Breaking Open: Finding a Way Through Spiritual Emergency www.alternatives.org.uk/event/breaking-open-finding-way-through-spiritual-emergencyAbout the Online A spiritual emergency is a period of intense disturbance to a person’s ordinary sense of self and reality, which can involve psychotic-like symptoms such as mania, ego-dissolution, a heightened sense of meaning, hallucinations and a confusion of inner and outer worlds. These experiences can be treated as symptoms of chronic brain disorders requiring psychotropic medication. However, they are better understood as attempts by the psyche to seek greater wholeness. If properly handled, they can be transitions to greater maturity, flourishing and wisdom. On this evening webinar Jules Evans and Dr Tim Read - authors of Breaking Open -Finding a Way Through Spiritual Emergency, will gather together first-person accounts of spiritual emergencies and explore what they’re like and what self-care practices help people through.

Interesting, they are still managing to get 'psychotic', 'mania' and 'hallucinations' in the description even though clearly taking it seriously.

Breaking Open: Finding a Way Through Spiritual Emergency Editor : Jules Evans, Editor : Tim Read www.aeonbooks.co.uk/product/breaking-open-finding-a-way-through-spiritual-emergency/94497/The first book in which people discuss their own spiritual emergencies and share what helped them through. Our authors are the experts of their own experience, and they share their wild journeys with courage, insight and poetry. There are fascinating parallels in their experiences, suggesting minds in extremis go to similar places. These are beautiful postcards from the edge of human consciousness, testaments to the soul’s natural resilience. Our authors have returned from their descent with valuable insights for our culture, as we go through a collective spiritual emergency, with old myths and structures breaking down, and new possibilities breaking open. What is there beyond our present egocentric model of reality? What tools can help us navigate the emergence? "This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the connection between spiritual awakening and what we normally term 'mental illness.' It is full of inspirational and moving stories that show that psychological disturbances often lead to significant personal growth, if supported properly. As a culture, we urgently need a new paradigm of mental illness and treatment, and this and this book makes an important contribution to that shift.' Steve Taylor PhD, author of The Leap and Spiritual Science

A Day in the life of Julian of Norwich; fortnightly story series emergingproud.com/2020/06/09/a-day-in-the-life-of-julian-of-norwich-fortnightly-story-series-3/Julian of Norwich was a 14th Century mystic and visionary who understood the power of mindfulness and contemplation on our higher nature and sense of gratitude for life itself. She became fully awakened when she had an NDE (near death experience) at 30 and was shown the totally unconditional love of the Source of all that is. The 16 visions she received sustained her spiritual inner world for over 40 years in self- isolation through many plagues, during which time she was inspired to write a book, “Divine Revelations of Love”.
