Did you know that the ancient Greeks first used the term “metaphysics” and considered it a branch of philosophy?   The prefix “meta” appears in the Greek, with the meanings: after, along with, beyond, among, behind.  So “metaphysics” would mean beyond physics, which is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. Some definitions of “metaphysics”: a branch of philosophy that studies the relationship between mind and matter; a branch of philosophy that deals with the study of nature regarding existence and the universe; the underlying theoretical principles of a subject or field of inquiry.

What is commonly referred to as “metaphysical” in this day and age can be more accurately defined as “occult.”  Here’s what some dictionaries give us about the “occult”:  supernatural, mystical, or magical beliefs, practices, or phenomena; hidden from view; not easily apprehended or understood, not manifest or detectable by clinical methods alone.

And that leads us to the word “psychic”: of or relating to the psyche (the mind, or the deepest thoughts, feelings, or beliefs of a person); psychogenic (having origin in the mind or in a mental condition or process); lying outside the sphere of physical science or knowledge; sensitive to nonphysical or supernatural forces and influences. 

Most, if not all dictionaries define “spiritual” as: relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things.  That sums it up quite nicely.   We might as well define “religious” so as to differentiate between “spiritual” and “religious”: relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity; having a strong belief in a god or gods.

The words defined above are loosely construed in these times, and there is some overlap in definitions, so we have attempted to include the basic definitions here to lessen confusion.

I'm more focused on wellbeing of the soul and spirit (spiritual) rather than supernatural matters--although clearly separating the two is probably impossible and even undesirable for healing and wellbeing facilitators.  My spiritual gifts aka psychic skills are part of the Angel-Light package. However, I'm unable to teach anyone who is fascinated with the occult aka metaphysical how to be psychic, etc. However, I do recommend establishing and maintaining a strong spiritual connection (with one's soul hierarchy and higher selves) and living as soul in order to be more spiritually attuned and, thus, able to discern in matters of the supernatural (a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or the laws of nature).

I like these words of Margaret Paul, Ph.D.: “If you want to be a spiritual person, then let kindness be your guiding light--kindness toward yourself, toward others, toward animals and toward this beautiful planet that is our home.”
