This survey study (n=2055) explored if having a mystical-type experience impacted peoples levels of existential isolation (the subjective sense one is alone in one's experience) and subsequently, their levels of meaning in life. It was found that the previously reported negative impact levels of existential isolation have on a person's levels of meaning in life was not present in those who have had a mystical experience.
