The Joy of Synchronicity

I have a strong love for synchronicity and enjoy noticing its occurance every day in my life.  Synchronicity is a name used to define an event or circumstance that has no reason for happening, however, it is important for the person(s) within the situation.  A similar word is serendipity and there is a movie out with this name starring John Cusak, which I highly recommend viewing.

As you become more aware of synchronicity in your life, it becomes more aware of you and the wonderful adventure begins.  For example, my guides and angels know that I have a connection with numbers because I studied mathematics in college and it runs in the family.  So I decided to learn about numerology and now find meaning and serendipity in the simplest yet unexplainable things.

Here is an example of only a few of the synchronicities which occurred for me in the past week:

1.  During the night of 9.8.10 I woke up at 1:11 then again at 4:44 then again at 5:05.

2.  On 9.9.10 I wake up again at 1:11 and 4:44.  When I woke up at 1:11 I had a word on my mind.  As I began to ponder the meaning of the word, I remembered an important event from my childhood.  This gave me a strong sense of direction on my spiritual life path.  In other words, I got a green light for my next step forward on a new career.

3. That same morning a coyote visited our back yard.  My son, Victor, said, “Mom, look, it’s a fox.”  I dismissed it, thinking we do not have foxes in our neighborhood.  When he saw him a second time, however, I went to look and saw a very healthy coyote walking casually through our yard.  He glanced my way and then left.  The third time (and yes, the #3 is significant also) he just sat up, looking directly at us, from Victor’s eyes to mine, and I got it that he was waiting to also connect with Leo, my older child.  As soon as Leo saw him, he left for good.

It turns out that each of us received a unique message.  Mine was to pick back up the pen so to speak and complete my book for children, which has the coyote as one of the main characters.  Victor’s message was about transforming from playing tricks on himself to knowing that he is perfect already.  Leo’s message was about being able to tell jokes and laugh at himself in life.

4. The gym I attend is usually very crowded in the mornings and parking is limited.  As I am driving to the facility I ask my guides for my favorite parking space, right in front of the new entrance.  I haven’t calculated, but almost every time my space is available and I offer appreciation for it, especially on those cold, rainy days.

5. On 9.10.10 I wake up at 1:11 then 4:44 again.  I think of a friend and then see her at a pet store.

6. On 9.11.10 I wake up at 6:24 and then 6:33 and realize this is 6:6 and the number 3 for the trinity. I also remember a dream I had during the night and am able to understand it’s implications for me on that particular day.  I take the kids for a hike and we see a mass of garter snakes, intertwined, moving about and undisturbed by our proximity.  I immediately receive their message and share it with the boys, who receive joyfully as we continue.  Victor bought a small bug specimen container for the hike and wanted to find a snake to put in it for good viewing.  I said that it would have to be a tiny snake to be able to fit in the small space, so sure enough he finds one that is no more than 3″ long and Leo catches it for him.  The baby brown snake is happy when he is released next to a small stream soon after.

If you are interested in connecting with the joy of  synchronicity in your life then you are already on the right path!  Blessings and Light, Beth

I Thought She Was My Friend!

Lotus Flower

This past week I had an eye opening experience with a woman who I assumed was a new friend.  What happened is not important.  What is important is that I left the circumstance with the feeling that something was ‘off.’  I knew I had acted with positive vibrations and that I was not the cause of this incident.  So I let it go and later asked my guides for information and understanding.  They revealed the somewhat painful truth to me.  A truth which included lying not only to me but also to this woman’s family and loved ones.  After processing this situation, I realized 5 important lessons:

1.  Trust.  I did not have a positive opinion of this person the first time I met her, however, instead of trusting my intuition I learned a harder lesson.

2.  Have Faith.  I have been asking the Universe for a new friend and have been spelling out the specifics for some time now.  Instead of forcing a mismatch, I need to  have faith that what I am asking for is out there and it will happen.

3.  Allow.  Now that the empty space has been created where the false friend used to be, I am consciously allowing the space for a new, spiritual friend to emerge in my life.

4.  Appreciation.  Above all else, this lesson has taught me the value of my current web of friends who are loving and supportive.

5.  Forgiveness.  This is important as always.  I have forgiven myself for not trusting my intuition and I have also forgiven the false friend.  Forgiveness is releasing and empowering.  It strengthens my faith, trust, appreciation and allowing.

Disneyland: 5 Life Lessons I Learned On Vacation

Minnie and Mickey Mouse

I recently went on a week-long vacation with my husband, 2 young sons and mother-in-law to Anaheim, CA.  We rented a house only 5 minutes from the main Disney parks and each day was fully planned with wonderful adventure, activities, food and fun.  The weather was a nice change from Portland’s chilly and rainy air because the sun came out every day and it warmed up to 70+ degrees F most days.

San Diego Zoo

It was not Spring Break for the boys so they were required to finish homework each morning before we left the house.  This method worked very well because by the time we came home at the end of the day they were way too tired for anything else!

Legoland California

Our adventures took us to Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Legoland, The San Diego Zoo and Balboa Beach.  Each day was enjoyable and I learned several life lessons along the way.  Here is a list of my top 5:

1. CONNECT WITH YOUR INNER CHILD. This is essential when going to Disneyland and other adventures.  Remember what it was like to be a child and go on your first thrilling ride and then take this energy with you when you go on rides as an adult.  It will boost your enthusiasm and you will find much pleasure in even the three-year old rides.  When we returned and I was at the local grocery store check-out, the teenager bagger asked me if Disneyland is really the happiest place on earth.  My response, “Absolutely! As long as I am joyous anyplace on earth is the happiest!”
2. BE YOUR OWN GUIDE. Whether you are in an amusement park with 10,000 other people or at the grocery store with 20, it is important to follow your intuition or gut instinct.  When you are following your inner guidance system you can be confident and self-assured instead of worrying about what other people think or say about you.  Go ahead and scream, laugh or cry on the rides!
3. THINK POSITIVE. Some of the rides at these theme parks are extreme and frightening for children as well as adults.  It is important to release any fear you have about the ride before you go on it because The Universal Law of Attraction says that like attracts like.  In other words, if you are afraid you will get hurt and you take this energy with you onto the ride, then your chances of actually suffering as a result magnify.  Of course, follow the safety protocols for the rides and if you qualify then either don’t go on the ride if you are unable to shift your energy about it, or think of something that makes you feel happy and tell yourself, “I can go on this ride, have fun and be safe!”  I learned my lesson about this when the extreme ride me and my 8-year-old son wanted to ride malfunctioned and then we had to wait to ride it.  Luckily, in the interim I was able to shift my energy so that the ride was a blast!
4. FORGIVE OTHERS. The majority of people we encountered were friendly, however, there were occasionally people who were not, including rude and impatient people and one verbally aggressive man.  At these times when the other person’s behavior was not intentionally provoked by our group, I realized that forgiving them was best.  When you forgive another person you release the negative emotions surrounding it from yourself and you are then able to continue with fun and fabulous adventures!  While in Legoland, I was far from a family and heard the man verbally assaulting his wife.  When I turned to look he shouted hateful remarks toward me.  I turned him in to the park security, prayed for forgiveness and cleansed the negative frequencies from the interaction so much so that I did not even remember the incident until I began writing about forgiveness.
5. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Let’s face it, 5 straight days of extra long excitement can wear anybody down.  Instead of sticking to a previously scheduled plan of events, it is beneficial to be flexible and to rest when necessary.  We ended up skipping Friday’s activities and hanging out at home and by the pool to rest instead.  It paid off because the next day we were able to fully enjoy our last day in California and our last day in Disneyland!
