Time perception is notably variable in altered states of consciousness such as near-death experiences, mystical experiences, and through psychedelics. Ancient Greek concepts of 'chronos' (linear time) and 'kairos' (qualitative, meaningful time) illustrate this variability. Near-death experiences often evoke timelessness, where individuals report life reviews that collapse chronological time into a single moment. Such insights into time perception open avenues for therapeutic practices, allowing for personal growth by fostering a deeper understanding of consciousness and its connection to human experience.
Our perception of time can vary dramatically, particularly during altered states of consciousness, offering insights into therapeutic and personal growth opportunities.
