As we move through our daily life, we experience moments of stillness leading us to contemplate the very purpose of this lifetime. A moment of shock or life-changing transition opens us to examine “Who am I really?” These moments come through crisis, disease, meditation, near-death events, dreams, medicinal plants, and or/spontaneous realizations.

We open to a deep part of ourselves. The intensity, duration, and quality of these mystical states impact the transformation that subsequently occurs in daily life.
