Description and Table of Contents
Description
At this time many people are undergoing a profound personal transformation associated with spiritual opening. Under favourable circumstances this results in emotional healing, a radical shift in values and an awareness of the mystical dimension of experience. For some, these changes are gradual and relatively smooth, but for others, they can be so rapid and dramatic that they interfere with effective everyday functioning. Unfortunatley, many health professionals do not recognize the positive potential of these crises, but see them as manifestations of mental disease and treat them with suppressive medication. In this work, the authors draw on personal and professional experience with transformative states to explore "spiritual emergence", its complications and the changes in fortune it can bring. This book is for people whose lives are touched by spiritual emergence; for those who have experienced such a crises, for their families and friends and for mental health professionals.
