Metaphysical Ministry

What is Metaphysical Ministry?

Metaphysical ministry is a form of spiritual leadership and practice rooted in metaphysics—a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, existence, consciousness, and the "first cause" or ultimate truths beyond the purely physical world (literally "meta" meaning beyond, + "physics").

In this context, it functions as religion without dogma. It emphasizes universal spiritual laws (such as the power of thought, oneness with the divine, manifestation, and the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit), personal empowerment, self-realization, and the idea that individuals co-create their reality through consciousness and alignment with a higher universal intelligence or God-force.

About

My Story

At 40 years old – with three young children – my life crumbled. An abrupt end to my career, loss of a home, and general family dysfunction landed me in the hospital with a Major Depressive episode. Following discharge, I fell into a major clinical depression with regular panic attacks. My life became completely unmanageable, and I submitted to the universe, knowing that only a power greater than myself could help me. As time went by, I slowly got better. 


As I climbed out of my depression through the gift of *Al-anon’s Twelve Steps (no affiliation), I could see these shortcomings were actually blessings. At age 40, my career engulfed me, and my family was neglected. I never could have quit working on my own, Higher Power had to step in. I had to slow down and look around me; and when I did,  I did not like what I saw. I was in poor health; my family was in dysfunction; changes needed to be made. With the help of my Higher Power, I started the work, and continue the work every day. 


Now, my family and I are my priorities. I share what I learn on this blog. 


*Al-Anon Family Groups is an international mutual aid organization for people who have been impacted by another person's alcoholism. (Wikipedia) No affiliation.
