“…Transformative experiences and transcendent states are of increasing scientific interest ( Kitson et al , 2020 ), notably as part of the recent interest in contemplative practices ( Berkovich-Ohana et al , 2013 ; Josipovic, 2014 ; Nave et al , 2021 ; Vieten et al , 2018 ; Woollacott et al , 2021 ) as well as the therapeutic use of psychedelics ( Barrett & Griffiths, 2018 ; Dakwar et al , 2014 ; Forstmann et al , 2020 ; Reiff et al , 2020 ; Rothberg et al , 2021 ).
