What is synchronicity between two people?

Synchronicity with someone can leave us with a rush of emotions and questions like why and how did this happen? What does it mean when you have a lot of coincidences with the same person? Such random interactions with a stranger happen for a reason although it could leave us feeling confused or with a profound feeling of either a sense of purpose or a sense of recognition. Have you been wondering “Why do I keep running into the same person?”

An unexpected meeting where you connect with someone you don’t know may be an attempt to remind you to pay attention to what’s going on around you. Perhaps you have been missing other important signs sent by the universe, or it could be a reminder of a lesson learned in the past that could be helpful to you now. What is the spiritual meaning of running into the same person over and over? The universe has your best interest at heart and may simply want you to know that you’re on the right track with your plans for the future or other changes you are thinking about making in your life. 

What does synchronicity mean spiritually?

Synchronicity can reveal that the connection between the ‘inner world’ and the ‘outer world’ are not separate, but the same realities. The bridge between these two dimensions is consciousness. What we perceive and experience as our physical reality, the external or physical world, is a mirror reflection of the internal or non-physical world. Synchronicities provide us with a glimpse into our unconscious minds and how it is connected to the universe and reality itself. 

Many people who constantly notice 11:11 and other repeating number sequences from the angel numbers meaning chart, appearing over and over again often consider the experience to be more than just chance or coincidence. This belief is related to the concept of synchronicity.

What is the purpose of synchronicity with another person?

Sometimes we recognize a stranger subconsciously and connect with them on a higher and deeper level than those we experience with most other people we know. In some cases, these are signs of twin flames. Not all such meetings are necessarily pleasant either. We may have an instant and strong dislike for someone and instinctively distance ourselves from them physically without knowing why.

We return to live our current reality to learn the life lessons we didn’t learn in our previous lives. The same would apply to people we knew in past lives and their souls and ours might synchronize from time to time. When our vibration levels are similar, or we previously had a close relationship and strong connection, recognition would be triggered much easier. We may have been siblings, a child, parents, perhaps lovers, or have other important or meaningful connections.

However, there is always a reason for these meetings and they often coincide with important events and changes in our lives, maybe they are there to assure us we’re on the right track, to teach us some important lesson to help us on our life path to a higher self or even to learn something from us. It is also possible that we had agreed to meet again at an opportune time, thus creating the synchronicity. Alternatively, the universe itself could have had a hand in deciding the time and place is right.

What are the signs of synchronicity?

When we are not open-minded to the concept of meaningful coincidences, it is often because there is no scientific evidence that they exist, and we might dismiss them outright as mere coincidences. Signs always appear for a reason and even though we may be open-minded to ideas, we can still miss these incredible coincidences by not paying attention to what’s going on around us. Perhaps easier said than done with the many distractions we engage in daily, social media being at the top of the list. We need to be present in the moment, pay attention, and engage with the world around us to see the signs the universe is sending us. Here are a few signs of the most seen synchronicity signs to look out for.

Repetition

When the universe tries to get our attention she’ll keep repeating the signs until we take notice. Numbers and symbols seem to be a simple and effective way to do so and for us to notice, and when we pay attention, they often jump out at us. Just like running into someone you were thinking about, we are always surrounded by synchronicity!

It can be useful to keep note of repetitions you see or hear so you don’t forget and if you’re not familiar with numerology, angel numbers, and symbols, as well as words, phrases, and songs. Research their meanings online to get an idea of how they may relate to you and your current circumstances.

Symbols such as the infinity sign, triangle, spiral, tree of life, and numbers such as 11:11, 2:22, and many more, including personal numbers significance to you are often used to catch our attention. 

Similarly, words, phrases, and songs on radio or TV show we suddenly keep seeing and hearing might be trying to give us important messages. 

Messages are often reminders for us to pay attention to our surroundings or a thumbs up that we’re on the right track with plans or changes we want to make. On the flip side, synchronicity may be a warning about something that we’ve been thinking or stressing about.

Perfect timing

Have you ever had a stroke of luck such as when you’re running late and all the traffic lights en route are green and you arrive at your destination in good time? Or do you arrive at a packed parking lot just in time to find the only parking with shade on a very hot day? You get a call from a store advising that you left your wallet behind before you even knew it was gone? Such occurrences don’t necessarily have a message, it could just be your lucky day, or the universe, or your spirit guide looking out for you. You, yourself may even have manifested the ‘good luck’ if your energy vibration is high enough to attract positive experiences, and that, in itself is a good sign. Remember to show gratitude for such gifts, no matter how small they may seem.

Spirit Animals

When an animal keeps showing up in various and unusual places or appears in your dreams, it may be your spirit or totem animal with an important message for you. All animals have their own unique symbolism and meaning. Do some research if you’re not familiar with their symbolism, it may provide the answer you need to move forward with plans.

How to understand the signs of synchronicity

While we may know some of the most common synchronicity signs we could receive, such experiences and their interpretation are unique to every one of us. We alone can understand the meaning of the messages we receive and to do so we need an open and relaxed mind, develop our intuition, practice mindfulness, and work towards raising our vibration to higher levels.

Synchronicity between friends

Children, from a very young age, will recognize a friend the very first time they lay eyes on them. Even before they are able to talk, their natural bond will be obvious. They’ll hug each other, laugh, chatter and play, and put up a fuss when it’s time to part. Such a strong bond will pass the test of time, regardless of whether move away or see each other often.

As we mature, such an instant recognition and familiarity with a stranger can be confusing but considering the instant connection, chances are the signs of synchronicity will be also there to confirm the possibility of a strong, positive relationship. Signs such as having the exact same interests regardless of how abstract they may be, reading the same book at the same time loving the same characters or chapters, and even finishing each other’s sentences, and so on. As we go through life, many more such deep friendships may form and the reason the universe brought us together is so that we can teach and learn life lessons from each other to grow and increase our vibration levels.

Synchronicity between a man and a woman (romantic synchronicity)

Could be that the person you’re meant to be with is already in your life, a friend, neighbor, or a college classmate. Out of the blue, you look in their eyes like so many times before but this time, your whole body and soul react. Your face might flush, your heart starts pounding your mouth feels dry and you want to hide. You just experienced romantic synchronicity, a deep and soulful connection with another person, perhaps for the first time ever. 

When the universe sends love our way, we may as well thank her for her gift and embrace it. If we have doubts, she’ll arrange synchronistic events to show up we until get the message. During those first days of recognition, expect to frequently hear tender love songs on the radio, and hear or see adverts for all things romantic such as restaurants or resorts offering romantic dinners or getaways for couples. Repeating numbers will probably also make an appearance, all part of setting the scene for acceptance and a deep connection to our love.

Synchronicity and soulmates

It is said, that when our souls are created, we instantly long for our soulmate, and at the same time, the universe starts sending us subtle hints using synchronicity of where to find our true love.

We set off and start our lives with a plan, also known as a ‘soul contract’ the content of which contains the details of our soul’s mission in life: our awakening, enlightenment, and ascension.

When they finally meet, the connection between soulmates is instant because of their strong affinity and similarities. Soulmates usually bring out the best in us join us on our journey to personal growth and help us see and acknowledge our strengths and our potential to aid in the greater good.

We have several soulmates during our lifetimes and they could be anyone in our lives, from family, friends, and neighbors, to colleagues or lovers. They’ve come to teach us important lessons, and they’ll leave when their mission is done, although we may meet again at different stages of our lives.

How do you use synchronicity in your life?

While the universe always has our best interests in mind, it is up to us to accept those precious gifts of synchronicity she’ll offer from time to time to help us negotiate through life to ultimately reach our goal: our awakening, enlightenment, and ascension.

 Here’s how to use synchronicity in your life:

Meditate

Meditation and yoga are excellent ways to relax and open your mind and body to receive messages of synchronicity. Done regularly, both principles will enhance your physical and soul vibration and your synchronistic experiences.

Be mindful

Practice mindfulness and be present in the moment. Distractions isolate us from our surroundings and could make us miss anything from a message we need to see or experiencing the joy of an amazing sunset. 

Be trusting

Trust that the universe and your spirit guides are there to guide you and will send you synchronicity signs when you need them. Learn to trust your intuition to follow the leading to your higher self.

Key takeaways

It is important to remember that the universe and our soul spirits are on our side. The majority of their synchronicity signs are positive with perhaps an occasional nudge to encourage a change in direction. Their goal is to guide us successfully through our life path and ultimately to our own goal of achieving awakening, enlightenment, and ascension. 

We do have the option of choice, we can heed the signs and learn the lessons to our higher self or try to ignore the signs and choose any of the paths ahead of us but we can only walk one of them at a time. The signs are not likely to stop and you could accept them again at any time, the universe will accept you back with open arms.
