Riassunto

A brilliant, pioneering book that shows how understanding and living with a spiritual crisis can ultimately be an extremely positive experience that leads to renewal, rebirth and a greater sense of self.

Many people, at some point, find themselves opening up to a more spiritual life. If this happens gradually, the result will be healing and rewarding.

However, many find these changes too dramatic, and their everyday lives are overturned.

This book explores these spiritual ‘emergencies’. The authors draw on years of professional and personal experience to describe the different forms these crises can take, how they are different from mental illnesses, and practical ways to best survive them.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This pioneering book shows how undergoing a spiritual crisis can be a positive experience that leads to renewal and rebirth.

Many people, at some point, find themselves undergoing a profound personal transformation, and opening up to a more spiritual life. If this happens gradually, under favourable circumstances, the result will be emotional healing, a change in personal values and a profound awareness of the mystical dimension of life. However, many fond these changes take place too dramaticallyand their everyday lives are overturned. Unfortunately, many health professionals do not recognise the positive potential of these crises, but see them as manifestations of mental disease

In this book, Christina and Stanislav Grof draw on years of personal and professional experience to explore these 'spiritual emergencies' . They describe the forms they take, how they can be differentiated from mental illnesses, and practical ways to best survive them. This book is for people whose lives are touched by spiritual emergency; for those who are actually experiencing or have experienced such a crisis, for those who treat them professionally, and for their families and friends.
