Jodi calls it intuition, adoption work refers to it as the inalienable bond of biology.  The undeniable but perplexing instinct that we don't fit in seems to play a big role in many Parental Identifier/NPE experiences.  Sky Nelson-Isaacs, physicist and musician, explains his theory on synchronicity and flow and how it relates to healing the pain of disconnection and grief - central characteristics of discovering misled and falsified parentage.Fresh off the release of his new book, Living in Flow: The Science of Synchronicity and How Your Choices Shape Your World, we interview Sky on how his work relates to the NPE experience and explains the seemingly random events that lead to our discoveries.  You'll learn about the importance of the apple tree, the use of metaphor and the LORRAX - not the Dr. Seuss kind.A special musical bonus at the end  - we play out the podcast with Sky's original song, Stand for Me, that feels like it was written specifically for the Parental Identity Discovery™ community.  Learn more about Jodi's work with fellow NPE and Parental Identity Discovery™ at www.jkrabb.com or www.parentalidentitydiscovery.com.  Learn about how Christina works to find your family at www.dnasleuth.com.  Reach Sky at www.facebook.com/skynelsonisaacs/ and www.livinginflowbook.com
