Any science is not static, needing constant development, and the psychology did not become an exception. The transpersonal psychology became the new direction in which many experts are trained. In fact, it is the bridge between classical science and religious beliefs of various people. And will throw this bridge for enrichment of knowledge of human opportunities as allows to look at a problem from a different perspective, earlier inaccessible classical science.
Methods of transpersonal psychology
The new psychological direction is engaged in studying consciousness, without avoiding such phenomena as an intuition, spiritual crisis, near-mortal visions, the highest conditions of consciousness, phenomena and various conditions of consciousness. Tools are chosen proceeding from the general vision of spiritual development of the person, being borrowed from world spiritual traditions, philosophical anthropology and different types of self-knowledge. For example, for transpersonal psychology can be used: the meditation and psychotherapy having corporal orientation, therapy by art and active imagination, self-hypnosis and work with dreams. But the most often used reception is holotropny breath.
The main elements of this technique is the specific mode of breath (it becomes deeper and coherent), the helping music, specific working methods with a body for the best release of energy. The technique proves the efficiency at fight against addictions, stresses, neurotic and psychosomatic frustration. Also holotropny breath can be applied to overcoming creative stagnation and search of new non-standard decisions. The positive effect of a method is explained by the fact that in daily occurrence the people perceive themselves only from physical "I" that impoverishes possibilities of his perception and self-realization. Because of misunderstanding of own nature there are intra personal contradictions which inevitably lead to various frustration. The technique is new only to the western researchers, having at the same time the centuries-old history of use within east spirituality.
