Spiritual Synchronicity in Action
Today I had the fortuitous honor of reading the spiritual vows for a couple as they were married on the beach here in my small community. We’ve known the bride for many years and just met the groom. The couple had engaged a marriage commissioner to perform the legal part of the ceremony, but the regulations governing her license forbid her to read vows that mentioned the word God.
That’s where I came in. It was synchronicity in action once again – the bride asked me to read the vows as a longtime family friend, not knowing that I had trained in the very spiritual discipline the wedding vows came from. It is the Paramahansa Yoga tradition, and I took the 5 day meditation training in 2001. The groom has been a practitioner of this form of krya yoga meditation for many years, the bride is a Buddhist.
Meditation was an important part of my life and my spiritual process several years ago. Recently I’ve begun to meditate again, tentatively, in a small way. Today’s event has encouraged me to move forward in my daily practice. Everything happens for a reason.
