Creative ManiFestival Day 4

One part of manifesting creatively is to keep a close watch for synchronicity.

Synchronicity is finding meanings between objects, people, events, symbols, and feelings.

Jung coined the term synchronicity to describe what he called the "acausal connecting principle" that links mind and matter.

He specified that there were three types of synchronicity:

- the coinciding of a thought or feeling with an outside event
- a dream, vision or premonition of something that happens in the future
- a dream or vision that coincides with an event occurring at a distance

Some scientists see a theoretical grounding for synchronicity in quantum physics, fractal geometry, and chaos theory.

They are finding that the isolation and separation of objects from each other is more apparent than real; at deeper levels, everything -- atoms, cells, molecules, plants, animals, people – participates in a sensitive, flowing web of information.

Physicists have shown, for example, that if two photons are separated, no matter by how far, a change in one creates a simultaneous change in the other!!

TODAY'S MANIFESTIVAL:

Create an illustrated synchronicity log to track synchronicities as they occur. Think of it as using hieroglyphics to tell stories and record ideas. Whenever you notice a synchronicity, express it artistically! You can draw, collage, paint, sculpt, write poetry, etc.

This serves all kinds of powerful purposes. First, if you are logging synchronicities, you'll start to SEE them more! Try it for 7 days and you'll see what I mean. Also, by recording them in a creative way, you'll be tapping into your right brain to uncover deeper and deeper layers of meaning.

Keep all of your Log Entries together so you can reflect on them and glean more and more from each event!
