Qualitative Structure and Meaning in Prospective Trance-Channeled Communications Attributed to Extraterrestrial Intelligences
Trance channeling is a widely reported altered-state practice where individuals convey information perceived as originating from nonhuman intelligences, including purported extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs). Prior work demonstrated semantic correspondence across channelers under structured conditions. The present study examines the qualitative content, structure, and meaning of trance-channeled ETI communications through reflexive thematic an…
Semantic Structure and Correspondence in Prospective Trance-Channeled Communications Attributed to Extraterrestrial Intelligences
Trance channeling is a widely reported but underexamined altered-state practice in which individuals convey information perceived as originating from nonhuman intelligences. This prospective study evaluated the feasibility of structured trance-channeling interviews and assessed semantic correspondence across channelers and purported extraterrestrial intelligences (ETIs). Three experienced channelers completed standardized interviews spanning 28 t…

An Exploration of the Associations Between Meditation, Extended Human Capacities and Synchronistic Experiences
The study’s aim was to explore the associations between meditation, extended human capacities, and synchronistic experiences. 725 participants completed questionnaires and online tasks assessing these variables before and after engaging in personal growth workshops. The results showed that 1) meditators scored higher than non-meditators on noetic experiences and beliefs, and pre-workshop synchronistic experiences; 2) meditation frequency was asso…
Willingness to participate in entheogen use research in naturalistic settings
BackgroundEntheogen use is becoming increasingly popular and a potential option for treatment or adjuvant treatment for various medical conditions. Clinical studies are needed to determine the efficacy, safety, and possible role of these traditional medicines in the context of modern society and the Western medicine paradigm. The willingness of patients to participate in such studies is currently unknown.Materials and MethodsIn September 2021 we …
Channeling
Channeling experiences are often compared with Dissociative Trance/Possession Disorders and Dissociative Identity Disorders and more recent diagnostic criteria presented in the DSM 5 and ICD-11. From this comparison, it emerges quite clearly that, for most cases, channeling can either be considered an exceptional non-ordinary mental experience or a non-pathological Dissociative Trance/Possession experience. If this characterization is valid, the …
Managing psychological stress in the multiple sclerosis medical visit
Psychological stress can negatively impact multiple sclerosis. To further understand how stress is addressed in the multiple sclerosis medical visit, 34 people with multiple sclerosis participated in focus groups. Transcripts were analyzed by inductive thematic analysis. The majority of participants did not discuss stress with their provider, citing barriers to communication such as lack of time, poor coordination between specialties, physician r…
