[PHYSICS | Week #3] Synchronicity
Synchronicity & Connectivity
"Dr. Carl Jung's observations were based on the rejection of a coincidental, one-dimensional life, and instead, the recognition that we engage in the world in a very complex way through our psyches, our energies, our emotions, and our actions and experiences." (Kopecky, Gaia Magazine, 2015)
I feel there has to be a level of mindfulness/awareness in how one interacts with people, situations, emotions and the world in order to experience what Jung coins as synchronicity. As I've become intentional about reconnecting to my physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, the more synchronicity has resonance with me. I continue to be less and less surprised when friends I think about suddenly contact me or events I foresee to happen eventually unfold. What I've been grappling with lately within the concept of synchronicity is how we tap into memories stored in our bodies. For instance, this week I found myself cooking more than usual and preparing dishes my grandmother made for me as a child. I later realized that my grandmother's birthday was coming up that week! Or while at the grocery store, I had a craving for fried chicken and mashed potatoes. ( I don't typically eat this meal at home). I later realized my aunt's death anniversary was approaching and that too was a meal she used to make me as a child. I put to rest the idea coincidences happen and that I am simply living my life the way I should be.
