Spiritual Crisis Network UK
Spiritual crisis, often called spiritual emergency, awakening or psycho-spiritual crisis, is a turbulent period of psychological opening and transformation.
The Spiritual Crisis Network is a UK non-profit organisation that provides support and resources to help make meaning of and integrate a crisis experience, resulting in the relief of suffering and more positive outcomes.
A Call for Research Participants;
Attachment to others-stories of managing trauma, difficulty and the experience of hearing voices, seeing things others don’t and/or feeling suspicious.
-Would you say you have heard or seen things others didn’t? Or perhaps, you’ve felt suspicious or had beliefs others did not share?
-Have you experienced something traumatic in your life? Did you notice anything different about yourself afterwards?
-If you were to describe yourself as doing well now, what has helped you get to this point? How did you manage?
Would you like to shared your story? It might help others like you.

Research Project
Info from Dr Pierce Salguero below:
Rearch Survey on Zen Sickness, Kundalini Syndrome, Spiritual Emergencies, and other Crises in Spiritual Practice
Penn State University professor Dr Pierce Salguero is conducting a formal research study on crises related to spiritual practice. The purpose is to discover why they happen and how to best help people navigate through them.
Do you want to participate, or know anyone who might? There is basic info about the survey, along with detailed questions about spiritual emergencies, here:
https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9mlFVgybquIQcZg/
The survey should take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Please note that we are defining “spiritual crisis” very loosely here. Basically, if you’ve had any challenging periods in your spiritual practice when you had to look for help, we’d love to hear from you.
As with all formal academic studies with human participants, this project is reviewed by the university IRB ethics board. The survey is designed to be completely confidential and anonymous, with no way to identify you unless you choose to share your own personal information.
You can now follow us on Instagram. Keep up to date with SCN.
