本研究旨在探討一位案主在心理治療過程中的靈性召喚經驗。本研究邀請一位曾在心理治療歷程中經驗過靈性召喚的中年女性個案,接受半結構性的訪談,依循質性研究開放性編碼的原則進行分析。研究結果發現:(一)靈性召喚帶來的靈性經驗是種超驗經驗,被扶持的經驗,並經驗到內在靈性所展現平靜、無我、以及放鬆的品質。(二)靈性召喚與自行靜坐經驗在體會到「靜」的品質是相似的,但在靈性召喚經驗中,個案的保持覺知、諮商師的引導與協助命名對案主而言更有幫助。(三)靈性召喚對案主的協助包括讓案主認出內在靈性,並與之連結,從而感受到自身的完整感;能夠安在,面對問題;包容過去的創傷,並且理解到自己與他人本質上的對等;瞭解到照顧自己內在的重要性;持續想回歸其內在靈性經驗。(四)鋪陳對靈性召喚是重要的,對於靈性召喚的效果具有催化的作用。鋪陳是由外而內的歷程,是諮商師與個案的合作探索,其協助個案接觸自己的內在與身體感受,並使個案逐漸建立對諮商師的信任。
The purpose of the study was to investigate a client's experience of awakening the true nature in the psychotherapy practice. The researcher conducted semi-structural interviews with a female client who had this experience. Open coding method was applied to analyze the collected data. The main findings are as follows: First, the experience of awakening the true nature is hard to describe or express with words; however, it conveys a sense of tranquility that made the client feel supported and experienced the transcendental empiricism of Anātman or non-self. Second, this experience is different from what she experienced during the sitting meditations. In the session, the client was aware of the process of awakening the spirit, and gained insight that our true human essence exists in all kinds of situations. Third, the awakening the true nature helped the client realizing the existence of inner nature and spiritual equality, grounding herself to face problems, embracing her past trauma, and keeping contact with her inner nature. Finally, the ”layout” named by the client is a groundwork that facilitates the experience of awakening the true nature. ”Layout” is a from-outside-to-within process. It helps the client to be in touch with her inner feelings and senses of her body, and enable the client to keep working on the awareness and internalization. In the ”layout” process, the client and the psychotherapist were able to gradually form a trusting relationship and partnership. Recommendations for the psychotherapy practice and the future research were also proposed.
