[1] I was at dancing class talking to one of the girls "H" who proceeded to tell me about this facinating book on Reflexology she was reading, had I heard about the Therapy? I told her I was a Reflexologist. (Known the girl for 2 years but only ever discussed dancing) She said how incredible she was looking for someone to teach her, would I oblige? (I'd just given up my 8yrs of teaching adult classes in Reflexology at TAFE). I told her she would need another person to do the class with her and promptly forgot about the whole thing...people tend to say these things and never get around to doing it. Two weeks later she informed me she had 6 people already committed.

[2) I was speaking to a friend "W" who was telling me about this wonderful therapist "K" who does voice toning to balance energies in the body/chakras. I said how wonderful because I was looking for a present for my girlfriend "C" and took the lady's number. Called her and bought a gift voucher. During a conversation with "H" she was sharing information about the people she had coming to the course. Amongst them she mentioned "K" the voice toner.

[3] "K" was at a practitioner gathering and mentioned to my friend "W" how she was going to a reflexology workshop with a Regina..Wendy said that's the lady who bought the gift voucher from you. She had'nt realised.

[4] On the day of the workshop, my friend (also a therapist) rang me to say that one of her clients had just shared that she was doing a reflexology workshop that evening. "C" asked if it was Regina, and the lass said "Yes"

[5] When I arrived at the course and introduced myself to everyone, I caught the eye of one of the girls and asked if we knew each other. She was the lass that My friend "C" called me about that day. She said yes and we realised that I had stopped to assist her with some flower essences at center where she was doing yoga and I was in clincal practice. Our encounter was brief but very poignant for her.

It was interesting that I had given up my teaching appointment at Tafe a short time before that because I was stretching myself too far, but it was one of the things that I loved doing, and I was very sad to have to let it go. I had also stopped clinical practice at the same time for the same reasons. My "Day job" which is my way back to financial security (I know, I know) after my marriage breakup, is at times an 11 -12 hour day.

I'm glad to say the course has just finished, and it was a very rewarding time and wonderfully received by the participants.

WHAT IS
SYNCHRONICITY?

Jane Teresa's Explanation

WHAT IS SYNCHRONICITY?

________

Synchronicity occurs when you experience a coincidence, or several coincidences, that seem so bizarre that you feel they must be meaningful in some way.

Some people believe that synchronicities are signs to follow, to lead you to where you are 'meant' to be. My understanding, however, is that not all synchronicities are to be followed, because ...

Synchronicities are SYMBOLS of where you're at, not signs to follow.

Synchronicities speak the same symbolic language as dreams.

When you experience a synchronicity, you are witnessing a change within yourself, an insight, a birth of something that has been unconscious bubbling up into consciousness.

At such times of change we see, all around us, symbols that reflect our shift in perception and self-understanding. This is synchronicity.

To understand this fully, and to see why it is not always appropriate to follow synchronicity, you can read my book, THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME. This way you can also discover how to read the synchronicities in your life and how to act on them in positive, life-enhancing ways.

Reality may never feel the same again!

P.S.

In Jungian terms all synchronicities begin with a dream.

The dream comes first, then the symbol from the dream appears in waking life in ways that seem incredibly meaningful - though, classically, it is hard to understand, consciously, what that meaning is.

This is because the dream is painted by your unconscious mind in advance of your conscious mind 'catching up'. When the insight (unconscious shift) is big, synchronicities follow.

What happens is that your incredibly powerful unconscious mind (far more powerful than your conscious mind) manifests its insight physically into your waking life. (You have changed - the world, as you experience it, changes in accordance.)

It usually takes up to a couple of weeks before your conscious mind understands the symbolic dream manifesting in your waking life as synchronicity.

Being human, as we all are, we often forget the original dream but still experience the synchronicities.

There are many excellent reference sources on Jungian synchronicity.

My approach is largely Jungian, but slightly shifted.

Again, if you are seriously in-depth interested, I suggest you read my book "THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" to understand where I am coming from.

Quite simply, synchronicity is a waking dream and interpreting it as such is immensely enriching.
