Understanding Extreme Spiritual States & How to Care for Them
The purpose of this booklet is to help the reader better understand extreme spiritual states. It is written for people experiencing those states and also for their companions and carers. Our goal is to reassure, create safety and enable positive outcomes. We have consulted with user groups and clinicians. We also have our own personal experience of these states. This comes from supporting others and from navigating our own challenges. This booklet asserts that to understand and interpret extreme or unusual spiritual states, it is necessary to be culturally inclusive. It is also necessary to appreciate both the psychological and the spiritual dynamics. Download and more information
Meditation Masterclass —
Handbook for Teachers & Practitioners
Meditation Masterclass is a radical and inspiring person-centred approach. It asserts that meditation is a natural human activity and not a special or difficult practice belonging to a particular spiritual or psychological tradition.
To seek quiet and solitude is a natural human behaviour. It is also totally natural to connect with the oneness of life; to be watchful and compassionate; to explore consciousness and meaning. Meditation Masterclass describes and explains the essential jewels of all meditation traditions; and how they are hugely beneficial for our physical health and general wellbeing.
