Transpersonal Psychology Section
All the major spiritual and mystical traditions of the world include teachings about the nature of mind and promote practices and lifestyles intended to bring about psychological transformation.
About
Human beings frequently have ‘transpersonal’ experiences in which our awareness expands and intensifies.
Sometimes these occur spontaneously, in the midst of every activities and situations, and outside the context of religion or spirituality.
Transpersonal psychology investigates spiritual practices and experiences, researching their value and their relationship to the models and concepts of psychology.
