I was recently asked by members of my synagogue to develop a healing prayer group. Before I could even start, I was asked to write this article. This coincidence is synchronicity at its finest.
Synchronicity is a meaningful yet acausal connection between events.
Psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote extensively on the topic, which has gained increasing popularity since the publication of The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield three years ago. Both Jung and Redfield urge us to take careful note of synchronicities and use them to further our spiritual growth. I believe that the convergence of these two events means that I am supposed to expand my group prayer practice to augment my personal prayers. Apparently I am supposed also to urge readers of Quest magazine to do the same. It is no accident that you are reading this article.
