The term 'synchronicity' gained popularity in spiritual and self-help circles, particularly in the United States and Brazil. In Brazil, it's commonly discussed in contexts of spirituality, personal development, and psychology. The concept resonates strongly with New Age movements and those interested in Jungian psychology. In Portugal, it's similarly used but may appear less frequently in everyday conversation. Both cultures often reference synchronicities when discussing fate, destiny, or meaningful life events.
