Shamans as Healers, Counselors, and Psychotherapists
Shamanic models of healing, counseling, and psychotherapy differ from Western models in that\nthey emphasize closeness to the natural world as well as to one’s body and life’s spiritual dimensions.\nShamanic practices reflect the ideals of harmony and knowledge. In shamanism, there is no division\nbetween “mind” and “body,” hence what Westerners refer to as “mental illness” is seen as part of\nthe total client being treated by a shaman, a perspec…

Should\nit be amended? Spiritual emergency can be defined as a crisis involving religious, transpersonal,\nand/or spiritual issues that provides opportunities for growth. Spiritual emergence, meanwhile,\nlends itself to gentler transformation. The research methods inc…
Transpersonal and Other Models of Spiritual Development
This chapter focuses on exploring various models of spiritual development. It first addresses\nphilosophical dilemmas underpinning the concept of spiritual development by questioning\nwhether these can be addressed without metaphysical assumptions embedded in religious\nworldviews and thus understood in any consensual way across different historical and\ncultural contexts. Traditional models of spiritual development are then reviewed, drawing\nfr…

Changes in Spirituality Among Ayahuasca Ceremony Novice Participants
Ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic plant brew from the Amazon basin used as part of healing ceremonies by the local indigenous people of the region for centuries, is now being consumed by growing numbers of people throughout the world. Anecdotal evidence and previous research suggest that there are spiritual effects experienced among participants who take part in ayahuasca ceremonies. The current study examined whether novice participants' spirituality …
Some Rudimentary Problems Pertaining to the Construction of an Ontology and Epistemology of Shamanic Journeying Imagery
Attempts to elucidate the kinds of “thing” or “things” to which the term shamanic journeying\nimage is referentially linked must grapple with two related questions: what is the fundamental\nnature of shamanic journeying images, and how might the origin of a shamanic\njourneying image be found? The first question is ontological, concerned with the nature\nand essence of shamanic journeying images. In contrast, the second is epistemological and\nme…
Cognitive differences in dream content between Argentine males and females using quantitative content analysis
Learning from the Spirits
Brazilian spiritistic religions have developed along elaborate historical and cultural trajectories with spirit mediumship as a central feature of ritual practice in Candomblé, Umbanda, Kardecismo, and similar groups. In these studies, several Brazilian spiritistic practitioners who worked as mediums were interviewed and, in some cases, tested with psychological measures for dissociation using the Dissociative Experiences Scale, for absorption us…
Does the Concept of “Altered States of Consciousness” Rest on a Mistake
Block (2002) has argued that the multiplicity of meanings ascribed to consciousness is due\nto the erroneous treatment of very different concepts as a single concept. Block distinguished\nfour notions of consciousness intended to encapsulate the various meanings attributed to\nthe term: phenomenal, access, self, and monitoring consciousness. We argue that what is\ncommon to all of these definitions is the implicit distinction between consciousnes…
A Preliminary Study on English and Welsh "Sacred Sites" and Home Dream Reports
This article discusses preliminary data on advancing what we know about "sacred sites" and their effects on dreaming. Thirty-five volunteers spent between one and five nights in one of four unfamiliar outdoor sacred sites in England and Wales. Another volunteer awakened them following the observation of rapid eye movement and asked for dream recall. The same volunteers monitored their own dreams in familiar home surroundings, keeping dream diarie…
Cognitive differences in dream content and boundary structure between Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and European Americans using quantitative content analysis
“All Mind? No Matter”
In this short article, the author discusses the conflict between materialistic and transcendental\nparadigms in accounting for the nature of reality. After speculating on the meaning and implications\nof an idealist perspective where consciousness is seen as the fundamental ground of all\nphenomena, the author reframes the consciousness versus matter debate in terms of complex\nsystems theory. Such a reframing allows for the mutual coexistence of…
Constructing A Model of Espiritista Healing in the Philippines
A conference sponsored by the U.S. National Institutes of Health in 1995 proposed 13 categories by which alternative and complementary medical systems could be described. This model was applied to Filipino Christian Spiritist (Espiritista) Healing, a folk healing system that dates back hundred of years. This system was found to match each of the model's categories, providing a framework in which future research projects could be designed. The uti…

The use of the Strauch Scale to study dream reports from sacred sites in England and Wales
Thirty-five volunteers spent between one and five nights in one of four unfamiliar outdoor “sacred sites” in England and Wales where they were awakened following rapid eye movement periods and asked for dream recall. They also monitored their dreams in familiar home surroundings, keeping dream diaries. Equal numbers of site dreams and home dream reports were obtained for each volunteer. Two judges, working blind and independently, evaluated each …
Dancing with the Trickster Notes for a Transpersonal Autobiography
This autobiographical essay focuses on "transpersonal," "anomalous," and "exceptional" experiences, those elements often ignored when individuals write the stories of their lives. Nevertheless, these experiences have life-transformative potentials that may be more salient than the activities usually serving as the basis for autobiographical accounts
Mental Imagery Cultivation as a Cultural Phenomenon
The ability to experience mental imagery is innate in human beings. "Mental imagery cultivation" is proposed to identify technological traditions devoted to the deliberate, repeated induction of enhanced mental imagery, usually in select individuals. Mental imagery enhancement training increases the vividness and the controlledness of mental imagery for its functional and adaptive value. Mental imagery cultivation is usually embedded within magic…
Conflicting perspectives on shamans and shamanism
Shamans' communities grant them privileged status to attend to those groups' psychological and spiritual needs. Shamans claim to modify their attentional states and engage in activities that enable them to access information not ordinarily attainable by members of the social group that has granted them shamanic status. Western perspectives on shamanism have changed and clashed over the centuries; this address presents points and counterpoints reg…

Humanistic Psychology and Chaos Theory
Chaos theory investigates processes that initially seem so complex that they do not appear to be governed by any known principles; however, they actually have an underlying order that can be described mathematically. The application of chaos theory to human behavior and experience demonstrates an affinity with humanistic psychology that deserves attention, especially in such areas as creativity, health, and the sleep cycle

Mythmaking and Human Development
As the richly articulated cultural myths of the past have faded from social prominence and lost their viability in guiding individuals through predictable life crises, uniquely personal myths have assumed significance in helping individuals organize personal reality. After a brief survey of "personal mythology" as a concept within psychology, this article examines the mythic nature of thought and the historical shift in the foundations of conscio…

The Identification of Spiritual Content in Dream Reports
This investigation was designed to evaluate a new dream content measure, the Casto Spirituality Scoring System. Therefore, our research question was: "Can the spiritual content of dream reports be identified and measured?" We randomly selected 20 male and 20 female dream reports obtained in dream seminars in each of six countries. We added 20 dream reports from one U.S. female and one U.S. male undergoing "spiritual development" programs. Of the …
Soviet and American Perspectives on Hidden Reserves and Human Potentials
The biological, psychological, and social capacities that enable individuals to engage in personally and culturally valuable behavior are referred to as "hidden human reserves" in the U.S.S.R. and as "human potentials" in the United States. There is a tradition of interest and research in both countries despite the fact that this area has been ignored by many scientists. The topics studied include imagery, self-regulation, hypnosis, accelerated l…

Waking Life, Dream Life, and the Construction of Reality
Enigmatic, anomalous dream reports challenge the Western philosophical worldview, hence they are ignored or derided by most mainstream philosophers and scientists. Nevertheless, there is compelling evidence from research in parapsychology that at least some of these reports have consensual validation and waking life consequences. Shamanic models of reality (which reflect shamanic philosophies) provide anecdotal evidence, congruent with parapsycho…

Identifying and utilizing spiritual content in dream reports
The question posed by this investigation was whether the spiritual content of dreams could be identified. The Casto Spirituality Scoring System (CSSS) was used to identify spiritual elements in 1,666 dream reports obtained in dream workshops in six countries. The CSSS considers the adjective “spiritual” as a hypothetical construct referring to one's focus on, and/or reverence, openness, and connectedness to something of significance believed to b…
The Role Played by Mandalas in Navajo and Tibetan Rituals
The mandala has appeared throughout human history as a symbol of integration, harmony, and transformation. Consideration is given to the role played by mandalas in Navajo and Tibetan rituals, and how the same form has been constructed differently in various times and places. The impact of psychophysiology in personality theory has led to a reconceptualization of the mandala and other Jungian archetypal forms
The Mythology of Evil Among North American Indian Yuroks and Its Implications for Western Spirituality
The mythology of evil has assumed renewed importance among diverse spiritual groups in the West and among scholars of the anthropology of consciousness. An investigation of Yurok mythology reveals that it is conceptualized asian "imbalance" between individuals (or groups) and parts of themselves, other community members, nature, and/or the Great Spirit. Yurok teaching stories, as well as shamanic practices, provide examples of how these imbalance…

The interplay of cultural and personal myths in the dreams of a Balinese artist
Cultural myths often take the form of epics, rituals, and art objects. Personal myths may influence artistic productions as well. The interplay of cultural and personal myths can be observed in dreams. Both cultural and personal mythic themes can be detected in the case study of a Balinese artist who has used his dreams as source material for his work

Research Strategies in the Study of Shamanism and Anomalous Experience
The anomalous experiences of shamans have been reported over the centuries, but only recently have they been subjected to rigorous investigation. Although interviews, reports, and informal observations can produce interesting material, their anomalous nature can only be determined by controlled observations and experimental studies. Examples of each are given and recommendations are made for further research
