Abstract. Muhammad Arfaiz (MA) is a healer born on May 22, 1977, with a strong
spiritual experience. This study aims to describe in depth the spiritual journey of MA. The
research method used in this study uses a qualitative biographical method to understand
the process and stages of the subject's spiritual awakening. Data collection uses direct and
indirect in-depth interviews with MA. Biographical analysis techniques are used to
identify a series of stories chronologically and comprehensively about his life experiences
from childhood to adulthood. Chronologically, the results of the study include: 1) spiritual
crisis, namely experiencing weird illnesses, seeking treatment, dialogue with demons,
attempting suicide, and experiencing out-of-body experiences; 2) spiritual emergence,
namely the spiritual awakening of MA followed by clairvoyance and being able to access
religious symbols as well as several characters, 3) Spiritual seeker: the search for a job that
is appropriate to spirituality, which includes getting a life teacher (visible or invisible), and
the second acceleration of puberty. 4) Become a healer, full-time, using several healing
methods, including egg acupressure, long-distance bioenergetic and bioenergetic, chakra
methods, opening auras, aura points, maximizing chakra points, palm reading, psychics,
healing through nerve points, face acupressure, and tai chi. These results are expected for
psychology to be able to clearly distinguish between pathology and spiritual awakening.
Keywords: Biography, Clairvoyance, Healer, Spiritual Crisis, Transpersonal Psychology.

experiences that significantly shaped his spiritual self. Arfaiz actually wanted to be an ordinary
human being, but the experience of a spiritual crisis made him unable to choose to be an
extraordinary human being.

psychological, and social dimensions. The spiritual dimension is concerned with the search for
meaning and purpose in life, as well as relating to something greater than oneself, such as God,
nature, or universal values. The spiritual dimension can provide a source of strength, hope,
