Synchronicities
What is Synchronicity?
First of, it’s a Jungian concept. But by official definition,
Synchronicity is the occurrence of meaningful coincidences that seem to have no cause. The domains of psychology, biology, and physics have discussed synchronicity. Though controversial because of its mystical implications, synchronicity has resonance for creativity in that the underlying idea is that there is unity in diversity. [1]
For me, seeing numbers, signs, forms constantly meant something. I found out about this a while ago but I have experienced the depth and thrill of it, pretty recently.
What does it really mean to see numbers and signs?
What does it mean if you suddenly have butterflies or hummingbirds trying to be around you?
What does it mean to see certain signs, without seeking them out?
It means that… you are haunted. Haha! Kidding.
In a way, it is true, i.e. “being haunted”. However, it is a beautiful phenomena.
We live in a 3D world. What we see, feel, hear, touch and taste is all we believe in, most of the times. This is applicable to most of us humans.
However, there are select few, who can experience the unknown. Its called 5D. I believe it is something which is connected to the idea of A New Earth. An Awakening. A rise of the Collective consciousness.
The special people in this world, who will attest to this are called Spiritual mediums, shamans, tarot readers, psychics. They can channel these unknown energies and give it a structure in the form of words and ideas.
For those spiritually inclined, this is one aspect to explore. Anyway, I digress.
Synchronicities have given me a new meaning in life. The experience and presence of these, means that I have spiritual guides or angels looking after me; looking out for me and protecting me.
If I am supposed to be raised up in vibration(energy), I need to be given a direction. That direction needs to take a form in the physical world and that is what synchronicities are.
A variety of such synchronicities exist and I possibly know only a teeny-tiny percentage of it.
Angel Numbers- Repetitive patterns of numbers which could be consecutive numbers like 111 or 1111 or 222 or 2222 etc and so on mean something for every situation. For example I have been seeing the numbers 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 in varying orders and combinations. It sometimes drives me crazy; and sometimes makes me feel assured that I’m not alone.
Another one is, seeing the same kind of bird or animal or living organism, when you are least expecting it; for e.g. a Red Fox or Coyote crossing your path or a Bald Eagle flying overhead or even dreaming about specific animals like Tigers or Lions or Wolves or Elephants; a specific butterfly flitting across on different days at different times. It all has a meaning
Another funny one is hearing the same song wherever you go. Though this one could be a co-incidence. However I have heard this from a psychic many times- There are no such things as co-incidences. So, maybe someone or something is trying to send you a message through it.
Having said all this- it does not mean that you need to go and look for a meaning every time something shows up. They are just a form of assurance or warning, if be the case, that you are looked after or need to beware of something.
Tap into your intuition at such times and that is all you need to be able to understand if it really is trying to tell you something.
In my personal situation, I have been constantly guided to be aware of a phase of Change that is now ongoing in my life. A little while ago, it was just a strong feeling that Change is Coming. But now, I am bang-splat in the middle of it.
Trust me, change is scary. Especially when its everywhere. Inside and outside.

It feels exactly like being in the middle of the ocean in the middle of a storm- trying to stay afloat and trying to save yourself from not drowning- just barely surviving, head above the water. Barely alive, just barely.
Apparently, all I need to do is, Trust; when I am at my most vulnerable. When I am feeling, skin-peeled raw; when every moment feels like a struggle to breathe or survive; showing up and speaking up anywhere and everywhere is a facade in order to protect the alone, blindfolded, naked and rawest version of my real self trying to find solid ground to stand on, with no walls or pillars to support or give steadiness; everything appears to be like a coin with two sides. Nothing is certain. Everything seems like a choice.
I believe this is what change feels like. Raw. Real. Painful. Indiscriminating. Unforgiving. Forcing to Be. To Becoming.
Synchronicities are what show me that there’s something going right. I chuckle and smirk at them sometimes- not because I don’t believe, oh no far from it. But because it is so fucking hard to exist.
I strongly feel, I have been given messages which permit me to stay strong and believe in my individual physical existence for now- whether there is anyone at all to really accept the Real me, without judgements or opinions. Or not.
I am only Human after all, a social creature by habit of DNA, craving pure and unconditional acceptance.
My special song to the inner struggling me is one by Avril Lavigne. Its old but has so much grit and strength.
You’re not alone, together we stand
I’ll be by your side, you know, I’ll take your hand
When it gets cold and it feels like the end
There’s no place to go, you know, I won’t give in
No, I won’t give in
Keep holding on
‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through
Just stay strong
‘Cause you know I’m here for you, I’m here for you
There’s nothing you could say (nothing you could say)
Nothing you could do (nothing you could do)
There’s no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
‘Cause you know we’ll make it through, we’ll make it through [2]
Thank you for such a powerful song, Avril.
I shall. Keep Holding On.
