Transcendent experiences are moments when we “transcend ourselves” or lose our sense of self in a feeling of oneness with the universe, the Divine, or other form of greater consciousness. These are often described in a similar way to religious experiences, but approached or considered outside of a traditional religious framework. Transcendent experiences can occur with or without the aid of chemicals (such as psychedelics) or physical rituals such as trances or chanting. Some people experience them out of the blue or when struck by a particular awe-inspiring moment in nature.
