IGPP offers a free counseling service for people seeking advice and help in connection with exceptional experiences or spiritual and meditation-induced crises. Depending on your concerns, you have various options for getting in touch with us.
In addition to the specific counseling service, we also offer general advice and information.
Please note: Our counseling service is offered exclusively in German.
Our counseling service is available to all people who would like to report exceptional experiences (ExE). ExE are experiences that are commonly referred to as “supernatural”, “paranormal”, “magical”, etc. They have always been part of the spectrum of human experiences and are known in all cultures. Many people view ExE positively and are able to integrate them into their everyday lives. Under certain circumstances, however, they also trigger insecurities and fears that are not easy to deal with.
Spiritual paths and practices such as yoga and meditation are very popular. Such practices can have a variety of health-promoting psychological and physical effects. Under certain circumstances, however, they can sometimes lead to unusual and stressful experiences or even crisis situations that require professional support and assistance. The aim of the counseling sessions is to provide clients with initial guidance in the event of a spiritual or meditation-induced crisis.
