NCT ID NCT07584070
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single guided, non-drug spiritual session can produce mystical-type experiences in healthy Christian adults. 120 participants will complete the session and then be randomly assigned to a Christian-based or control integration program for 4 weeks. Researchers will measure mystical experiences and well-being up to 2 months later.
What this could mean

Active substance
Guided Invocation for Mystical Experience (GIME) - a behavioral intervention using breathing, guided imagery, and verbal suggestions
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a safe, non-drug way to help people have meaningful spiritual experiences and improve well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 120 healthy Christian adults. The results may not apply to other groups, and the effects may be short-lived or not work for everyone.
