What is Synchronicity? The Law of Synchronicity   "Synchronicity describes two meaningful coincidences that are not apparently linked through the principle of Cause and Effect. The link between the two is through the meaning of such events. Pulling tarot cards that accurately describe the events in your current life would be a synchronous event.  In no way does the act of pulling the cards seem to influence your life, or vice versa, but how they coincide can lead to greater meaning and insight when joined together." Synchronicity is a word coined by Carl Jung to describe such coincidences. His law is called the Principle of Acausal Synchronicity. Later, Isaac Bonewits called it the "Law of Synchronicity" for modern magickal practitioners. Although grounded in modern psychology, the idea is found in many magickal cultures. The main lesson I learned from the law is to allow my intuition to bring me synchronous events. Such events lead me to a greater spiritual awareness, lesson, or mission in my life. By following the trail of synchronicity, we often find our path.? ~The above from Christopher Penzak's book~ The Inner Temple of Witchcraft~   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Synchronicities are people, places or events that your soul attracts into your life to help you evolve to a higher consciousness or to place emphasis on something going on in your life. There are no "accidents", and everything happens for a reason, even though we may not be able to see it at the time. Sometimes, people or events come into your life that may not seem positive, though they are also there to create major spiritual learning lessons, and are brought to you through synchronicity. Each day your life encounters meaningful coincidences or synchronicities, that you have attracted. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Some Examples of Synchronicity:   ~You get laid off from your job, and when your last unemployment check runs out, you are led to an even better job, that satisfies you spiritually.   ~You set out on an endeavor, such as starting your own business, because you feel "pulled" to do this, though you have no idea HOW you are going to do it. Before you know it, you meet all the right people, who give you all the right tips, and the money for the business appears just when you need it.   ~You go to the doctor for a pain that comes out of nowhere. The doctors are unable to find out what is causing that pain, however in the process, they find something seriously wrong, in time to cure the problem, that could have been deadly. ~You walk into a bookstore, and a book suddenly "falls" off the shelf, or "pops" into your vision, and it is exactly the information you were looking for, or information you need.   ~A particular person continues to show up in your life, over and over. When you pursue the relationship, you find that it was "meant to be" and you later learn spiritual lessons from that person. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Synchronicity:     ~Will lead you to something you need.   ~Will give you a "sign" that you are doing the right thing, or you are on the right track....a "reassurance" that all is well.   ~Allow you to meet someone, who has the precise information you need, to lead you to the perfect job, spouse, situation or life path.   ~Put you in the right place, at the right time.   ~Is when you think about someone and they call, or you run into them.   ~Can be answers to prayers to bring you what you need. (an example of this is you are in desperate need of money, to pay your rent, and a check unexpectedly shows up in your mailbox)   ~Is having something happen, that keeps you out of a dangerous situation like your car breaking down, to help you avoid an accident further down the road, or being late and missing a plane, and later finding out, the plane crashed.....   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    Some "Signs" of Synchronicity are:    1. Animals that cross your path to give you a message.....2 good books to get if you want to be able to get synchronistic messages from animals are:   Medicine Cards by Sams & Carson   Animal Speak by Ted Andrews   You will get quite some awesome messages, from paying attention to our animal friends.   2. Significant objects showing up and coming across your path at the right time, such as feathers falling from the sky out of the blue, stones, pennies etc.   3. Weather; such as the sun breaking through the clouds at a particular moment, a rainbow appearing in the sky, or a sudden burst of rain to send you messages.   4. Songs on the radio, that send you the message you need to hear at just the right time, or messages from the TV.   5. Books that you need to read, or that has certain information you require popping off the shelf at you, or opening a book to a certain page to get the message or information you need.   6. Overheard conversations, that lead you to something such as a job, or a life path.   7. Road signs.   8. Dreams and Deja vu are also important signs to pay attention to.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     How to Follow Synchronicity:   ~Pay attention to people you run into by accident. Listen to what they have to say, and say whatever pops into your mind. They may have a message for you, and you may have a message for them!   ~Pay attention to the "signs"   ~Slow down your life and pay more attention, decrease your mental "chatter."   ~Always listen to you intuition!   ~If you aren't getting the "signs" ask for them! And..... Make sure you ask the right questions!   ~If you have a particular problem, decide to turn it over to synchronicity, this means letting "go" of it completely.   ~Ask Spirit for guidance.   ~Always "trust", even when outward appearances seem bleak- because that is when the good stuff is happening behind the scenes! Know it is for a reason, and things will get better!   ~Be Expectant! Very important....... Expect the synchronicities to come to you, and therefore they will happen!   ~Remember that anger and frustration stops synchronicity from happening!   ~Also remember the more you notice meaningful coincidences, the more they will multiply!   ~One last note, sometimes if you don't pay attention to synchronicity, or what Spirit is trying to tell you, they will continue to happen over and over again, until you notice them.... and sometimes, if you keep ignoring what you are meant to see, than a synchronicity may occur as an "accident" to really get your attention! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    How do you know you are following synchronicity?   ~Your life will run smoothly, and everything will just seem to "flow". You will feel joyful, excited and peaceful about your life, all at the same time.   ~The feeling of "restlessness" will diminish, and then disappear, and you will begin to remember your life path.   ~You will be led to everything you need upon your life path, to people, opportunities, and situations.   ~Tala 2007
