Transpersonal psychology
Working with holotropic states of consciousness clear demonstrates that each of us stores in the subconscious not only the memory of our birth and associated trauma, but also fetal and even embryonic existence, conception, and even our ancestors – people and animals.
Of course, I was looking for companions – psychics, bioenergy healers – people with unusual abilities. I looked with passion, even went to the «Battle of the Psychics».
Enthusiasm was lost when I got closest with people or some schools. Our group «Pilgrim», which was created by Yuri Vladimirovich, was the only one in the ocean. Any of the coasts and islands that I came across turned out to be uninteresting.
In the past year, a MIRACLE happened!
First, I met Valentina Sidorova, and then Vladimir Maikov and his team.
«Finally, we are not alone! – thought Stirlitz. «Our team is in the city!»
In my 61, I went to study at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis «Transpersonal Counseling and Psychotherapy». This was the most important step in the last few years.
I first heard about transpersonal psychology from my teacher, the author of the practice «Pilgrim» Yurii Vladimirovich.
Diploma
I wouldn’t dream that this newest direction, which has more enemies than friends, can be learned at a serious level. It is hard to imagine that of shamanism or Taoist practices, for example, they actually tell (and show something) at the institute.
I finally met «my spirit.»
I met scientists, candidates of philosophical and psychological sciences who speak a language that I understand.
Scientists who has enormous knowledge and vast experience in the transpersonal direction.
Scientists who traveled all over the world from Mexico to Tibet, from India to Mongolia in search of various spiritual teachings and practices.
Scientists who are known to all modern transpersonals: Stanislav Groff – the creator of holotropic breathing; Ken Wilber – author of integral psychology; Arnold Mindell – author of procedural therapy; Robert Dilts and Judith DeLozier – creators of NLP-Next.
Scientists who personally experienced all known practices. Scientists – Practitioners and Devotees!
The characters’ of Vladimir Maikov programs are Stanislav Groff, the founder of transpersonal psychology, pioneers of psychological psychology Roger Walsh and Francis Vaughn, Charles Tart and James Fadiman, founders of procedural psychology Arnold and Amy Mindell, founder of the integral approach Ken Wilber, the largest scholar of shamanism Michael Harner, physicist and philosopher Amit Goswami, the great experts in the Tibetan tradition dzogchen Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and Khyentse Yeshe, Benedictine monk Brother David Steind-Rast, teacher of «evolutionary enlightenment» Andrew Cohen, visionary artists Alex Gray and Martina Hoffman, translator of ancient Chinese texts Bronislav Vinogradsky and actor and director Vadim Demchog. Their work and books are well known in Russia. «At the origins»: conversations of Vladimir Maikov with the masters of art, science and spiritual traditions – 20 series: http://transpersonal.ru.
During the annual training program, I had experience with several major areas of transpersonal psychology.
I could write endlessly about studies, about those amazing practices, and about those amazing people. Within the framework of this book, I will share a few personal episodes.
XIX Conference Eurotas 2018
St. Petersburg September 19—23, 2018.
I never dreamed of being able to participate. Moreover, I have not dream of being a speaker at the conference. Dreamed, of course, with humility… And I got lucky.
Such conferences are taking place in Europe. St. Petersburg is nearer, cheaper and more hospitable. World celebrities, about whom Vladimir Maikov told to us throughout the year, were in front of my eyes, I can touch, talk and toke pictures with them. Fantastic! It was genuine.
The first day.
The general council of EUROTAS, where I was immediately met an amazing person who measures everything, even if it is impossible to measure, it was military doctor Valery Lesnichiy. We agreed to collaborate.
Then, was the grand opening of the conference, all celebrities told their words of salutation.
Then was the performance of Boris Grebenshchikov and his «Aquarium», he moved us back in the nineties.
Then was the premiere of the movie, filmed by Vladimir Maikov «The Secret of Carlos Castaneda», immersion in mysticism. The movie was awesome! I’ll be waiting for voiceover.
From the surging impressions, I could not fall asleep…
The second say.
Plenary session. Pierre Luigi Lattoada «Integral and transpersonal psychology as a science»; Aleksandr Zhvankin «Perm animal style»; Bronislav Vinogradsky «Book of Changes as a tool for the evolution of planetary consciousness.»

We celebrated my presentation in a friendly company.
So this fantastic day was ended. It was very emotional!
Master class «Transpersonal drawing»
I was worried about how many people would come. It was eight master classes at the same time. I’m new, nobody knows me here. Mainly the foreigners were present. Apparently, they came to the newcomer, and Tatiana, of course, led them with her creativity.
There were no difficulties in communication, because Harry was a wonderful translator. Considering the translation, I had to cut off half of the material.
After a brief introduction, they immediately turned to the practical part – how you can relieve pain through drawings. I killed pain in the knee of Lita from Latvia with the drawing on a flip chat. The rest observed and eliminated their bodily symptoms by drawing in their notebooks.
We were able to get a result in about 10 minutes, Lita’s pain in the knee was gone.
The participant from Prague, achieved the result herself, through drawing, and with amazement told all of us about it.
Friends! People who just picked up their pencils and killed the pain through drawings, heard about it for the first time and they got success. It worth it!
