Metaphysical refers to a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of reality, existence, and the fundamental nature of being that goes beyond the physical and material world. In a broader sense, metaphysical concepts often deal with abstract, spiritual, or supernatural topics, such as the existence of souls, the afterlife, consciousness, and higher dimensions. The term is commonly used in New Age and paranormal contexts to describe phenomena or ideas that are not fully understood by science, such as psychic abilities, energy healing, and the interconnectedness of all life through non-physical forces.
Metaphysical practices and beliefs often focus on exploring deeper spiritual truths, self-awareness, and the unseen forces that shape reality.
