Hello everybody! Expansive with Anna Gatmon again. Another Expanding on Expansive weekly tips and teachings, and today I want to focus on miracles and how miracles manifest. So all of this week, all the posts that I have are focused on miracles and synchronistic events, which are miracles too. So synchronistic events fall within miracles, and I want to talk about how, like, what is a miracle and a synchronistic event, how to notice miracles, what to do when miracles occur, and how to use miracles to manifest.
So how to use miracles that show up in your life to manifest that which you’re focusing on or intending to create, whether it’s an issue you’re focused on, or, you know, at work or it’s a relationship issue or in some project or some intention you have.
But I want to start with a story. I want to start with a story of a synchronistic event, a miracle that happened to me and my spouse. So we’re in the process of restructuring our finances and part of doing that, we were going to change banks. We were going to go from a big bank to a local community bank. And some friends had recommended another bank. And my spouse said, you know, it’s a really good bank. So-and-so says it’s a really good bank. I wasn’t totally up for it, but I went along with it. And when he schedules an appointment and we come in at the appointed time and turns out it was double booked, there was another person that was also scheduled with the same banker for the same time that we were scheduled. The other couple that was there at the same time was about to close their account in that bank. And we were about to open our account in that bank. So the banker said, well, to close an account, you don’t need to speak to me as a banker, just go to the teller and close.
So they did that and we’re waiting for our banker. And so when this couple closed their account, we were still waiting for our banker who was with somebody else. And this couple went out. So I said, let’s go ask them why they’re leaving this bank. And so my spouse went out and, you know, I apologize for kind of this, but he really wanted to know, cause we’re about to start and to open an account here. And they said, well, we, you know, we enjoyed it here. It’s not a bad bank, but we really want to go with a community bank, which is cooperative more than the big banks because this bank is a local bank, but still connected to an international bank. And I just saw that as a sign. I said, ”how possible is it that at the same time that we’re here to open an account, there’s a double booking with a client who is about to close and they’re moving to the community bank that we originally wanted to move to, or the one that we wanted to move to?” And so we said, thank you to the banker, “We’ll see you some other time. We’re going to think about it.” And we went straight to the other bank to the community bank, opened our account and are very, very pleased, both philosophically and with a service.
So this moment where we were going to the bank and this events that happened, that is a synchronistic event for me. And it’s a miracle, it was two events that happened at the same time, but it’s a miracle because how can it be, right? That is like, we’re surprised when there’s a miracle, right? It’s like, how is this possible? But I was attentive. And I could’ve said, okay, they’re closing an account and we’re opening, but I was not completely satisfied with the bank that we were going to. And so here I was given an opportunity to think differently about our decision and I just went with it. And so this has everything in it. It has the miracle or the synchronistic event, the surprise, the uplifting of like, wow, how cool is that, that this happened at the same time, how unusual? And then I acted upon it because that’s one of the things that you need to do with miracles is act upon them. So this is the story, but now I’m going to go into explaining to you how miracles work.
So the two posts that I have from this week about miracles that I want to share with you are one is miracles is perceiving, hidden connections, which take you by surprise and remind you that you are not alone. That you’re part of an interdependent home. So he’s perceiving hidden connections. And I’ll explain that in a moment more. And the other post is that miracles uplift our spirit because we go like, Oh my God, how cool is that? How is that possible that this happened at the same time? Or how is it possible that this book just showed up in my field of you when I’m just needing exactly what the book’s about? Right? So miracles uplift our spirit and remind us that we are part, of a wondrous interconnected whole.
So how do miracles manifest? What happens is that we are part of a whole wholeness, part of a web of life. We’re interconnected and interdependent. And it’s not just some philosophical idea. We see it in every area of our life more and more. We see it in politics. We see it in social structures. We see it in finances. What we do affects others and what others do affects us, and what we do to our planet affects our planet and what, when we break down the system or our ecological systems, and then there’s a backlash of fires, you know, fire seasons or droughts or floods, it affects us back. So we are connected and interdependent, but we’re not aware of, of it all the time. When we’re in expanded state of consciousness, we become aware of more of the connection and interdependence. But most of the time are walking around as you know, I’m Anna, you’re you, our body we’re incarnate into this individuality. That’s me, that’s you. And so we’re not aware of the interdependence and the interconnectedness, but it is there.
And consciousness is the realm where everything is. It’s like an ocean, an ocean, a flow that’s connected. Information moving back and forth all the time informing each other, right? The spiritual world, right? That is there. We are connected. There, there is the wholeness it’s in the material world that there’s the separation and both have value. So it’s not one is better than the other, you know that I’m all for spiritual-material unity and spiritual-material balance in order to create true spiritual-material abundance. But it’s in the spiritual realm, in the level of consciousness that everything is interdependent interconnected.
And so what happens is that when we focus our consciousness becomes focused on an issue on a problem or on a goal on a dream. Something we are putting our mind to in our conciousness is busy with that. It’s in our field of consciousness. It sends information to this field, this flow of wholeness. And that’s what the law of attraction is, right? The universe, it seems, is beginning to answer what we are directing our attention to becuase this flow information is going back and forth and back and forth. And it’s becoming focused to realize and to manifest, but we’re not aware of all the intricate connections that start working and that are set in place. Plus everybody else’s and everything else is center and their intricate connections with us. We’re not aware of all of that. So what happens is that suddenly something shows up that fits exactly what we need or feels like, how cool is that? This is a miracle or this is a synchronistic event. And we go, wow. As if out of nowhere and we can’t trust it because our logical mind goes like, Oh, and culturally we’ve been taught that’s not possible.
So in a sense, miracles are just occurrences that we become aware of, of this web. That’s constantly flowing and informing each tentacle. You know, each part is informing each other and we are, you know, creating intending something. And we begin to see things that relate to that, but we don’t see logically how it occurred. And so we call it a miracle. We call it magic, we call it a synchronistic event. So that is what a miracle is, synchronistic event. And this is how they work. Okay. They appear suddenly. But it really is part of the web. We’re just suddenly paying attention to it without the sequential of how it came to that. And we’re going magic, miracle. So how can you pay attention more to miracles and how can you live a charmed life?
So the four keys to spiritual-material balance speak to that, because the first key is expansive presence. What you want to do is expand your consciousness, right? If your consciousness is narrow, this is all the field that you’re aware of. If you expand your consciousness and it is much larger, you take in a larger field of information, right? And so you want to expand your consciousness, which you could do. There’s so many ways in my book, in my videos on YouTube and here, I mean, it’s just there’s a lot about it, but you could even just say, just to say, I’m focusing on so-and-so. I want to create this. Or I have an issue with so and so and I would like to be more alert and attentive. I would like to expand my scope of attention and be mindful to subtle informations that show up to synchronistic events, to miracles, to magical moments that may seem magical and miracle. But that will inform me how to solve my issue, how to move forward, how to pivot what to do next. It’s enough that you ask that if you just have that intention, you’re already more spacious when you ask for that and you’re already committing when you say that to be more attentive. So the first step, the first key is to create the spaciousness, the expansive presence.
And then the second key to spiritual-material balance is attentive listening. So you don’t want to effort to find the solution. You want to relax into an ease that’s when you can listen, attentively, both to inner wisdom, gut feeling, intuitive hunches, a heart sense, or you become aware of external events that show up that might really help you move forward. So suddenly the book shows up that you go like, wow, how did this book show up or a message in it? Even I’ve had some times I watched like romcoms, like cheesy movies, but there’s one sentence there. And I go like, Oh my God, this is just, this is perfect for what I need to hear right now. Sometimes you have a book has been sitting on the table or sitting in your library forever. And you have, you don’t even recall that you own this book, but now with this new awareness, you go like, wow, I’ve never noticed this, but I forgot. Yeah, I got it. And I had it, but now you’re listening to information. That’s going to guide you towards manifesting. And so suddenly it feels like, wow, this book showed up and I had noticed it for years, miracle, magic. So this is the way to live a seemingly charmed life is to live in more of an expansive alertness, to a larger field of consciousness and see connections between things and go, this is a message for me.
This could be something I need to pay attention to now, because this might relate to what I am focusing on. And the more you do it, the more you go, Oh, this piece of information is for this issue. Oh, this just happened. This informs this, wow. This informs that there is constant information all the time and you’re not paying attention to everything. You couldn’t. We be overwhelmed, right? The brain is there to categorize and put things, you know, in groups and make orders so that we can function in the world right in the material world. But when your consciousness is aware of something is focused on something is intending something. You begin to see different messages, pieces of information that can help you the way. So that is how you can be more attentive to miracles and synchronistic events and, you know, pay attention to them.
Now there’s two things to do when they occur. One is to act upon it because they are there as part of the whole telling you look at the book, listen to what the person said. In our case of the bank story, it’s reevaluate. Do you want to be in this bank? Or do you want to go to the other bank? It’s as if something said stop for just one more minute, we could have decided to stay in this bank, but something in this final, before we signed up for a new bank, these guys leaving and we talking to them and them saying, you know, we just want to be in a community bank. Just feels philosophically, right for us. That’s what I needed to hear in order to say, let’s go, let’s do that too, because that’s what I feel. I was going with the other one. And you know, you lead the way, but no. So how do they just show up in our mind exactly. How do they show up in our life in our day, at that day? Exactly. That’s the beauty of the world, that wondrous world that we live in. So the first thing is to act upon it. We acted upon it and we decided to go to the community bank. We could have decided to think it over and say, no, let’s stay in this bank, but it allowed us to think it through one more time.
The second thing that you got to do is appreciate this moment, appreciate the wondrous world that we live in, in our material world. We see everything is separate. And so we think we’re alone. But in a sense on the level of consciousness and in the spiritual realms, everything is connected like an ocean. And so to see these miracles show up, to support you in your endeavors, in solving a problem, a challenge, an issue you have, or to realize that dream or goal and intention that you have, the universe is a loving universe, helping you to do that. And so to take a moment and stop, when you see a miracle, cause a miracle uplifts our spirit, right? It’s like, wow, wasn’t that cool? How did that occur? That is uplifting. It’s exciting. There’s hope in the world if there’s magic, because everything is possible, then you don’t have to live by how we’ve lived before and be stuck there. We can break the boundaries and live in this wondrous charmed life on this wondrous charmed planet. And so taking this moment of seeing the sacredness of the interdependent world that we are in and appreciating the world and having gratitude for that, for the magic in this world, for how wondrous it is, is one thing.
And the second thing is to appreciate yourself because it takes dedication to listen attentively. It’s not efforting, but you still need to decide that you’re going to listen attentively. Many times you have to go against what people think when a magical event shows up or a miracle shows up and you have to go with that because that feels right against what everybody says. I mean, even in my case, I gave into my spouse, wanted to go to this bank because friends of his were very pleased with our businesses there. That wasn’t enough for me, but I went with it. But when the miracles showed up, the synchronistic event showed up. It gave me the courage to say let’s shift and go with where our heart is. And so appreciate yourself for the courage. Often when miracles show up to do something that’s not logical rational or what everybody expects you to do, you go with the larger whole. So appreciate the world, appreciate yourself and act upon it.
So I hope that this helps you to know how miracles manifest, how you can show up for them more fully and become more attentive to these occurrences that show up. And they show up all the time for, for big life events, but for small things, for tiny things. You know, going to the store and the last minute is like my mindset, Oh, I forgot this. You know, that is the, the, in the consciousness level, everything is working and going, don’t forget this. And I go like, thank you for reminding me. I would have gone to the store without this. So I have this moment of gratitude that in the more subtle world or in the level of consciousness or spirit, I’m receiving guidance and information, I’ve got a whole team working for me and working with me and I’m working for them, right? It’s a collaboration like this.
So go out and have lots of miracles, pay attention to all the miracles in your life. It’s enough to look out on a tree or a bird singing or a flower and feel that there’s a miracle looking yourself in the mirror, knowing that you’re a miracle of creation and I’ll be here next week.
Again, I’ll see you again next week with another Expanding on Expansive weekly tips and teachings. Blessings.
