| Resumo: | Increasingly reported in contemporary times, exceptional human experiences (EHEs) are unusual spontaneous occurrences deviating from common perceptions about the nature of reality. Previous literature attests to the transformative influence EHEs exert on those who have them, which can include feeling a greater sense of spirituality. Our study investigated the relationship between EHEs and psycho-spiritual transformation, in a sample of 72 participants who self-identified as having experienced an EHE. Mystical/unitive EHEs were most commonly reported by the sample, and significantly positive associations were evident between EHEs and the psycho-spiritual indicators of spiritual growth and presence of meaning in life. |
