Yvonne Kason - Defining Spiritually Transformative Experiences

Dr. Yvonne Kason first coined the phrase “Spiritually Transformative Experiences” (STEs) in 1994, further defining them in her books, Farther Shores, and Exploring Spiritually Transformative Experiences, in an effort to minimize mislabeling of STE experiencers. Dr. Kason divides STEs into 5 major categories, which will be described in detail in this presentation: Mystical Experiences; Kundalini/Spiritual Energy awakenings; Psychic Experiences, Near-Death-Experiences and other death-related STEs; and Inspired Creativity. She will show how all STEs, including NDEs, tend to transform the experiencer, changing them in a more spiritual direction, initiating or accelerating a long term process of spiritual transformation of consciousness in the experiencer. The many common after-effects of physical, psychological, and spiritual or paranormal symptoms will be described. These possible after-effects include both positive/uplifting ones and/or ones challenging to the experiencer. Dr. Kason will outline some of the factors which may contribute to the development of challenging after-effects including spiritual crises /spiritual emergencies, as well as strategies for grounding, to lessen/mitigate challenging after-effects.
