Transpersonal psychology is a flourishing branch of psychology that was founded in the 1960s, and has its own designated branch within The British Psychological Society (BPS). The term was coined by Abraham Maslow, one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th Century. It is interested in the psychological investigation of transpersonal experiences, process and events. The word 'transperso
nal' means extending beyond or transcending the personal or individual identity to include the subconsicous, conscious, superconscious and our connection to the wider world, all peoples, plants and animals. Transpersonal experiences can include such things as meditative states, mystical or awakening experiences, altered states of consciousness and near death experiences. Transpersonal processes are the transformation that can proceed from transpersonal experiences. Many theories of transpersonal psychology are based on a developmental model and focus on the transformation available to us through living a transpersonal life. At Transpersonal Life we are interested in helping clients to develop present moment self awareness through such practices as mindfulness, to connect with a wider perspective of oneness that can provide a sense of space in challenging times, while at the same time identifying and processing the subconscious blocks that prevent us from fulfilling our potential. Transpersonal Life's ethos is based on diving deep into our souls and reaching up to our higher selves through psychological work and spiritual practice. Each session and workshop is a totally unique co-creation that evolves through present moment self-awareness and exploration. Transpersonal Life values wholeness, wellbeing, compassion, love and non-judgement and aims to help clients develop these qualities within themselves so that together we can co-create a more loving and compassionate world with meaning and purpose for all.
