The Institute for the Study of Peak States (ISPS) is a world-wide research, teaching, and clinical treatment organization focused on the study of the psychology and biology of consciousness. Our groundbreaking discoveries in prenatal development have led to the creation of techniques for acquiring exceptional states of consciousness. This tremendously exciting and new field also has stunning, practical applications in the areas of psychology and medicine.
Research
Our original research efforts were centered around understanding the cause of spiritual, shamanic, and transpersonal experiences. This led to the discovery of the existence of various 'peak states' of consciousness - many of which have a profound impact on quality of life - and the development of our prenatal 'developmental events model' that explains the cause of peak experiences, events, and abilities. We have mapped the overall structure of this new frontier of science, but it will be decades before all the applications of this work are explored.
Our model provides a cohesive, theoretical framework that explains how psychological and spiritual techniques work, allowing us to derive entirely new methods and predict previously undiscovered phenomena. This has led to the discovery of the underlying causes for a number of devastating mental (and some physical) diseases, many of which have been considered incurable.
The Institute also encourages and supports the growth of this entire new field by searching for and providing links to other non-Institute approaches for acquiring peak states.
School/Training
To turn research into practice, we now have a school teaching our work to professionals internationally. Client safety is of utmost importance to us, so the Institute's professional training program certifies and licenses practitioners.
Our professional classes cover three different areas:
- Psychological
healing techniques
that widen
the range of problems that a therapist can treat. They
can be used on their own or as a complement to most
other healing modalities, and can be easily added to a
therapist's healing repertoire. The best known
is Whole-Hearted
Healing™,
a regression technique that is suitable for everyone. It
easily accesses and heals prenatal events. The technique
is given on this website as a public service.
- Theory and
methods for acquiring a variety of different, permanent
peak states of consciousness. Although these techniques
are only suitable for healthy people, therapists can use
them to acquire particular peak states that give the
therapist, after training, the ability to heal clients'
major traumas extremely quickly and painlessly.
- Specializations - the teaching and licensing of therapists in the treatment of specific diseases. Our techniques are fast, effective, and permanent.
Clinics
Currently the Institute focuses on just a few of the huge number of potential diseases our approach could address. Our current clinical projects include addictions, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis and autism. This is a work in progress - the addictions process is ready for clients, others are being tested and should be available soon, and some are still being derived.
Some of our processes can be used by licensed therapists in their own offices. The Institute also plans to set up clinical facilities nationally and internationally.
About the Institute
The core purpose of this Institute is to find ways to improve the quality of life for all of mankind. We've written this website to help professionals and laypeople become informed on the specifics of our discoveries and keep updated as our work progresses - and to attract people who share our vision. We have a free newsletter that you may wish to subscribe to by clicking the link at the bottom of this page. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please get in touch. Enjoy!
