A story of synchronicity from a Sacral Generator
The term synchronicity was coined by Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, and is defined as an occurrence of meaningful coincidences. Often something beyond the realm of chance happens to us, and we often say ‘what a coincidence!’ but is it really a plain old coincidence? What if there is much more to coincidences than we are led to believe? I personally believe that there are no such things as coincidences and everything in life has meaning. I really relate to Chaos Theory which is basically the science of surprises. Within the randomness, there is actually divine order. Everything has an underlying pattern and everything is inter-connected.
I recently had a series of synchronicities occur in my life that I believe were much more than coincidences. I was on the hunt for a new apartment and when making decisions I always try and follow my Human Design strategy and authority, but sometimes I supplement this by asking for a little guidance from the universe. I viewed one apartment and I came away feeling really unclear. This is because my mind was having a battle with my gut (sacral). Whilst my gut was urging me to take the apartment, by mind was really good at overriding the hell yes coming from my gut, and trying to talk me out of the decision my telling me that this apartment would lead me to become isolated from my friends as it was too far away (it really wasn’t that far) and that I couldn’t possibly live there as there was no pilates studio in walking distance (I haven’t done pilates in a year…).
Anyway, so I decided to ask the universe for a little help as I was at this point struggling to hear the voice of my sacral, which is my Human Design Authority as a sacral Generator. I asked the universe to send me an owl if I was to apply for the new apartment. Low and behold, later that day I was in the park walking Teddy (my border collie) and the first thing I saw as I entered the park was a large owl perched on a lamp post. It was so obvious I couldn’t miss it. It sat there patiently for ages giving me time to wander up to it and take photos. This was the first time I had ever seen an owl in this park, and also in this country! So was this the sign from the universe that I had been looking for, or was it a mere coincidence? Even my logical brain tells me that I have not seen a real life owl in this country in eight years, so in terms of probability of seeing one specifically after I’d ask to see one, was extremely low!
The synchronicity didn’t end there.. when I got home I watched two separate TV shows on Netflix, and on each show there was a different character with a large owl tattooed on their arms! I then thanked the universe for answering me so loudly and so clearly that I applied for the apartment there and then. To be honest with myself, if I hadn’t seen the owls that day, I would have very likely let my mind override my gut and I would have missed out on an opportunity. Following your Human Design strategy and authority really takes practice, and courage, and so this handy technique always help me when I am struggling to decipher the voice of my gut clearly or need a bit of extra confirmation. However, what it really tells me is that I should have trusted my gut all along, as it always knows the way.
