Many years ago, during my saga, I became aware that 11 was a “spirit” number for me. I would often find two pennies during times of crisis and I at first took these as signs of the traditional interpretation “pennies from heaven.” I’d pick up the pennies and be-bop along for a few minutes, happy for my little divine sign.
Since it was almost always two pennies, I realized that 1-1 itself was significant. I had a friend tell me at one point that 11 was her power number. She had no idea that I had been finding two pennies for a long time. So, I took it on that 11 was my power number as well. After I realized this, I started to find a dime and a penny—another configuration of 11—everywhere I went, beyond just the two pennies. I wrote a little about it Confessions of a Mystic Soccer Mom in “Money Crumb Trails.”
Over the years, this power number has continued to expand, especially to include multiples of 11, such as 22, 33, 44, etc. For example, when we moved into the house we still reside in 12 years later, I knew the house was right for us, because part of the house number was 22, part of the street number was 88, the zip code 55, the highway exit 77, phone numbers had 11 and 44 in them. These numbers showed me the Divine was providing us the right house at the right time. Even beyond multiple of 11s, the next progression was seeing a pair of doubles, such as 2233 and 9911, everywhere I went. I was doing a lot of driving during rush hour those years and I would quite literally “follow the numbers” on the license plates that showed up around me to help me navigate safely through traffic jams. If I didn’t know which street or route was the best to go on, I’d notice a car with some multiple of 11s and follow it. I was being guided by the numbers on a daily basis.
Then a couple of years ago, I selected my theme for the year, which I do every year in January: I said to the universe, “This year, show me how holographic you are.” And wouldn't you know, that year, I started to see triples of numbers: 111, 222, 333, etc.,—hilariously so, sometimes. I’d be driving along and every car I passed had a triple number on the license plate. Signs would too. One time I laughed and told God, “You’re just showing off now.” I then drove by a van with 777 on the license plate with “Thank God 24/7” painted on the side of it!
My family didn’t really believe how prevalent these occurrences were until I started pointing the numbers out as they rode along in the car with me. I once pointed them out to a mystic friend when we were driving together, and we laughed all the way home. It’s really funny how absurdly the universe makes these numbers apparent. But maybe you had to be there.
Anyway, it has continued and expanded even more since then, often including 4 or more repetitions of numbers, and even letters. Just the other day, I drove down the hill from our house to drop my daughter off at the bus stop. It’s a residential area and not a lot of traffic. However, in that one mile of driving down the hill I saw 111, 222, 333, 0000, 555, 777 (2x), and 8888. On the way back up the hill I saw 999 and 444. That’s how bizarro it can be as I experience these numbers on a daily and sometimes hourly basis.
During an intuitive dream I had a few months ago, I received the insight that I needed to create a Reiki class with these numbers. These numbers carry particular messages (as in numerology) but therefore also energies. Thus, a Reiki numbers class will allow you to learn about, be attuned to, and transmit these number energies in your own life! Reiki is a great modality for transmitting energy to yourself, your loved ones, your pets, your home, the body of your affairs in the world, nature, and if you choose to go into a healing practice, your clients. Stay tuned for more!
And wouldn’t you know? Right after I wrote the first draft of this I found three pennies together on the ground. And a week later, today, right before I wrote the final draft, I found another three pennies together.

What numbers do you see a lot? What significance do they have for you? I know a lot of people see 11:11, which I believe is a sign that more of us are awakening. I also believe it to be a sign of divine alignment. Enjoy!
