Carl Jung coined the term synchronicity to describe a series of coincidences that are experienced by various people. Yesterday began with a challenging decision to make. It ended up being a magical day where the Universe conspired to provide some memorable moments.
Inspiration
I’m a great believer that the Universe sends us inspiration in various ways. I’ve found that random songs on the radio will be played to help with mindset. My mind was on my decision, when a song came on the radio. It was upbeat and lifted my energy. I mentioned the name of the song to the participants in the Mental Health workshop and they all knew the words.
The afternoon Art Therapy workshop.
After the introductions we did an exercise with eyes closed to help with mindfulness. A few moments passed and time to open their eyes. There was much merriment when one of the group discovered that she had been drawing with the blunt end of her pencil!
Just as the 
group had started to share their individual experiences a large dragonfly flew in through the open door.
Dragonfly is a symbol of transformation, change and new beginnings. A perfect visitor to the Art Therapy room.
Many cultures celebrate the symbolism of Dragonfly. In India, it is thought to represent intuition, which is something that Art Therapy helps to develop. Japanese people believe that the Dragonfly represents courage and rebirth.
The visit tied in with the intent of the activities and the group members in sharing their own interpretations of their work, and how they have started their transformational journeys.
The two hours always seems to pass so quickly. We finished off the session with an oracle card from the Spirit Warrior deck. Each person got a card and again the Universe dealt a card that had meaning to that person as well as resonating with the whole group. Random events? I’m sure that the Universe has a message for everyone. You just have to be listening.
Time to go home and prepare for an evening client. Yet another song on the radio helped me to centre myself. Things will be alright!
