Synchronicity is the art of dancing with the earth, the stars, the wind, and the sun, all the while harmonizing in sync and manifesting marvelous creations in our lives.
You see this synchronicity when you look into the sky and witness a flock of birds flying together. There is nothing out of order, no collisions or chaos, just perfect symmetry turning, moving and gracefully gliding through the sky. A bird turns and the others in the pack move with her, completely aware of every move and surrendering into the oneness that is created by all in the group.
This oneness is rarely witnessed in the human world which is full of chaos and collisions. If we look closely, however, we will witness the desire of the earth, the universe and the rest of humanity trying to move with us and co-create our existence in a peaceful and symbiotic way.
When we create our experiences, we often fail to see how the universe is influencing the ways in which our reality manifests itself. Moving in a specific direction doesn’t always mean that we will arrive at our desired destination. Events and people in our lives don’t always fulfil our expectations. We might have a plan for ourselves but this plan may not coincide with the plans of the universe and contribute to our interconnected web in a harmonious way. If this is the case, we will often come up against a wall unless we are open to seeing the divine messages that the universe is always sending us to help guide our journey. Failure to witness these messages is a significant reason why so many that walk amongst us are terribly unhappy with their life circumstance.
Life has the ability to flow gracefully with the tides or it can be rocky and rigid, causing one’s footing to be lodged between a rock and a hard place. Whatever reality is manifesting in your life is the one that you choose. Should you choose to allow more flow into your life, it is important to understand the art of surrendering and trusting the universe to guide you.
In her book, “Excuse me, your life is waiting”, Lynn Grabhorn writes about aligning ourselves with the universe by allowing the life force energy that is flowing into us at all times to move through us and become a partner in creating our experiences. She explains that we can feel this energy when we let it in, experiencing it along with positive emotions such as elation, freedom and love. This creates an opportunity for us to strengthen our connection with the divine, as well as our intuition. When we block this energy, we close ourselves off to assistance from the divine and experience negative emotions such as resistance, anger, frustration and hate.
We are electromagnetic beings, balls of energy vibrating at different frequencies. When it comes to vibrational frequencies, like attracts like, so if we are wondering why we are constantly struggling through life, we should first ask ourselves “what kind of energy am I radiating?” We can influence our paths greatly simply by becoming aware of the energy that we are putting forth into the universe. When we have faith in the divine, we have a sense of trust and surrender to what is. We accept positive experiences as gifts, or challenging ones as opportunities for growth. Instead of demanding from the universe that our lives always be pain free and resisting the challenges that are presented to us to help us grow, we accept each experience exactly as it is. In this way, we see and embrace the beauty in everything.
This doesn’t mean that we need to completely surrender to everything that happens to us nor does it mean that we have complete control over our experience. The point is that we are co-creating our experiences with the universe at all times. Harmony in that co-creation is present when we find a balance between creating what we desire and surrendering to the divine. In this way, we move forward with what we want and trust that the universe will support us if it is the right path for us, or reroute us if it isn’t.
The key to synchronizing ourselves with the intentions of the universe is to practice allowing that life force energy in, moving through that energy, and learning how to identify when the universe has messages for us. It takes a leap of faith to trust that the universe will guide us. We are in a society that depends on proof and evidence, and it’s difficult to practice listening to our intuition or trusting in a sign or message. The more we trust that the universe is guiding us through our intuition and through those messages, the easier it will be to see them and act out of them.
I have been sharing a wonderfully symbiotic relationship with the divine for as long as I can remember. When I feel grounded and centered in my yoga and meditation practice I feel my being aligning with the universe, and together we create exciting story lines and wonderfully fulfilling experiences. When I feel that I need something, be it some words of encouragement, deeper connections with others, or a sense of community, and I ask the universe to help me create that which I’m desiring, I usually receive what I am hoping for. It doesn’t always look the way I’d hoped and it doesn’t always come in the places that I imagined, but I allow for that flexibility because I trust that I’m being guided to where I’m meant to be.
I feel that I operate in alignment with my path and when I have a strong sense that something isn’t for me (a relationship, a career path etc.), I wait for the universe to guide me to something more harmonious. I experience deep gratitude for the wisdom with which the universe has surrounded me.
Each day I surrender to the divine and try to move from that space.
Each of us has this connection with the divine. The universe is always ready and waiting to help us on our journeys. The only thing standing in the way of having our lives be exactly the way we want them to be is our own resistance. I was once told that the more we know ourselves, the fewer problems we create for ourselves in our lives. Practicing the art of knowing thyself and connecting to the divine has been one of the most challenging but fulfilling practices I have every undertaken. I suggest giving it a try.
