There is no such thing as Coincidence, only Synchronicity!

Ever had that feeling that something is going to happen, then it does? You think of someone...the phones rings, and it's them? I was in Leeds shopping on Saturday. It is only the third time I have been in the 4 years I have been back in the UK. Suddenly, as I walked aimlessly through crowds of blank faces I heard spirit. "You are going to see and talk to someone whom you have not seen for years". I remember smiling and suddenly, feeling less alone. Within minutes an elegant young lady shouted "Jax". It took me several moments to recognise the individual. It was my friend "Liv" from Spain whom I have not seen or heard of for 6 years. Somehow we both knew we were going to "bump" into each other. For some unknown reason, I had mentioned her only last night when reminising about life in Spain with my mother. My friend had only moved to Leeds from Spain less than a week ago. Coincidently, Liv informed me that she had been thinking of me during the week.
Synchronicity is when meaningful coincidences link seemingly unrelated and unconnected events for a reason. I believe is an an alignment of "universal forces" with the life experiences of an individual. In other words, many coincidences are not merely due to chance, but instead reflect the creation of an event or circumstance by the coinciding or alignment of such forces. The process of becoming intuitively aware and acting in harmony with these forces is what is labelled "individuation". An individuated person can actually shape events around them through communication of their consciousness with the collective consciousness. For me, this seems to be a daily occurance.
So, our reunion was meant to happen.
This also reminds me to send out positive energy to the universe and be responsible for my thoughts. From experience, I know things have a habit of swirling around and slapping you back in the face at a later date...
