This study examined synchronicity experiences among members of Alcoholics Anonymous. Synchronicity is a term used by Carl G. Jung to denote a kind of "meaningful coincidence," one conveying a sense of marked personal importance to the individual involved. Problems of definition and identification of these experiences are discussed and the information gathered from the subjects was employed to develop a more refined, less ambiguous definition of the phenomenon for future research. This studied identified six subjects as meeting the study's initial definition of experiencing a synchronicity event (SE). These subjects were interviewed in-depth about their experiences. Although external elements and conditions varied greatly, certain consistent themes emerged: the subjects consistently perceived the SE in spiritual terms such as being "touched by God" or "God's grace," a specific pattern of emotions and spiritual sentiment was revealed, the synchronicity experiences were viewed as important and positive, and the context of membership in Alcoholics Anonymous appeared to be central to the subject's interpretation of the event and the value placed on their experience. The pattern and tone of emotions surrounding the subjects' SE's corresponded with certain observations made by other researchers and contributed to this investigator's proposed definitional criteria for identifying SE's with less ambiguity and the potential for more empirical utility.
