I am a health care practitioner in Chinese medicine. In the last year and a half I have gone through a series of crises, each life challenging and life altering. My mother, who has Alzheimer’s had a major stroke. The same week our family home (my mother’s home-the home I grew up in) was destroyed by a flood and we lost everything. Nothing was saved. My 15 year marriage is ending and I discovered my husband was having an affair. I went to get away and left to relax in Mexico and got in a car accident there. I had a head injury. I will recover, but it left me with concentration problems and short term memory loss. I need to move from my current home and start my life over as I am still in the middle of a very unhealthy situation. I know what I must do, and I want to open my practice in another place. It is the perfect time now that I have no ties and my plan is in place, yet I am frozen! I can hardly concentrate on the tasks at hand. The universe is presenting an amazing opportunity to me yet I am having so much difficulty going forward. I don’t know what to do or the best way to heal. Emotionally and spiritually I am just treading water. It is all so overwhelming and i find myself wasting massive amounts of time and delaying and delaying. What is wrong with me? I would be forever grateful if someone could point me in a more positive direction. Which direction do I go to heal??

I was just reading the Chopra Center newsletter for this month and came across your entry on Synchrodestiny. I was quite responsive to this, as I especially feel lately my life has been guided by the universal consciousness, however there is a part of my rational mind that is frustrated in trying to make sense of life’s occurrences.

On March 2, I arrived in Tokyo on a performance contract for one year. After being there for just 9 days, Japan was with the tragic earthquake/tsunami which put many people’s lives on a 180 degree turn. As performers, we were given the choice to go home for a few weeks until the atmosphere supposedly calmed down a bit, and were to return at the beginning of April if we chose to. I was pondering this decision to go back to Japan, meditating, researching, discussing with family and friends, and finally decided that I would head back to Japan on April 7.

The morning of April 7 i felt quite uneasy about returning and still questioned if it was safe over there or not. Only one hour before I was supposed to board the plane, i received word of the 7.1 aftershock that hit northern Japan. As I was sitting in the airport, it felt as if my entire mind was going through an earthquake of thoughts and my immediate reaction was to not get on the plane to go back. I saw i had many missed phone calls and emails from concerned family/friends and that gave me the signal to pull my bags from the flight. In the end, I will not be traveling back to Japan for this performance contract.

Here is where my question lies in these messages from the universal consciousness. Was this big aftershock a sign from the universe or just a mere coincidence? My ego cant justify why the universe would have me uproot my contented life in Florida, to then experience one of the most tragic earthquakes in history, to come back to my home in NY, decide to leave for Japan and then finally bring me right back to where I started.

If you could please share your insights on synchrodestiny in regards to signs from higher consciousness, intuition, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much. Namaste!
