Have you ever been in an accident and felt that time slowed down?

Have you felt time stretch radically, or even apparently disappear, in a state of deep meditation? 

Join psychologist, Dr Steve Taylor, as he shares his years of research into Time Expansion Experiences (TEEs). Steve argues that TEEs are real altered states of consciousness, rather than a trick of recollection, and that they are almost always positive, with a sense of calm well-being, clarity and heightened awareness. Many people feel that the surplus time gives them the opportunity to take preventative action in emergencies. 

• What do unusual states of consciousness such as mystical experiences, psychedelic experiences, and near-death experiences tell us about time and consciousness?

• What does modern physics say about the idea of linear time?

• Is it possible to speed up or slow down time by inducing TEEs?
