Synchronicity: Empower your life path with the gift of coincidence

Synchronicity is the uncanny and fortuitous timing of events that seems, compellingly, to go beyond pure chance. This book explores the phenomenon of synchronicity and reveals how it can guide us along our life path, helping us through challenging times and nudging us toward self-fulfilment. Successful psychologist Chris Mackey writes from personal experience, not only as a practitioner but also as a patient who has suffered periods of serious mental illness. He began his career as a rationalist with little time for non-scientific approaches, but gradually his own experiences and those of his patients convinced him that synchronicity has a valuable role to play in helping us to tap into our intuitive and spiritual selves and guiding us through life. He now passionately believes that we need a new 'positive psychiatry' that embraces our transcendent experiences, such as of synchronicity, and explores the opportunities for personal development offered by depression and states of mind that can often be dismissed as a form of psychosis. This exciting new approach to synchronicity and the treatment of depression and other mental disorders will be of great interest to practitioners and patients alike, as well as to anyone interested in the opportunities offered by altered states of consciousness and by the phenomenon of synchronicity. The book includes: Carl Jungs original description of synchronicity A respected psychologists own stories of synchronicity and striking examples from his clients Brain science related to synchronicity Practical ways to work with synchronicity including journalling, symbol analysis and dream interpretation.
