Like most professions, Metaphysics has its own
vocabulary. However, the difference is that we are rather
unregulated, so although we may use similar terminology, we
may not mean the same thing. This may create a feeling of
discontinuity, or make it appear that some of us agree or
disagree with one another. To be as clear as possible I have
included a list of commonly used words or phrases with
explanations. These definitions are solely mine, and although
they may be shared by other metaphysicians, are not by any
means a general standard.
Angel – non-human energetic life form,
positive in nature, generally displays through heat and/or
sweet/pleasant aromas, engenders feelings of peace, love, joy,
etc.
Demon - non-human energetic life form,
negative in nature, generally displays through extreme
temperatures and/or sour/offensive aromas, engenders feelings
of fear, hopelessness, rage, etc.
Ghost – human [or animal] whose
physical body has expired, human soul which is attached to the
physical realm usually due to fear, Soul which has not
rejoined or reconnected to the Source or Spirit, displays
through cold and a feeling of static electricity, engenders
feelings of extreme despair, anxiety, anger, etc. Feelings
vary by occasion and situation.
Spirit – The Great Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Holy Spirit, knowable form of God
spirit – human [or animal] souls which
have crossed over, or reconnected with the Source
Crossed over – the act of a soul
rejoining with the Source, a dimensional shift in
consciousness which generally takes place shortly after death
[within 30 days]
Pulling energy – allowing white light
energy to permeate your physical body
White Light Energy – pure,
unconditional love, part of the Source, your connection to the
Source
Source - God
Medium – One who converses with the
dead. There are three types that I have become aware of; Those
who can communicate just with ghosts, just with spirits or
both.
Emotional Imprint – Energetic residue
left by a traumatic event. Often when people witness an act
being played out repeatedly it is an emotional imprint, not a
haunting. One cannot interact with the players of the scene if
it is an emotional imprint.
Empathic – One who can physically
experience the emotions of another being or place. An empath
will be affected by an emotional imprint.
Chakra or Chakkra – Energy center in
the body or aura. The main chakkras most commonly known are:
