A mystical experience is a subjective perception that is hard to comprehend or describe with rational or simple language. It usually involves a sense of connection with something greater than oneself, such as a higher force, and a temporary alteration of one’s sense of time and space. mystical experiences have been studied in psychology from different perspectives, some emphasizing their pathological nature and others their spiritual component. Some researchers have suggested that mystical experiences can indicate healthy psychological functioning and heightened spiritual intelligence, while others have linked them to psychopathological conditions such as schizophrenia. mystical experiences can be triggered by various factors, such as meditation, ritualized activities, hyperventilation, or drugs.
