Are you seeing 11:11 often throughout the day, weeks, months?
Have you ever wondered if you’re on the right path and then the Universe starts sending you transmissions in numbers or synchronicities?
11:11 Keeps Popping Up—Is It a Sign?
I’m sipping coffee, mid-scroll on my phone, when it happens again—11:11 stares back at me from the screen. I blink. Shake my head. “Seriously?” I mutter. It’s not a one-off. This number’s been tailing me for weeks—on clocks, receipts, my car’s mileage. Every time, my gut does this little flip, like it knows something I don’t. As a mindfulness practitioner who’s all about tuning in—body, mind, spirit—I can’t ignore it. Something’s up.
Maybe you’ve been there too. You glance at the clock, see 11:11, and wonder, “Is this a sign? A glitch? Am I losing it?” Spoiler: you’re not. That’s the universe—or maybe your own soul—tapping you on the shoulder. Back in 2017, I started digging into this 11:11 thing, and now, in 2025, it’s still rocking my world. Let’s unpack what it means, why it matters, and how it ties into spiritual synchronicity and living with purpose. No fluff—just real talk from someone who’s been there.

11:11: The Wake-Up Call You Didn’t Ask For
Numbers aren’t just math—they hum with energy. Pythagoras, the Greek genius, figured that out centuries ago, saying the universe runs on a precise, vibrating rhythm. Fast forward to now, and numerology backs him up: numbers like 11:11 carry a pulse, a message. For me, it’s personal. When 11:11 flashes, I feel it—a direct line opening between my busy brain and something bigger. Call it Source, Spirit, or just my deeper self—it’s like a text from the cosmos saying, “Hey, pay attention.”
Carl Jung called these moments “meaningful coincidences”—synchronicities that line up with your inner vibe. Picture this: I’m wrestling with a big decision, doubting my path, and bam—11:11 hits. Then a client emails me out of the blue, or a song on the radio nails my mood. It’s not random. It’s the Law of Attraction in action—my thoughts, my energy, pulling opportunities my way. In 2025, with life moving at warp speed, these nudges feel like a lifeline to stay grounded and true.

My 11:11 Story: From Doubt to Drive
Back in 2017, I’m in a slump—teaching yoga, writing, but feeling stuck. Then 11:11 starts stalking me. I’m skeptical at first—numbers don’t talk, right? But it’s relentless. One night, I’m journaling, asking, “What’s next?” and my clock flips to 11:11. My pen stops. My chest tightens. It’s not a wish-on-a-star moment—it’s a do something moment. I feel this surge, like my spirit’s saying, “You’re ready. Move.”
That’s when I lean in. Meditation gets deeper. Ideas flow faster. I start a project I’d been dodging, and doors swing open—collaborations, clarity, purpose. It’s not constant—11:11 ebbs and flows, showing up when I’m on the cusp of a leap. In 2025, it’s still my signal: thoughts are turning real, fast. Doubt creeps in? I breathe, refocus, and trust the ride. Ever felt that spark—like your soul’s got your back? That’s 11:11 for me.
“Basically, seeing 11:11 is a trigger point of awareness, an “awakening code”. You are starting to awaken to your fullest potential of who you really are. There’s a stirring deep inside, as a hint of remembrance of something long forgotten. It’s time now to take a good look around you and see what is real and what is illusory. It is time to pierce the veils of illusion, which have kept us bound to an unreal world. The revealing or revelation most likely will occur in stages that may be uncomfortable and unsettling at first, yet you will yearn to explore deeper and fuller” (Wave 1111).
What’s 11:11 Really Saying? Let’s Break It Down
For me, 11:11 isn’t “make a wish”—it’s “make it happen.”
Here’s the scoop, straight from numerology and my own practice:
The Power of 1: You’re the Spark
Number 1 is the kickoff—bold, independent, creative. It’s about new starts and trusting your gut. “You create your reality,” it whispers, echoing mindfulness teachings. Thoughts shape your world—own them.
” 1 – Imaginative and self-sufficient; powerful; bold; independent; dominant. The 1 is the initiator, the first to strike off on their own path. 1s are also indicative of beginnings and a time to be alone” (Oranum)
” Number 1 resonates with the vibrations and attributes of new beginnings and starting afresh, independence and individuality, initiative and assertiveness, ambition and motivation, success and leadership, courage and strength, creation and creativity, self-reliance and tenacity, attainment, happiness and fulfillment, innovation, self-development and oneness with life. Number 1 reminds us that we create our own realities with our thoughts, beliefs, intentions and actions.” (sacredscribesangelnumbers)
” Number 1 resonates with the vibrations and attributes of new beginnings, creation, independence, uniqueness, motivation, striving forward and progress, ambition and will power, positivity and positiveness. Number 1 also resonates with the energies of pioneering, raw energy, force, activity, self-leadership and assertiveness, initiative, instinct and intuition.” (Joanne Sacred Scribes)
11: The Intuitive Edge
Double it to 11, and it’s a master number—sensitive, visionary, spiritual. It’s your intuition on high alert, nudging you toward truth. Studies on mindfulness show intuition sharpens when you’re present—11’s your cue to listen.
” 11 – Motivating; sensitive; leading by example; creativity in lifestyle. The consummate leader and motivator. Caring, sensitive and willing to sacrifice, 11s are also creative and fun-loving”(Oranum)
” According to numerology the number 11 possesses the qualities of patience, honesty, spirituality, sensitivity, intuition and is idealistic. I have read on a website that seeing 11:11 can be viewed as a glitch in the matrix, it is a very real way for the spirit world to communicate with us.” (in5d: 1111 Significance)

11:11: The Portal Opens
Four ones? That’s an energy gateway, says numerology expert Doreen Virtue. Your thoughts are manifesting at lightning speed. In 2025, with AI and noise everywhere, it’s a call to focus—positive vibes in, fears out.
“111, 1111: These signs indicate that your thoughts are correct for the new cycle of your life and they are on your Spiritual Path. Continue with and follow these, as these thoughts relate to a new cycle in your life that is on your Spiritual Path.” (in5d: Number Sequences)
“So, Angel Numbers are a shorthand code between you and your angels. In the case of 1’s, they represent the post of an energy gateway. The more 1s you see, the stronger the path is.” (Doreen Virtue)
How to Roll with 11:11 in 2025
Caught 11:11 lately? Here’s how I ride it:
- Pause and Breathe: Three deep breaths, eyes closed. Ask, “What’s real right now?” It’s mindfulness 101—grounds you fast.
- Tune Your Thoughts: Jot down what’s on your mind when it hits. Positive? Run with it. Negative? Flip it.
- Move With It: Start that thing you’ve been stalling—journal, stretch, call someone. 11:11’s your green light.
Try it. Tell me what shifts—I’m all ears in the comments!
In practical terms, this means that your thoughts are going through a cycle where they are manifesting instantly into form. You think it, and boom! It happens. When these cycles occur, it’s extra important to keep your thoughts focused upon your desires, and to stay positive. Otherwise, your fears may manifest instantly. You can ask Heaven to uplift you, so that your thoughts are focused upon the highest possibilities.
