Abstract

Transpersonal psychology is the study of human nature that begins with the
assumption that humans have potentials that go beyond the limits of their ego and
integrate spiritual experience into a broader understanding of the human psyche and
consciousness. Altered states of consciousness have been used as psychotherapy in
transpersonal to help individuals for self-exploration and self-analysis and proposed by
many psychologists during the last decades as a way to explore the human psyche and
provide a better understanding of the human mind.
