“…Hypnosis is a social situation where a person strives to respond to imaginative situations offered by the therapists and these suggestions typically require the alterations in sensations, perceptions, memories, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors (Lynn & Kirsch, 2014). Transpersonal psychology uses hypnotic trances to produce altered state of consciousness (Zahi, 2009). The use of hypnosis as a visualization tool promotes wellness by using spiritual aspects (Bunning, 2008).…”

Dijitalleşme, modern yaşam ve gelişmelere olan yoğun bağımlılığın bir sonucu olarak insan hayatı, insanlıkla ve maneviyatla bağlarını kaybetme tehlikesiyle karşı karşıyadır. Bunun muhtemel bir çözümü, Büyük Kanyon’un enginliğine veya yüzlerce yıldızla dolu bir gökyüzüne tanık olmak veya mistik bir deneyim yaşamak gibi örneklerle açıklanabilecek, hayret ve hayranlığın duygusal bir algısı olan awe duygusunun beslenmesidir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle alan yazın titizlikle taranmış ve awe üzerine yapılan araştırmalar bu duygunun ne olduğu, formülasyonu, felsefesi çerçevesinde derlenmiştir. Daha sonra awenin Varoluşçu ve Transpersonel psikolojideki kullanım alanları verilmiş ve ayrıca hastalarda bu duyguyu güçlendirebilecek terapi önerileri de sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak awenin halk sağlığının yükseltilmesi ve yaşam doyumunun yükseltilmesine yönelik tedavilerde daha fazla kullanılması gerektiğine inanıyoruz.

“…In particular, hypnosis is well-established as a therapeutic tool to facilitate transpersonal experiences (Leskowitz, 2015). An acknowledged category of transpersonal hypnotherapy is out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and NDLEs produced hypnotically for the purpose of research (Zahi, 2009). Furthermore, Facco (2012) noted that "NDE-like experiences have been induced in hypnosis in the context of psychotherapy with the aim of approximating their transformational therapeutic aspects and facilitating both first-and second-order patient changes" (p. 284), including the resolution of existential concerns through the experience of how 'dying' might feel.…”

Near-death experiences (NDEs) are known to occur in individuals who go through the first stages of physical death but can also happen as a nontypical manifestation of several forms of non-ordinary states of consciousness. In this exploratory study, we assessed the possibility of inducing the phenomenological components of an NDE through hypnosis using a specific script in a group setting. Participants were 7 males (38.9%) and 11 females (61.1%) ranging in age from 15 to 59 years with a mean age of 35.9. NDE Scale (Greyson, 1983) scores among the 17 participants whose total scores met the criterion of 7 or higher were seemingly indistinguishable, in both content and intensity, from scores of spontaneous near-death experiencers. Older participants scored higher on the three non-cognitive subscales. The core phenomenological components were prevalently affective, pointing to the likelihood that expectations played a role in induced experiences, as may also be the case with spontaneous NDEs that were in some way anticipated. However, we were unable to conclude that, Ana Sofia Machado Ferreira, MA (Psychology), is a clinical psychologist and researcher at the Laboratory of Mind-Matter Interaction with Therapeutic Intention (LIMMIT) at the University of Lisbon in Lisbon, Portugal. This article is based on work leading to her PhD thesis, Induced near-death-experiences in healthy volunteers: Phenomenology and aftereffects, which she will submit to the University of Northampton in Northampton, England, UK. Mário Simões, PhD (Psychiatry), emeritus professor on the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Lisbon, is Director of LIMMIT. Ana Paula Farinha, PhD (Molecular Biology), is an independent researcher and a resident consultant at LIMMIT. The authors wish to thank Enrico Facco, MD, and Bruce Greyson, MD, for their encouragement and suggestions in the preparation of this article. We also would like to acknowledge the essential roles that BIAL Foundation, as well as Chris Roe, PhD, and Callum Cooper, PhD, both at the University of Northampton, played in the further development of the project described in this article.

This is the second in a series of Special Issues devoted to presentations at the 11 th triennial congress of the European Society of Hypnosis in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatic Medicine held in Vienna, 17-21 September, 2008.In a clinical experimental study, Reinhard and colleagues report that the incidence of premature births was lower in women who responded to an invitation for hypnosis sessions and who went on to practise self-hypnosis at home than in a comparison group. The results have now stimulated resources for a randomized controlled trial.Alladin provides a comprehensive outline of a workshop presenting hypnotic and cognitive-behavioural strategies in a multimodal, sixteen-session, adaptable treatment programme for depression. This is an eclectic approach, which aside from hypnosis and self-hypnosis includes social skills training, cognitive behaviour therapy, behavioural activation and mindfulness training.Mindfulness, spirituality and altered states of consciousness thematically link the other contributions.Halsband and colleagues carry out brain imaging studies making comparisons between hypnosis and meditation; the latter subdivided into approaches requiring focused, sustained attention, and approaches requiring what they describe as open monitoring without explicit object focus. In many instances they utilize a within subject design to make comparisons. Methods included electroencephalography, positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging.Harrer provides a detailed cognitive description of the complimentary and distinguishing features of mindfulness and hypnosis across eight dimensions. He goes on, as have others (Lynn et al., 2006), to consider an interplay between the two approaches, posing questions such as how to balance top-down processing (hypnosis) with bottom-up processing (mindfulness), and when to emphasize 'being' rather than 'doing'. The therapeutic value of mindfulness on the part of the therapist in the therapeutic relationship (Siegel, 2007) is considered.Therapeutic innovation is also the topic of Holzinger's overview of lucid dreaming, a phenomenon which is slowly acquiring an empirical base. Following an historical and experimental review, pioneering transpersonal clinical work with which she is presently engaged is described. Zahi, in a similar vein, considers transpersonal hypnosis (Leskowitz, 1999), categorizing applications threefold: hypnotic induction of near-death and outof-body experiences, of past life experiences, and of spiritual interpretations consonant with the beliefs of the patient. With case studies Arnon extends this approach to spiritual interpretations incompatible with the patient's beliefs.Finally Fabian and colleagues summarize their series of studies using sound-light entrainment. These have been applied to dental patients who often had seemingly intrac-
