3 Tips To Find Meaningful Coincidences In Your Life, From An Expert

Below, find Beitman's tips to make sense of the coincidences in your life:

In fact, that's why people who defined themselves as spiritual reported seeing more coincidences, as Beitman's survey demonstrates. When people have a more spiritual mindset, they are inherently more comfortable with the fact that we encounter unexplainable circumstances beyond our control—like random coincidences—which then primes them to recognize even more of them. "If you're open to them, you see them," Beitman adds.

For example, many people (Beitman included) believe dogs have the ability to read your emotions, which is why your pet may instinctively know if you're sick or sad. You may also hear of incredible stories where someone faces a sudden emergency, and their dog—miles away from the scene—starts wildly barking for seemingly no rhyme or reason. "There's a consciousness in dogs," Beitman says. There's a consciousness in every living thing if you take the time to connect with them—even plants. "Trees have given me good advice," adds Beitman. "The forest communicates with me."

So after you come across a coincidence, first decide whether it's worth paying attention to (see, you may experience numerous random coincidences in your life, but not all of them require your full focus). Then you can make the decision to follow it through—or not. Dealer's choice! "What are you going to make out of this?" Beitman poses. "It's a signpost, but you don't have to take it. You don't have to follow it. It's not a command." 

Coincidences happen more often than you think, and they can provide tons of possibilities when you're open to them. "Coincidences are pretty common, and they become portals to new realities," Beitman adds. It's just up to you to actually follow them through.
