The Magic of Synchronicity

Published Tuesday June 5, 2018 by [email protected]

As a psychic/medium, I see life reflected back at me and I realize how we all inspire and help one another, and how there is an invisible thread that weaves through our lives connecting us to whom or what we need. Being psychic is not all about predictions, because as some of you might know, we create our future by being truly present in the now and listening to our hearts. When we do this, the signs & messages begin to speak to us which is truly miraculous. It can give us confidence to believe that things do not happen in a random chaotic fashion, but that somehow there is a higher order governed by something greater than we can see with our human eyes or understand with our thinking minds. The Universe is always communicating with us: in images, dreams, songs, in the words that people use, in our thoughts when we allow our minds to receive them and in a myriad of other ways. The more open we are to receive guidance, the greater our capacity to co-create our lives with the Divine. Sometimes we are too absorbed in our own fears to realize that we are loved even when we cannot see it.

Many years ago, I wanted to do a residential healing retreat in Dorset here in the U.K with a well-known healer. I felt trapped in a bad relationship, though I was, even then, helping others with their lives by giving psychic/tarot readings, making it was difficult to see a way out for myself. I decided that the retreat was too expensive, yet there was somewhere inside, I knew it was exactly what I needed. I told a client about the retreat as I felt it was what she needed, telling her that they had bursaries for those who had no money. She decided to go for it, urging me to do the same and saying that if she could apply for the bursary, then so could I. This really showed me how blocked I was and that somehow, I had taken myself out of the equation!

As I meditated on the situation & I asked to be shown the right thing to do. I consciously stepped back out of the way so that I may be able to receive the impressions from Spirit, I prayed for any fears to be lifted and for help to be given so that my path could be clearer to me. I was in this state of mind, mulling over the possibilities but still worried about money (subconsciously the fears were about change). I was alone one evening and suddenly a little blue tit flew into the living room through the open window! It flapped against the closed windows in a desperate bid to escape, not seeing the very window it had flown in by. It was a nerve wracking moment as the bird was becoming more & more frustrated and afraid. I was concerned that it would hurt itself and we ushered it out with a tea-towel. It was a relief to see the beautiful creature flying to freedom.

The very next morning when I woke, I pulled up the blinds in the living room to find the little blue tit on the balcony floor on its back. I knew immediately that this was a message for me and that the bird had come to show me how badly I needed to change my life. I knew I had to commit to the healing seminar and that when we commit to something completely, the money comes or the situation arranges itself to enable us to do what we need for our highest good. It means we are trusting in the Universal Law that says if we connect to the energy of Abundance, then that is the energy that grows. However, if we connect to the energy of Lack, that is what will unfold and manifest. After making this commitment to do the seminar, it led leaving my relationship. It was a real turning point for me on my Spiritual path and in my career. This allowed me to open up, and it led to other courses & deeper understandings for my Soul to work with. The little bird’s death was symbolic of my Soul which needed to be free. A part of me needed to die so that a new chapter could begin. My spirituality was threatening to the man I was with and I was allowing myself to be held back. It even occurred to me that the bird was my Spirit Guide appearing in that form, showing me that the door was always open for me to make that decision. Nobody was keeping me there but myself.

Whether or not you believe in Spirit Guides, Power Animals or are uncertain what to believe at all, this was for me a very powerful message which thankfully woke me up and changed the course of my life. Incidentally the seminar, which my client and I went to together, was in itself truly liberating! Change is never easy and the ego will resist until we have no choice but to surrender. Our hearts have the answers we seek. All we have to do is listen.

Listening to the Whisperings from Your Soul

If you find yourself in a crisis or you are worried about something where you don’t know what to do. These simple steps can transform the energy so that the way forward becomes clear. Set aside 15 minutes, switch off your phones or anything else that could disturb you:

Acceptance

First of all, you have to realize you are stuck & this can be a big relief. When you accept that you are unhappy with a situation and you stop resisting. It is wise to remember that what you resist persists. Whatever the situation is, breathe into the pain or confusion. The very act of consciously breathing starts to calm the mind, until gradually it is more at peace. Don’t worry if you still feel muddled or uncertain as it takes a bit of time to make the transition. The very act of paying attention to the problem & how you feel creates the beginnings of change.

Open Yourself to the Higher Mind.

Consciously step out of your own way, simply by stating that this is your intention. This way you start to take back a degree of control. You are also letting go of the smaller self which is your ego. The ego is necessary for you to get up in the morning, go through the day & gives us our human sense of self. But our ego minds can take over and then they become negative and limiting; they will always find reasons to remain in fear or not to believe in ourselves. Once you let go of the smaller mind, there is space for the Higher Mind to communicate to you. Simply open your heart to your Higher Self as this is your Soul which is who you truly are, and unlike the ego, serves your best interests. Ask for help from a guide or angel if you like; it doesn’t matter if you don’t know who they are. In doing this you are opening yourself to something better. The smaller mind may well try to get in the way, so if you find doubts and fears creeping in, just notice them and then lovingly let them go. People find it easier to focus on the breath or on a word such as “Aum”, “Love” or “Peace”. Or you may wish to play a beautiful piece of music in the background as it helps to neutralize the mind.
