The Bonny Method of GIM: Matrix for Transpersonal Experience
Lewis, Kirstie - Volume: 6
This article explores the potential of the Bonny Method to evoke and support trans personal experiences. Based on Ken Wilber's Spectrum of Consciousness model, which places transpersonal experience in a developmental framework, 128 Bonny Method sessions were analyzed as to the frequency and nature of transpersonal experience occurring in the sessions. The study was also able to determine those Bonny Method music programs which seemed to stimulate a greater frequency and variety of transpersonal experience. It was concluded that the Bonny Method can assist individuals in having ecperiences that are unitive, mystical, transcendent and transpersonal in nature and that these experiences may be integrated into their lives.
