Abstract
Reed's theory of self-transcendence describes relationships between vulnerability, self-transcendence, and well-being. Contemplative practices can promote self-transcendence and well-being, consistent with this theory. The central concepts of Reed's theory of self-transcendence are presented. Ways contemplative practices can be utilized to promote 1 or more dimensions of self-transcendence and well-being are discussed.
