What is transpersonal
Transpersonal - is the newest and a very effective area of Psychology and Psychotherapy.
Transpersonal psychology is research and therapy into the depths of the psyche, personality development and consciousness dynamics processes. It takes a philosophical and scientific view of the experience, techniques and concepts of religious and spiritual traditions of the world. A creative and self-actualizing person is a typical object of studies and practice. However, Transpersonal Psychology can be useful to any human being as it specializes in the study of consciousness - that common element and characteristic of being human.
Transpersonal is the path to our real selves, revealing hitherto unknown ways and places.
Transpersonal is self-discovery!
We discover ourselves in certain situations that are evaluating and challenging us. Without those examinations we could never know who and what we are; we should never be aware of our talents and shortcomings. Without those discoveries, without exploring and understanding ourselves - we should never get any idea about what is going in our lives and why. Why we are dreaming about one thing - and doing just another! Why we don't get so plain and unpretentious things. Why we are not happy in situations that, in accordance with common sense, should totally satisfy us!
We are asking those troublesome questions, we are looking for consultants and advisors. Per chance, we can have luck, we can find some answers, we can make some turns - but, as a rule, all these turns are still part of the same exclusive circle of our fate.
Transpersonal trainings and practices are exceptions from this rule, exclusions from the exclusive. They are opening the secret vaults of our soul with the treasures we could never expect. They are giving us answers to the urgent questions we could never ask.
They can let us know how to arrange life in such a way that all that we want from the world, it will give us easily; all that world wants from us we are eager to do or give. They can teach how to gain a creative job and be inspired, how to live in love and harmony.
Transpersonal Psychology regards creativity, love and spirituality as 3 essential dimensions of human psyche. In accordance with the transpersonal worldview the main goal of development of an individual is to achieve integrity, the oneness with the world and oneself. The Transpersonal theory of personality is contending and proving that the priority of high values and win-win strategies is not a suggestion or obligation of certain rules; it is the key point of the nature of human being.
The Transpersonal school is paying special attention to altered and expanded states of consciousness (ESC/ASC).
Only a transpersonal psychologist or psychotherapist - certainly, not due to education but because of personal qualities, way of living and metaskills - can feel himself at home in the realm of real self, high values, love, creativity, spirituality, wisdom and integrity. This is the realm to which ESCs are the gates. The realm that is precisely pictured in the unique 3 dimensional transpersonal map of the psyche of Homo Sapience.
A Transpersonal expert could successfully treat lots of mental disorders and especially such cases as:
- problems in family and couple relationships (= lack of love)
- interpersonal conflicts as exteriorization of internal conflicts = lack of integrity
- depressions (= lack of creative inspiration)
- all kinds of crisis (hard and painful but inevitable part of the way to integrity)
- existential frustrations (= lack of sense and high values)
- all kinds of addictions (= substitutes for advancement to integrity, creative self-realization and spiritual practice)
- all kinds of peak experiences with ESCs taken as symptoms of mental diseases
- spiritual emergency cases
Only a transpersonal or humanistic expert can propose and implement coaching, consulting and training programs for enterprises, that are intending and trying to organize work as creative self-realization, and business as win-win activities (so called humanistic paradigm = Z-model in management). This transpersonal-oriented approach once has changed the "human side of enterprises", style of work and the life itself of the most progressive corporations in US and Europe from "adjusted slavery" (Maslow's term) to collective inspired creation.
