“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” —Albert Einstein
In the realm of manifestation, synchronicity is that invisible force that guides you toward your (usually) intended reality. It’s the universal orchestration of seemingly unrelated events, people, and circumstances that align in remarkable ways to support your journey.
The Concept of Synchronicity
Synchronicity is the language of the universe, a series of signs and serendipitous occurrences that reveal the interconnectedness of all things. When you attune your awareness to these meaningful coincidences, you begin to recognize the magic unfolding around you.
A chance conversation with a friend, stranger, or coworker may open the door to an unexpected opportunity. A random introduction could lead to a game-changing new career, or a temporary setback could reveal a more aligned path forward. By embracing the unexpected with curiosity and trust, you unlock the doors to possibilities that may have otherwise remained hidden.
By acknowledging and embracing these signs, you open yourself to the flow of guidance whether you view that as divine guidance, spirit guides, the Dead, or weird luck, synchronicity allows the universe to lead you toward the path of least resistance and maximum potential.
“A connecting principle, linked to the invisible, almost imperceptible, something inexpressible, science insusceptible, logic so inflexible, causally connectible, nothing is invincible.” —The Police, Synchronicity
Be Open to Unexpected Opportunities
Manifestation often unfolds in ways we could never have anticipated, and synchronicity is the catalyst that presents us with unexpected opportunities. When you remain flexible and open-minded, you create space for these serendipitous — and often surreal — moments to unfold.
A chance conversation with a customer, vendor, or colleague may spark an idea for a new product or service. A random introduction could lead to a game-changing partnership, or a temporary setback could reveal a more aligned path forward. By embracing the unexpected with curiosity and trust, you unlock the doors to possibilities that may have otherwise remained hidden.

Cultivating Gratitude and Trust in the Process
To fully embrace the flow of synchronicity, you must cultivate an attitude of gratitude and trust in the process. Appreciate the signs and synchronicities that arise, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, for they are gentle nudges from the universe, guiding you toward your highest good.
Trust that the universe has a plan far grander than your limited perspective can comprehend, and have faith that every experience, every encounter, and every challenge serves a higher purpose in your journey. Sometimes what seems like bad luck at first is often Fortune disguising herself.
When you approach life with this mindset, you open yourself to the power of synchronicity, allowing the universe to reveal its secrets and guide you toward the manifestation of your deepest desires.
When and Where Are You Likely to Experience Synchronicity?
Ever wake up from a dream with a song on your mind? Then later that day, you hear that song somewhere? Sometimes this is a minor synchronicity, but not always. The Universe often likes to tease us by hiding something in plain sight. With a song, this could be the title, or a lyric that turns out to be very meaningful to you.
It’s not just songs. Maybe you’re talking to a friend about a movie you haven’t seen in ages. That night, it’s streaming unexpectedly. Or you go to a party and it’s playing in the background. Pay attention to the movie or what it’s about. It’s likely relevant to your job or life right now. When we crave to hear a certain song, it’s similar to our body craving a certain food except instead of a nutritional need, it’s an emotional or psychic need. Do not ignore these feelings.
“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” ―Franz Kafka
You’ve Experienced Synchronicity. Now What?
In a wonderful article on synchronicity in Forbes, former eBay COO, Maynard Webb gave the following advices:
- Identify what’s troubling you. You must be super-aware of the problem you are trying to solve.
- Be open to gaining insight from everywhere.s
- Sometimes this means doing something uncomfortable. Be willing to walk out of your comfort zone.
- Ask probing questions to those around you.
- Delve into how you can solve someone else’s issues.
- When synchronicity happens, seize it.
Best-selling author, Michelle Sera CFFF, CHC had a similar approach:
How to Generate Synchronicity in Your Life
- Identify the outcome
- Determine the sensory environment of the outcome
- Learn the state you must create to intentionally invoke synchronicity
- Maintain the state (using what I call, SoMA or State of Mind Augmentation™ )
Embrace the flow, and watch as the world around you conspires to support your vision, weaving together a tapestry of synchronicity that will leave you in awe of the universe’s intricate design.
