may be unusual or peculiar circumstances associated with what happens. A common situation may be when you are thinking about someone you have not seen for a very long time, then the next day you go somewhere and coincidently bump into them. But to make it even more interesting you may also find that coincidently they have an interest in something that you need to know about, and are able to tell you this information.
This could be called synchronicity... and keeping a crystal in your pocket, like a Snowflake Obsidian
may aid the process.
You may recognize that synchronicity is happening... when the moment feels so right... a perfect time and place in your life. It is often like a time out of time... as you feel this amazing feeling that you are just in the right place at the perfect time.
If you feel this amazing flow happening, you need to simply get out of the way and let it happen.
If you can still the busyness of your mind, and step back from controlling it and simply allow..... allow spirit to take control.... and some quite astonishing things may happen. Following your intuition at these times when you feel that coincidence or synchronicity is at work can be important to the outcome.
Of course these type of things may only be of importance to you the observer. If you feel something is important, and it does work out to be so, you might wonder why this information, person or situation came into your life at the exact moment that it did. This is where there is a strong link between spirituality and synchronicity.
If you would like to encourage more coincidence or synchronicity to occur in your life, you may choose to use any of the crystals below. These crystals all have other aspects that make them useful crystals to have in your life.
If you are wondering how to use these crystals to encourage coincidence or synchronicity... one of the best ways is to keep them within your auric field for as long as possible each day.
One of these crystals is Rainbow Moonstone
... a delightful crystal that is known as a stone that brings a lovely sense of joy, and encourages good vibrations to flow out into your aura. Of course it is also a stone that encourages coincidence synchronicity and serendipity.
Wearing any of the stones on the above list will benefit you in a number of ways. Allow the process of coincidence and synchronicity to aid you to choose which crystal is best for you... or you may click on the links of the stones above to discover more about their qualities.
Using that method... particularly if you are an analytical person... will still aid you to bring the right stone into your life.
Looking at what other qualities you desire to also bring into your life, may aid you to make a choice. Some of these stones have qualities that may aid the development of a variety of different psychic powers.
Recently I had an interesting event happen to me... and some may question... was it coincidence or synchronicity at work in my life? On the way home from my meditation group, I turned a corner the wrong way, then again turned a wrong corner (or two) and I was lost. On thinking about it later, I realized that I was a little ungrounded, so this may have contributed to what happened.
Instead of stopping and back tracking, I kept driving.
Soon I recognized and that I was close to my childhood school, so I decided to drive past it to see if it had changed.
As I drove past I saw a large sign that mentioned that it was 90 years since it had opened. It was a coincidence or synchronicity that they were having a fair to celebrate the next Saturday.
The next Saturday I arrived too early as I had not read the sign properly. Although it did not start until lunch-time, I decided to take a look around.
Just coincidently, the first person I met inside the gate was a relation that I had not seen for a long time. He also was too early! We quickly caught up on family news... and I heard word about family members I had not heard about in a long time.
As we walked around together, we just coincidently ran into the lady running the history display, which was in the school hall. It was not going to open until four hours later, but she allowed us to go in and we were able to save a lot of time. It was a lovely experience, and I know that this was the process of coincidence or synchronicity in action. Had I not just coincidently got 'lost' I would not have gone there and met my relation and learned things I had no other way of finding out.
Meaningful coincidence and synchronicity is also associated with luck. How often have you heard about that one in a million chance. Where someone misses the plane... and it crashes, and their life is saved. Or someone catches the bus... just in the nick of time... and they find out later that there was a big crash on the freeway, and their bus was the last to get through.
There are many positive one in a million chances that happen every day and these may be very lucky.
The person who did not intend to buy a ticket in a lottery, and some strange coincidence makes them do so... and they win!
Most of you may hope to be in the right place at the right time, to enable you to take advantage of something... to get lucky!
Ask yourself, what is the chance or probability that they occur? You see some word or thing mentioned... either on the net or in a book. It seems to stand out for some reason and you realize that it has special meaning to you... then it is spoken to you by some totally unrelated person.
Often there may be strings of synchronicities that occur that are just too unbelievable to put down to anything but what I believe is an amazing spiritual concept. I often find that I hear about a book on a subject that is very beneficial to me, and quite quickly it will somehow come to me.... and often in most strange circumstances.
Often I will read about a crystal in one of my crystal books, then I will be at one of the groups I belong to and someone is either wearing it or may be discussing it.
Quite quickly afterwards I am somewhere and that same type of crystal is selling... like when I bought this cluster of the lovely Golden crystal called Baryte
...which is one of the stones on the above list. I bought it somewhere I had not intended to go, and in unusual circumstances.
These clusters of synchronicities often occur to both myself and my friends about the same time... and if I did not believe in coincidence and synchronicity I would find it most bizarre.
You see the same words popping out at you... and you have an almost time out of time feeling, at the unfolding of these sequences of occurrences.
Once you begin to detect the patterns, it is so interesting to watch as it unfolds!
The crystals on the above list are powerful to encourage coincidence and synchronicity. If you understand the concept of synchronicities... most of the stones have a strong vibration that encourage these to occur. If you decide to use them for this purpose, keeping a journal on the events that happen to you will benefit you. By daily writing in a journal you may notice these things more easily.
As most of these stones will increase both the number and frequency of experiencing synchronicities in your life... it is highly possible you will have something to record. This seemingly random bringing together of unrelated events is a powerful assistance to move your life in a new direction.
