In this show we spoke about the wonderful topic of synchronicity: what it is, how it can show up, what it could mean and how you can experience more of it!
I’d love to know what YOU think about this week’s show. Let’s carry on the conversation… please leave a comment below.
What you’ll learn from this episode:
We seem to see more synchronicities the more we’re on our path – that’s certainly been my experience of synchronicities.
I love how Chris described humans as not being confined to these physical bodies, we can fly as per Einstein’s “Spooky action at a distance”.
Be open: you will see more. Notice what you notice! Pay attention, for example… write down dreams, talk to others about synchronicity, follow your intuition.
