Mystical experiences, marked by unity, transcendence, and a noetic quality, show therapeutic potential in clinical psychology. A new framework centers on the experience itself, requiring a non-ordinary state of consciousness for profound impact. It identifies three pre-state factors: invitation, context, and individual aptitude. After the experience, integration is a necessary mediating factor for beneficial change.
