I’ve read somewhere that the physiological effects can be explained by the release of DMT in the body through stress, reduced oxygen levels and through gamma wave and cerebrospinal fluid alterations when practising connected or Holotropic breathing.
Explanations for mystical experiences have been made using biological language, psychological language, and metaphysical language. A wrong assumption might be that one or the other of these explanations account for all mystical experiences. It should be considered that mystical experiences might result from either of these three or from some other causes as from observation, witness, and experience unrelated to either of the three explanations.
Is the possibility allowed that some mystical experiences might actually be real in the sense that they exist apart from the mystical experience? Supposedly, such a mystical event could be placed in the category of the metaphysical, but the metaphysical has the common association of questionable religious beliefs.
The term mystical experience needs to be specific to what is experienced before it is categorized.
Thanks for this exposition; I've contemplated Holotropic work in the past but never done it.
