Every week, for the past 2 years, I have attended a personal growth workshop group.
Lately, we have been tapping into our awareness of ‘synchronicities’, and it seems to be beginning to bear fruit.
Here is a blunt definition of Synchronicity, hot from Google:
“the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.”
There’s a lot more to it though. Here’s a small extract from an article by Greg Levoy in Psychology Today:
“[Karl] Jung believed that synchronicities mirror deep psychological processes, carry messages the way dreams do, and take on meaning and provide guidance to the degree they correspond to emotional states and inner experiences.”

So, they are not mere coincidences – scynchronicities have meaning and resonance.
Synchronicity vs. Coincidence
If a coincidence does not have any connection to you – and carries no real meaning for you – beyond “wow, what a strange coincidence”, then it really is mere coincidence.
However, if a coincidence has a deep connection to something you already have in focus or have thought about, and if that connection has a meaning for you, then it is a synchronicity.
Then the universe is providing you with a message – a waypoint, a marker, a pivot point – and you should take note.
The difficult part often comes when interpreting whether the message you are receiving is positive or negative – whether you should approach and embrace, or reject and walk away.
This is where your intuition comes in – you cannot intellectualise this process. It needs a light touch.
What is your intuition telling you about it? How do you feel about it? How strongly do you feel?
Listen to your intuition, and allow the message to lie for a few days, reviewing each day.
If your intuition is correct, the feeling, whether negative or positive, will still be there as strongly.
If it is incorrect, the feeling will have faded – in which case you leave it alone and move on.
Receiving Messages
Since beginning to be open to recognising synchronistic events, I have been noticing more and more messages being sent to me.
Yesterday I posted my first blog for a private community.*
In essence the post was about not hiding or masking your negative emotions.
A few minutes later, when I returned to the Blog section, I saw an excellent post by another community member talking about trapped emotions, which can also be caused by suppressing or masking them.
As this occurred within the community platform, and people post about such subjects frequently there, I didn’t give it too much undue weight – it could be coincidence. But I noted its congruence – my intuition was telling me to keep hold of the thought.
When I attended my coaching workshop later that evening, one of the subjects under discussion was how masking or glossing over our emotions can lead to them being trapped within us.
We had no prior warning of the workshop content – we were beginning a new topic, and this was our first introduction to it.
So here was a good example of synchronicity – and showing me that I am focused in the right area right now for personal growth. The Universe has literally shown me what I should be working on in that arena.
Intuitively, it feels right. But I will leave it alone for a few days and review.
If my intuition is correct, and I still feel the same way, I will know I have received a real message, and act accordingly.
