Resumen

PARRA, Alejandro  y  CORBETTA, Juan Manuel. Paranormal experiences and their relationship with the meaning of life. liber. [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.2, pp.251-258. ISSN 1729-4827.

The effects that have paranormal experiences in the life of the people were investigated. The results of a sample of 24 people actively interested in thinking new age and esoteric issues that reported having at least one paranormal experience were collected. Such experiences increased their interest in spiritual matters as well as the subjective sense of well-being. They also showed a decrease in fear of death, depression or anxiety, isolation and loneliness; concerns and fears about the future. A large majority of the respondents indicated that these effects were a combination of more than one spiritual, paranormal and transcendental experience. The magnitude of the changes in welfare and spirituality were positively associated with the number of anomalous experiences. Well-being scores and the importance of spirituality were positively associated with changes in welfare and spirituality which resulted from the anomalous experiences. Although 45% of respondents indicated that the paranormal experience had been frightening, this fear seemed to be temporary or mixed with positive feelings.

Palabras clave : Paranormal experiences; well-being; spirituality.
