Transpersonal psychology describes the experience of non-ordinary states of consciousness, when awareness moves beyond the familiar sense of “I” and beyond the boundaries of time and/or space.

As a philosophical current, transpersonal psychology is drawn toward freedom, love and overcoming the sense of personal isolation, exploring and practicing the philosophies of the West and the East with equal interest.

Transpersonal psychology grew out of humanistic psychology as a response to the limits of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. In psychotherapy it makes wide use of methods typical of religious practice: work with attention and breathing practices; fasting, abstinence and solitude combined with physical exertion; dance, running and physically demanding forms of yoga; cold-water immersion, walking in the snow, long sauna sessions; group chanting, mantra singing, playing musical instruments, listening to the sounds of nature; meditation, and more.

The field's main drawback is that it leaves room for charlatans and people looking for easy money. That is why we make a point of introducing our viewers to its leading figures — researchers and teachers who are respected in the community.
