Transcendental experiences refer to moments where individuals feel a profound connection to something greater than themselves, often described as spiritual or mystical. These experiences can lead to feelings of unity, peace, and a sense of purpose. They may occur during meditation, nature immersion, or significant life events. Such experiences are often characterized by altered states of consciousness, where the boundaries of self dissolve. People may report heightened awareness, deep insights, or a sense of timelessness. Various cultures and religions, including Buddhism and Christianity, have documented these experiences, emphasizing their importance in personal growth and understanding.
