Abraham Maslow - Signposts of Peak Experiences / States

Maslow described Peak Experience as “Self-validating moments which carry their own intrinsic value . . . i.e. they are ends in themselves.”

Maslow believed that “Peak Experiences cannot be planned, nor brought about by design.” In simple English - you have no control over when you will have a Peak Experience.

Stephanie's Unique Development

Through her 30 years of work Stephanie has shown that Peak Experience/States can become self-initiated through a connection to our Core Values.

In Theory: Stephanie Shipper has created her Peak States / Core Values Intensive by synthesizing key aspects of the work of three masters; Wyatt Woodsmall – Peak Performance Modeling; Abraham Maslow – Peak Experiences; Milton Erickson – Ericksonian Hypnosis; coupled with insights gained through her counseling practice and her years of training in Raja Yoga meditation.

In Practice: A person’s Core Values are determined through in-depth analysis of their verbal responses to highly specific questions as well as non-verbal ‘cue patterns’ which accompany these responses.

Key indicators are found by observing changes in breathing patterns. Associated with the breathing changes are changes in energy - fundamental tonal shifts which Stephanie perceives visually, auditorily and viscerally.
