“…Carl Jung was the first to introduce the topic of synchronicity within academia, which he defined as an acausal connecting principle, whereby internal psychological events are linked to external world events by meaningful coincidences rather than causal chains (Jung, 2010). Since then, several theoretical papers (e.g., Atmanspacher, 2018;Atmanspacher & Fach, 2013;Butzer, 2021;Main, 2018) and books (e.g., Atmanspacher & Rickles, 2022;Beitman, 2016Beitman, , 2022Combs & Holland, 1996;Main, 2007;Mansfield, 1995) have attempted to tackle the question of what synchronicity is and how it operates. These theoretical perspectives have made a valuable contribution toward understanding the topic of synchronicity.…”

The study's aim was to explore the associations between meditation, extended human capacities, and synchronistic experiences. 725 participants completed questionnaires and online tasks assessing these variables before and after engaging in personal growth workshops. The results showed that 1) meditators scored higher than non-meditators on noetic experiences and beliefs, and pre-workshop synchronistic experiences; 2) meditation frequency was associated with higher noetic experiences and beliefs, and pre-workshop synchronistic experiences; 3) meditation-based workshop participants reported more synchronistic experiences during their workshop than non-meditation-based workshop participants; and 4) noetic experiences mediated the association between meditation frequency and pre-workshop synchronistic experiences.
