The concept of peak experience

It was originally developed by Abraham Maslow in 1964, who describes peak experiences as “rare, exciting, oceanic, deeply moving, exhilarating, elevating experiences that generate an advanced form of perceiving reality, and are even mystic and magical in their effect upon the experimenter.”

Maslow believed that self-actualizing people have many such peak experiences. In other words, these “peak experiences” or states of flow are the reflections of the realization of one’s human potential and represent the height of personality development.

He also believed the origin, core and essence of every known “high religion” was “the private, lonely, personal illumination, revelation, or ecstasy of some acutely sensitive prophet or seer”.

Shamanism

It is a practice that involves reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with a spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world. The word “shaman” probably originates from the Tungusic Evenki language of North Asia.

An altered state of consciousness is any mental state induced by physiological, psychological, or pharmacological maneuvers or agents, which deviates from the normal waking state of consciousness. They can also be associated with artistic creativity or different focus levels and can be shared interpersonally.

Shamans treat ailments by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the soul/spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness. The shamans also obtain solutions to problems afflicting the community. They may visit other worlds/dimensions to bring guidance to misguided souls and to ameliorate illnesses of the human soul.
