Ep. 6 - Synchronicity (Karin Eglinton)

We're elated to have Karin Eglinton (karineglinton.com) join us for this episode (six!) of Existential Tetherball. Our tether this go around: SYNCHRONICITY // Karin Eglinton – a psychic reader, energy healer, astrologer, spirit worker, and psycho-spiritual coach and mentor – joins Gordon Smith and Rachel Fell to explore synchronicity and meaning. Karin begins by sharing a definition from Jeffrey Kripal, in Authors of the Impossible: "Jung’s category of synchronicity, for example, is all about what we could easily and accurately call meaning events, that is, a moment in space and time where and when the physical world becomes a text to be read out and interpreted, where and when the event is structured not by causal networks of matter but by symbolic references producing meaning." Karen sees synchronicity/meaningful coincidence as a collection of phenomena that connect the inner and the outer world in the sense of "meaning events" above. Some are "signs from the Universe", messages from deceased loved ones, from Spirit Guides, or moments of increased coherence with Self and Life. Other times they're flashes of precognition or spontaneous psychic perception. Together in Episode 6, Rachel, Gordon, and Karin co-explore: -Definition/s of synchronicity -Making meaning of meaningful events; inner proessing, translation, art of noticing/listening, somatic awareness, etc. -Reciprocity and interplay of inner/outer worlds, influenced and influencing, participatory nature of being -The intention and art/practice of living a synchronisitic life (personal stories of synchronicities shared as well!) -Trauma, ownership/attribution, nervous system, maps of meaning and psychic signals -The science behind psychic phenomeonon -Yes, more! (Rachel tries to ask Karin a question that comes out like a charctuterie board at once point) This episode will resonate with those who've experienced/are interested in "the little hop," deja vu, somatic resonance, symbology, communication, human intelligence and communication with a living universe. Thanks so much again for joining us, Karin!
