What is Metaphysics For Life and how can it help you get more out of your life?

What is metaphysics?

Is it just some esoteric branch of philosophy with no practical applications?

Or is it, as I have found in my own life, the one field of inquiry that can be applied to absolutely any and all areas of interest or concern in anyone's life?

Hi, my name is Ilana and I am here to share with you a little about myself, how and why I decided to create Metaphysics-For-Life.com, and how I hope it can be of benefit to you.

I wasn't always interested in metaphysical studies - at least, not intentionally.

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan in the USA, but my parents always bought homes that were on the edge of the city and surrounded by farmland, trees and ponds or wetlands.

I loved nature and spent as much free time as I could in the woods and fields surrounding my home. One of my favorite activities was collecting pollywogs or tadpoles and raising them until they transformed into toads or frogs!

My dad was an avid gardener. I spent many hours in the yard with him, planting and caring for the fruit trees, berry bushes, and vegetables, not to mention all the fun times eating cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and gooseberries!

But that's not where the story of Metaphysics For Life begins.

In my mind, this story begins in Poland in 1939.

That was the year that Germany invaded Poland during WWII. You see, my parents were both born in small towns in Poland. My dad was one of nine children, and his parents were Orthodox Jews - that was their religious heritage. My dad and one younger brother were the only survivors of his entire family during that war. My mom's family escaped to Russia and they all survived.

what does that have to do with metaphysics?

Remember, I told you that metaphysics can be applied to any and every area of life...and it was my experience as a child of Holocaust survivors that eventually led me to this realization.

Let's jump forward now to 1999 - that's sixty years later! I was going on 40 and I was going through a divorce. The stress of the divorce led me to seek counseling, and it was there that I learned I had PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Now PTSD is something normally experienced by war veterans or survivors of traumatic incidents - such as 9-11, earthquakes and tsunamis - that sort of thing. I personally never experienced so much as a fender bender, let alone any real physical or emotional trauma...or so I thought.

When I was a little girl, hanging out in the garden with my dad, he would tell me stories about what happened to him and his family in Europe during the war. Like any little girl who loves her daddy, I was an avid listener. What we could not know at the time was that these stories were being perceived by my vulnerable young mind as if I was actually living through the events myself.

That's right. I became a vicarious Holocaust survivor! THAT is how powerful thoughts, ideas and images can be!

It wasn't until thirty years later that I became aware of the effects PTSD had upon my mind and emotions, and how it had shaped my life.

One of the effects was that I spent the first thirty-plus years of my life living in a kind of "bubble". I am a deeply empathic person, but during those years I was unable to feel or sense what others might be going through.

This prevented me from making heart-to-heart connections with others.

This heart connection with others is a metaphysical phenomenon, and it's essential to personal happiness and success.

The other effect was that the lack of human connection forced me to develop a very deep heart connection with nature and the Earth. This heart connection with Earth is essential to the survival of humanity on this planet and something that needs to be paid attention to and developed if we are to make it through these times of Galactic transition. (You will find info on how metaphysics is being applied to environmental and energy challenges througout this site.)

My deep desire to heal the PTSD and free myself from its effects led to my discovery of a process I now call the Heartcompass LifeNavigation System, which you can learn more about when you explore Metaphysics-For-Life.com. There is a free Course online that I posted on Blogger (see link at bottom of this page), or you can have the eCourse sent to your email inbox when you make a small donation to Metaphysics-For-Life (click the pink box at the bottom of the page for more info...).

The Heartcompass LifeNavigation System, which literally came to me in a dream one night, is not a manifestation or law of attraction tool - although it certainly began with that intention. I wanted a tool for healing PTSD, and for attracting the success I felt I lacked as a consequence.

You see, I was frustrated with law of attraction tools I had used such as Vision Boards and affirmations. I found I could manifest things with my mind, but these manifestations always seemed to come with their opposites.

That's because the ego-mind is dualitstic in nature - if I create health, somewhere there must be illness; if I manifest wealth, somewhere there must be poverty; and so on. This is a law of the physical Universe and cannot be avoided - just think about it for a moment - the law of attraction only applies in a Universe where there is illusion of separation!

It took years of practice with the Heartcompass LifeNav System to come to this realization:

Heartcompass LifeNavigation and Metaphysics-for-Life are about creating A Mind With Heart.

It's about learning to recognize false fear-based beliefs (PTSD by definition is a set of fear-based thoughts or beliefs) and replacing those with Love-based Truth from the Heart.

You see, the Heart is actually a center for consciousness and intelligence. It is the Mind's connection to Source or Spirit. And it is the only way we have to create life experiences that are truly happy and peaceful, healthy and prosperous - without the dualistic opposites created by the self centered ego-mind, which is simply the illusion of a Mind without Heart!

The results I achieved with the LifeNavigation System were so different and surprising, I just had to know how it worked. I found my answers when I began to study Metaphysics.

What is Metaphysics?

Metaphysics is the study of the true nature of reality.

Metaphysical principles can be applied to any area of Life - science and technology, health and relationships, spirituality and religion, and understanding the true nature of Mind and Heart.

It is a study that cannot be conducted with the head alone.

It must include the intelligence of the Heart. That is why you will find organizations and individuals like Heartmath, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Bruce Lipton, Lynn McTaggart, Gregg Braden, and many others featured throughout this site. These are people who study, practice, and teach methods for accessing the wisdom of the Heart, so it can be applied with the Mind.

I hope you'll take the time to truly explore all that is available to you here.

I built this website to bring together the incredible wealth of information and resources available online. It took me years of exploring, studying, and applying what I have learned to be able to bring it all together under one roof, so to speak, to make it easier and faster for you to discover what Metaphysics is and what it can do for your life.
