Building Resilience Through Altered States of Consciousness Experiences Related
Phillip SHenefelt, MD, ABMH
Skin and skin disorders have spiritual and religious dimensions often associated with altered states of consciousness experiences since antiquity. The skin is a major sense organ and also expresses emotions detectable by others. How much skin is covered, scalp and beard hair cutting and styling, skin and nail and hair coloring and decorating, tattooing, and intentional scarring of skin continue to have spiritual and religious significance, often derived originally from visions or other altered state of consciousness experiences. Persons with visible skin disorders have often been stigmatized. Building resilience through spiritual and religious interactions with various skin disorders are discussed.
