Abstract
The unleashing of mystical experiences was facilitated by using hypnotic approaches specifically aimed at altering space and time perceptions. Case presentations illustrated the methodologies for guiding receptive human subjects to mystical states with the aim of relieving or correcting organic and functional painful syndromes unresponsive to other interventions. The probable biopsychological processes were discussed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
