When you think synchronicity, you probably automatically think repeating numbers right? Well so did I not too long ago. I knew that I would always see these strange number combinations, and people and objects out of the blue, seemingly just when I needed them to appear. And I’d always think to myself, “what are the f’n odds?“. That is until I started to awaken. Or until I realized that I was awakening, I should say. And when that happened, it was like a whole world of meaning emerged from these strange coincidences.

Now, I am by no means an expert. In fact, throughout this whole blog, I’m simply sharing with you the awakening process as it happens to me personally, and maybe most other people. With that being said, if you find that the examples that I’m sharing are just not the case for you, please feel free to leave a comment below. I’d love to hear your story! We are all different, and I believe that’s what makes life so interesting and exciting. So! Onward to the post!

As I stated before, I would always get these signs prior to knowing that I was awakening. I just never knew what to make of them. So I did some research and there’s a wide variety of info on the subject, ranging from the super scientific, to the super spiritual. While I believe that all of them hold some validity, I’m going to share with you in layman’s terms what I believe synchronicities are, and why they occur.

What is Synchronicity?

The long and short of it is that synchronicity is the Universe’s way of communicating with you. Your angels, spirit guides, and higher self-use different things to communicate with you on a daily basis. So synchronicity, if you think about it, guides us with valuable information that helps us to shape our lives and accomplish our dreams. While we go through life, we often think, something along the lines of “God please just give me a sign!, Any sign !“. But in reality, the signs are there. They’ve always been there. We just have to learn to pay attention and notice them.

You may start to experience synchronicity when you start to manifest. In this case, you’ll start to see the things that you are manifesting at an alarming rate. Some think that it’s just your mind focusing on whatever it is you are trying to manifest intensely. And some think it’s the Universes way of bringing you closer to what it is you desire. If you’ve ever experienced this, apply the reason that works best for you. As I stated, everyone’s story is different.

How does synchronicity happen? you may be asking yourself. How is it possible? Well,… Everything in the Universe is connected. Everything is energy, and therefore can be transferred. So when we are in sync or synchronized with what we want, it is very likely that we will come in to contact with it in some form or fashion. This is the way synchronicity works. And below are 3 intriguing ways to recognize them.

3 Intriguing Ways to Recognize Synchronicity

1. One way that synchronicity works is by meaningful coincidences. Have you ever had a bad day, and just needed to hear some simple words of encouragement or even a particular phrase? And then you turn on the radio, or just happen to be standing behind a small group of people in line, and they say exactly what you need to hear. This will have been totally unexpected but will have proven to be just the thing to help lift your vibration. This is synchronicity at it’s best.

2. Number Synchronicity is another form that many are familiar with. If you constantly see the number 11:11, and know nothing of awakening and the Universe, take it as a sign that it is time for you to awaken. It’s the Universe’s way of telling you to get up from your blissful slumber and wipe the drool from your face. (Enter hard smack of REALITY!) If you are already wiping the figurative crust from your eyes, and are seeing 11:11, it is there to assure you that you are on the right path.

Of course, there are other number combinations that you may see. 123, 444, 333, 555, 711, 1010, 1212, and the list goes on and on… One site that I find has never let me down when trying to interpret these numbers is Joanne Sacred Scribes. Anytime you start seeing a particular number repetitively don’t play the lotto, look it up there. Trust me, I’ve tried it with many different numbers and people, and it’s been pretty accurate thus far, giving me the EXACT guidance I’ve needed at that particular time. Also, pay attention to the numbers in your dreams. Dreams are your Guides way of communicating with you, albeit strange. The numbers that you hear and see in your dreams could provide great guidance.

3. Animal signs are also a possibility. Just as I began to awaken, I remember seeing this magnificent blue butterfly one day walking into work. I LOVE butterflies and this one was the prettiest shade of blue I’d ever seen. It just walked in a circle in the parking lot right outside my window for about 30 minutes. No lie! I was in such awe that I recorded some of it. A couple of weeks prior, I remember thinking that I hadn’t seen any lately. I was going through a really rough time in life and in my marriage, and I felt like I was due to see one. Things needed to change for me. I needed to be reborn. Little did I know, that that thought was more literal than I had intended. When I saw that butterfly, my transformation began.

Then as I began to become aware of my awakening, I started to see dragonflies everywhere. Sometimes they would come right up to me and hover. This was during what I believed was my first Dark Night. Well as it turns out, dragonflies are messengers of the angels. They relay the message that you are not alone, and they are with you. Those dragonflies were my saving grace. I would also see an alarming amount of crows. It was rather gloomy until I learned that they represent awakening and enlightenment.

And as I began this blog, spiders would just jump out at me. Now I’m the first to say that I DO NOT do spiders. I had to make a conscious decision not to kill them because they scared me that much. But as I learned what message they brought, (Creativity, and weaving your own reality) I began to appreciate them and their presence more. I began to force myself to think, “why should they have to die just because they were blessed with 8 legs?“. That seems to have worked for me.. Anyways, the list of animal synchronicity goes on and on. I’ll add a post at a later date to cover them.

Although synchronicity seemingly has no rational explanation, I hope I’ve been able to shed some light on what it is & why we see them. After all, they are just happenings put in our paths to guide and direct us. The trick is being able to realize them. If you pay attention, they may actually help you through many phases that you are going through in life. Remember, you are never alone on this path, or in life. Stay in the present and in the moment. That’s all that really matters anyway. When you can do this, you’ll begin to notice all of the wonderful signs around you.
