Someone was wondering recently what spiritual healing actually is.  Well, simply put, it is healing the spirit also referred to as soul.  Some people include metaphysical healing under the umbrella of spiritual healing, but some of us like to differentiate—for several reasons. One reason is that many people equate the word “spiritual” with the word “religious.”  They are related terms, but being spiritual is so much more than being religious.  Plus, in today’s world, the term “metaphysical” has come to mean “occult” to many people. All the word “occult” means is hidden; yet, some people, especially religious people consider it to be an evil or anti-Christ word. Not true, of course.

Let’s move on with some definitions of spiritual healing from the Internet. You may notice that, in the excerpts from various sources shared below, the terms “spiritual” and “metaphysical” seem to be used interchangeably.  My words are in brackets.

William Stillman at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:  Spiritual healing can also pertain to the act of healing others of their physical or emotional ailments through prayer or meditation, which may include the transference of spiritual energy from the administering party through touch or 'laying on of hands."  [In this context, spiritual healing can mean religious healing.]

Boston Women’s Health Club Collective at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:
The word "spirit" includes a wide range of concepts, including nonmaterial beings […]. Techniques and rituals used in spiritual healing may include meditation and prayer, touching with healing intent, communication with the spirit realm, and connecting with sacred deities or ancestors.

Arriana Huffington at https://www.sharecare.com/health/spiritual-therapies/what-is-spiritual-healing:
[…] In this largest sense, it [spiritual healing] is about reconnecting to our souls.

Cambridge Dictionary at https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/spiritual-healing:
Spiritual Healing is the activity of making a person healthy without using medicines or other physical methods, sometimes as part of a religious ceremony.

The Free Dictionary at https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/spiritual+healing:
Spiritual Healing is the use of spiritual practices, such as prayer, for the purpose of effecting a cure of or an improvement in an illness.

Spiritual Research Foundation at https://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/spiritual-healing/spiritual-healing-principles/what-is-spiritual-healing:
Spiritual healing is about the diagnosis and removal of the spiritual root cause of the problem. When the root cause of a problem is in the spiritual [non-physical] dimension, then it needs to be counteracted or treated by some method that is spiritually more potent than the cause of the problem. This is termed as spiritual healing. It involves the use of spiritual energy to overcome the problem, such as removal of distress, caused by negative energies. When those who are not affected by any negative energy distress are exposed to spiritual healing energy, they simply receive the benefits of the additional positive energy.

Aletheia Luna and Mateo Sol at https://lonerwolf.com/spiritual-healing:
Spiritual healing is the practice (and experience) of restoring, harmonizing and balancing our Spirit or Soul.  Spiritual healing is also seen as a transcendental experience of reconnecting with our true nature. As author and teacher Shakti Gawain writes: “Spiritual healing occurs as we begin to consciously reconnect with our essential being – the wise, loving, powerful, creative entity that we are at our core.” There are many different approaches to spiritual healing.

A simple definition of metaphysical healing is healing the non-physical—beyond [more than] physical healing.  “Meta” is beyond. “Physical” is the physical world we see with our own eyes.  Let’s look at some definitions of metaphysical healing, by defining the term metaphysics.

Dictionary at https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metaphysics:
The branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.

University of Sedona at https://universityofsedona.com/meaning-of-metaphysics:
[…] If, then, this is the aim of such interests, it is why most professional metaphysical practitioners regard metaphysics as a spiritual philosophy or way of life. […] In the definition found in most dictionaries, metaphysics is referred to as a branch of philosophy that deals with first cause and the nature of being.  […] In a more absolute sense, we like to think of metaphysics as dealing with the basic questions of life, such as the relationship of man, mind, and the Universe.

Ilana Moss at https://www.metaphysics-for-life.com/definition-of-metaphysics.html:
The Definition of Metaphysics is often given as "the philosophical study of that which cannot be perceived with the five physical human senses".  Another definition of metaphysics may be derived from the meaning of its Greek roots - literally "Meta"; meaning beyond or after, and "Physics"; the science (or study) of matter and energy. 

Again, simply put, spiritual healing is healing the spirit, also referred to as soul, and metaphysical healing is healing the non-physical.  I like simplicity.
