For Earth Day we attended a meeting of "Divine Synchronities". In this meeting 15 people who mostly didn't know each other came together to share stories of experiences in their life where serendipitous / coincidental things happened. Synchronicity is described in wikipedia as "the experience of two or more occurrences (beyond coincidentally) in a manner that is logically meaningful- but inexplicable- to the person or persons experiencing them".
The point of the meeting was as described in the invitation email:
"Where two or more are gathered, the wisdom and power accumulates as we gather in groups to inspire each other. Amazement and renewed hope comes from listening and sharing with our hearts as we create infinite possibilities in our lives."
It may sound a little hippy dippy to some but as the description of the meeting suggests it was very inspiring and encouraging. Everyone has moments of doubt and fear but when you hear 15 different people all sharing stories of miracles and magic in their day to day life, you realize there is a level of wonder everyone can attest to. It cannot be predicted but it can counted on.
In my recent post on friends and networking I outlined the idea of building your business through your connections. Many of the stories I heard at the meeting last night included examples of the power in networks. Try it out for yourself if you don't believe, engage someone - anyone in a conversation about a magical synchronicity that has happened in your life, get them to share on of theirs and you will see - the world is full of possibilities. The hardest part is letting go, following your instinct and allowing the occurrences to happen.
This doesn't mean you should quit your day job and allow the universe to drop a 10K project on your hands, but it does mean that if you follow your intuition and allow the road to unfold things won't be so... unclear.
If you like the sound of the Divine Synchronicity meeting, hit me up, I'll be happy to help you put one together.
