Psychic Synchronicity


Psychic Synchronicity

In the years since I started doing psychic readings professionally clients who had been trying to find the right psychic for them often came to me as a result of a chain of Synchronicities that defied the laws of probability as we
know them. One case in particular came to mind this morning when I was meditating. The client, Marina, was from Trieste, the only person from that city that I had ever met. She had emigrated to Canada in 1981 and settled in a rural area outside the city where I lived. We eventually met in 1995 but the string of coincidences that led her to me started about four months before her appointment with me.

Marina loved animals and had long wanted to have a dog. She had a strong preference for Terriers and began her search for the perfect pet by joining the Canadian Kennel Club. There she met dozens of breeders and made friends with lots of dog owners who were active in showing their animals. The first co-incidence that would eventually connect us was Marina's introduction to a friend of mine who happened to be a judge of dog shows. Fred was both a breeder and trainer of show dogs and when my husband had to travel overseas we boarded our dog, a West Highland Terrier, with him. Marina met Fred when he was showing his prize Westie for the last time before retiring him and, true to form, Bridie took first place in his set. Marina was drawn to the Westie but she had decided on a different Terrier breed and kept looking.

Synchronicity Points The Way

Months went by whilst Marina continued her search concentrating on Tibetan Terriers as her breed of choice. Then, she visited a local book shop that specialised in books of interest to animal lovers. They had volumes on everything from breeding racehorses to rare breeds of tortoises and even how to care for highly venomous spiders! Searching through the books on Terriers, Marina met a woman whose speciality was training animals for commercials and films. She worked out of Toronto but spent a lot of time in L.A. where she was working with a Tibetan Terrier who was slated to play the Dalai Lama's dog in an upcoming film. Marina had recently visited a city in the American mid-west where she had participated in the Kalachakra Initiation conducted by the Dalai Lama, a concidence which led the two women to form a friendship that eventually brought Marina to me as well!

As it happened, Leila, the dog trainer, had planned to attend a weekend retreat that I was also planning to attend and,  as luck would have it,  we were assigned to share a room.  It was a silent retreat except for an hour each evening but ,when we chatted, Leila and I discovered that we had a friend in common, a vet who looked after her animals and also happened to look after our Westie. In addition, Leila also knew the breeder where we had found our dog.Synchros 2 and 3.  The breeder would be offering a new litter for sale within two months around the time of the annual Highland Games. It just happened that the Games were to be held within a mile of the breeder's kennel. Synchro 4. My husband and I usually attended the Games with Scottish friends and their kids who always insisted we bring our well-loved Westie along. Leila had never been to the Gathering of the Clans but she decided to come and to meet my husband and me there. After the games,  we would visit the breeder together on the way home. Meanwhile,  Leila went on to invite Marina to the games as well with the idea that Marina might yet fall in love with a Westie. Synchro 5  on the chain.

The day of Games dawned hot and muggy, a typical August day and,  if I hadn't committed to meeting our Scots friends and Leila there, I might have begged off. As it happened, a thunder storm cooled things off before the Games began and made the entire afternoon far more pleasant than the morning had promised. Leila eventually found us and introduced us to Marina who was immediately charmed by our Westie. To top it off, our friend Fred (another Scot) attended the games that year (Synchro 6) and we all finished up going together to visit the breeder. The breeder was delighted to see us all approaching and the puppies she was offering for sale were even more so. After lots of petting and playing with a few puppies, Marina ended two searches that day: one for the perfect dog (she took home an adorable Westie pup named Archie) and, as a result of our conversation, she decided to come to me for a reading. Synchro 7.

I can't help but wonder at the underlying pattern of connections that let to the final outcome. Could there really be some 'grand plan' at work in our lives? The phenomenon of Synchronicity certainly seems to suggest it. Whatever the case, I can safely say that sometimes our desire to find a particular thing in life leads to finding other things like friendships, pets, and even psychics!
