WHAT IS TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY?

---

 "Transpersonal psychology is a transformative psychology of the whole person with a diverse, interconnected and evolving world; it pays special attention to self-expansive states as well as to spiritual, mystical, and other exceptional human experiences that gain meaning in such a context" - Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Transpersonal Psychology.

What does that mean?  If that was the first thought that crossed your mind, you are not alone.

In order to help expand our understanding of this important area of psychology, I am asking this same question of every professional in the field that I interview and will post their answers here in order to demystify transpersonal psychology and foster further exploration.
