My Toughest Days of Transformation Were Full of Synchronicities and Signs

Reminders that you’re always divinely guided

Transformation is never easy. When our souls start a path of progress toward a new level of being, challenge is the name of the game. Discomfort is important.

The fabric of reality pervades your existence. You are part of the universe that we live in. As a collective, we all help each one of us to embody our best selves. So, the universe will open doors for you through events, opportunities, and even relationships.

This is the way we change our lives. We can’t do it alone. We do it together.

Your spiritual journey is your own. No one can grant you enlightenment. But the path that opens before you on this journey is often facilitated by forces outside your full control.

Opportunities materialize. People offering a new way to think enter. You’re jolted into something different. And these things are accompanied by synchronicities that tell you you’re progressing on the right path.

Animals, words that appear in unexpected places, numbers, tarot cards, and even signs manifesting in your body can all tell you that transformation is occurring.

Let me take you on a journey through the signs I saw during my most transformational moments this year.

Why Was I Seeing Signs?

I am about to explain to you some synchronicities that anyone might see when transforming. But before I begin, it may be interesting to note what I was actually transforming into.

Why was I seeing synchronicities? Why were they stepping into my life at an amplified rate?

I was shedding major karmic cycles.

I used to be a pushover. I let people walk all over me and I felt sorry for myself. I was a people-pleaser. I felt like I had no control over what happened to me in life.

But I went to a raw vegan health retreat for two weeks, and this totally changed. I was forced to confront my habits, both mental and physical. I shed a lot of karmic cycles. I understood who I really was and how to communicate my needs.

This is big. And the universe took notice.

No wonder all of nature and the workings of the universe came out of the woodwork to reassure me along the way! I never felt any doubt that I was being guided toward good decisions for my life.

Reptiles

Animals represent spiritual energies. Their appearance in our lives is never a coincidence, but of course, most people overlook them as meaningless.

During my most transformational time, I saw lizards. I was at a raw vegan health retreat center in South Florida where a lot of iguanas were wandering around. Every single day, we witnessed them moving in and out from the lake area, soaking up the sun, and giving us skeptical looks.

Smaller lizards of several shapes and sizes scurried around under the trees.

Lizards represent transformation, and iguanas show strength. This makes sense since every person on the campus of this retreat center was entering an era of transformation and strength, even the employees.

On the most impactful day there, a really gigantic toad appeared on the footpath. It just sat there, waiting for me to approach it and acknowledge it.

I knew exactly what it meant.

Within the same hour, I saw a lizard I hadn’t encountered before. It had a frill on its head and ran upright on its back legs.

Reptiles remind us of our evolution. They adapt to different environments, but they also tell us of a time in the history of the world when life was just beginning to emerge from the seas. Life began to breathe air and walk on land. We emerged from one cycle into a new one, proving to ourselves that change is good.

Change is possible. Always. And we need to evolve.

These animals appeared to remind me to never forget that part of my nature.

On this particular day, I had triumphed over my past habits and created a breakthrough for myself. I think the reptiles came to let me know that my new energy was attracting similar energy.

111’s

During this period of my life, the synchronicities in repeated numbers ramped up. It was unbelievable.

I always think that seeing 1:11, $1.11, or 111’s (and other repeated numbers) is a sign that I am on the right track. I think it’s my guides who are sending messages to keep going. The forces that are guiding me are telling me to embody my highest purpose and think positive thoughts.

This was proven true during my transformative journey.

I kept seeing 1111 on house addresses, in museums on audio tour plaques, and many other weird places. The numbers 222, 444, and 555 also showed up at times.

When you see these types of synchronicities, you are on a path toward your highest purpose.

When repeated numbers manifest, they are getting your attention to show you that you are doing something good. When it feels difficult, the numbers appear to reassure you to keep going. Although you can’t see the ending, you can feel secure in the knowledge that things will end well.

I really think that since we are connected to the whole universe, these numbers are coming from us. Our higher selves send them to us in order to help us recognize the best path to travel.

The Verse

I found a random card sitting on a counter inside the house we were staying in, and it appeared without any explanation at all. It had these words on it:

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee.” ISAIAH 41:10

I am not Christian, but you better believe that I pay attention when a random verse from the Bible appears on a random card in my path.

It’s the message that matters, not the source. This is why we must remain open-minded. Sometimes our prejudices make us blind to meaningful messages in our lives.

And yes, I truly believe that sometimes things like cards on counters materialize out of ‘nowhere’ in order to convey a message.

This verse assured me that I’m being divinely guided. I’m not alone. It tells me that my transformation is going well and that I need to just trust the universe to give me what I need.

So, pay attention when such things happen to you.

The next day after this occurrence, a psychic medium told me that I’m being strongly protected by Archangel Michael. I feel that the message on the card was real for me and that my transformation into a stronger being was divinely guided.

Stay Assured That You’re Guided

Life can get tough. I believe that there isn’t a single human who has ever had a truly trauma-free life. We live through unbelievable events in our lives in order to become better.

The signs and synchronicities are messages to us that we are doing a great job. We are becoming the best versions of ourselves.

When you see these messages, keep going on the path you’re on.

When you’re transforming from one kind of life to another, you sometimes need guidance. It can be difficult. Just know that you are divinely guided, and if you ask, you will receive an answer.

The key, I’ve found, is to remain open to the form that this answer will take.
