How the Synchronistic Events of Life Mirror Our Choices

A Scientific Mechanism for Being in the Right Place at the Right Time:

 

Physicist Sky Nelson-Isaacs presents a scientific mechanism for being in the right place at the right time – synchronicity. Every day, with synchronicities as stepping stones, life experiences are calling you forth toward a greater sense of fulfillment and accomplishment. Furthermore, each of us in our own way walks through life asleep to our power to create change. Listen to this episode and learn how living in flow helps us stop repeating stubborn patterns of experience. Also, learn how can we discover choices we’re making which may be having undesirable consequences. Furthermore, learn how we can change unconscious opinions or feelings that are getting in the way of pivoting. Finally, when we become aware of ways that we want our behavior to change, we can accomplish that change more quickly and more lastingly.

Episode Highlights:

  • First Emily introduces Sky. 
  • Then Sky talks about his new Living in Flow Course and explains how the course can help people.
  • After that, Emily asks Sky about two examples in her life where synchronicity can be applied.
  • Next, Sky walks Emily through an exercise entitled “synchronicity as a process of healing.” 
  • The core idea is we’re always creating the circumstances for ourselves to be able to hear.
  • Synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence. An unexpected situation that falls in place meaningfully. 
  • Sky talks about practices he uses to help with anxiety and worry.
  • Also, Sky reminds us that we really need to understand the problem we’re trying to solve. 
  • Usually, the problem comes from an emotion we’re trying to avoid.
  • We don’t have to change the hidden feelings. Just  make them visible.   
  • Sky talks about how we have to take actions to set synchronicity in motion. 
  • In other words, it starts with us.
  • Sky talks about his two books.
  • Then, Emily asks Sky about his future. What’s next?
  • Sky replies that his comfort zone is thinking about what else he’s going create but now he needs to be more present in his current life. 
  • He will help others make use of what he already created. 
  • Sky urges us to set stage and be present for opportunities that show up.
  • We need to recognize our choices and that we have choices as to how we respond. 
  • In other words, we have capacity to influence our life and our communities.
  • Finally, show up as who you want to be in the world, You’ll make a huge difference!

 

About the Living in Flow Course:

The Living in Flow Course is a self-paced video series with 18 short videos, each providing actionable insights for experiencing flow more readily in your life, plus a longer video introducing the scientific ideas supporting synchronicity.

How do we make choices that make our experience of life better? By understanding and seeing how the synchronistic events of life mirror your choices, you get clarity on what you really want, see opportunities to get there, and can dissolve the inner obstacles which keep you from taking the actions you need to take. 

After taking the Living in Flow Course you will feel confident in your next step even when you can’t see the end zone. You will be able to get back into flow anywhere and anytime, and stay steady in the midst of life’s twists and turns. We weren’t given a manual when we were born. Except we were: flow is that manual.
