Emporiblog - Physical Vs Metaphysical

Hello all!! Today, we're going to talk about something important and something that often gets overlooked on the spiritual path and that is: is the physical or metaphysical?


Allow me to explain....



Things happen for a reason. And, normally, when there's no logical reason that we can see, we're quick to call out the metaphysical or see the metaphysical in everything. This is all well and good but, we mustn't neglect the physical world. For example:


Plants. If you have plant wards or use plants in your craft and notice that said plant/s isn't like it should be, what do you immediately do? Some will immediately up their protections and cleanse which, don't get me wrong, is a logical thing to do but you must also take into account the physical needs of the plant. Is it watered appropriately? Is it in the right soil and getting enough light? Has the temperature/weather been different than normal? If you've upped your protections and cleansed but your plant still isn't right, check the physical symptoms.



Feeling more tired than normal. This one is an obvious one. Feeling more tired than normal can have endless causes but, if you've cleansed, upped protections, meditated and performed self care and still feel off, you need to look at the physical. Are you resting/sleeping adequately? Are you taking on more than you should? If you can't pinpoint the answer, don't be afraid to go to the doctor (if you can get hold of one). By being able to see a doctor, I found that I had underlying health problems that contribute to fatigue that, unfortunately, no amount of cleansing or herbal baths can fix. You always need to have your health as a priority.



Taking medication. There are people out there that wrongfully claim that taking medication will hinder your spirituality. This is utter nonsense! Taking medication, be it, over the counter like paracetamol or allergy tablets, antidepressants or life saving like insulin, will not hinder your spiritual journey. Looking after your physical health by taking medication, if it's needed, will help you in the long run!!



Changing behaviours. Now, whenever a new chapter of someone's life is started, it is common for behaviours to change as this chapter takes shape however, if the behaviour change is drastic to the point where the person is completely different, it could point to an underlying health problem. Yes, retrogrades, the moon, other astral events and spiritual awakenings can alter behaviour but, these things are temporary and if the behaviour change is prolonged, it might be worth getting a medical opinion.



Symptoms of sickness. Symptoms of sickness can be caused by the Evil Eye, Hexes, Curses and negativity but, before you jump to metaphysical conclusions, rule out the physical. Get yourself checked out first, then worry about the metaphysical.




The point of this post is to make sure that you've got all of your bases covered and have looked at every possible cause. I go by physical before metaphysical. Rule out the physical possibilities first and then start working on the metaphysical possibilities. Not everything has a metaphysical cause or can be helped with metaphysical solutions.



I think we'll leave this here! I hope you've enjoyed this post and remember to look after yourself both physically and metaphysically!!


Blessings,
