There is no such thing as metaphysics .So you can make up ways of using the word. Tbere is no right or wrong.

Traditionally given by the oracular phrase: "The science of being as such."

Secondary and derivative meanings: (a) Anything concerned with the supra-physical. Thus "metaphysical healing", "metaphysical poetry", etc. (b) Any scheme of explanation which transcends the inadequacies or inaccuracies of ordinary thought http://www.ditext.com/runes/m.html
