research in transpersonal psychology

Research in transpersonal psychology explores how spiritual, transcendent, and peak experiences influence well-being and personal growth. It examines phenomena beyond the traditional psychological focus on mental health, such as meditation, mystical experiences, and altered states of consciousness. Using scientific methods, researchers aim to understand these experiences' effects on individuals’ sense of purpose, connectedness, and self-transcendence, contributing to holistic approaches to psychology and mental health. This field seeks to integrate spiritual insights with psychological understanding to promote wholeness and human potential.
