The Future of Metaphysical Religion in America[electronic resource] /edited by Mark Silk, Christopher White. - 1st ed. 2022. - XVII, 119 p. 3 illus.online resource. - Boundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies,2214-529X. - Boundaries of Religious Freedom: Regulating Religion in Diverse Societies,1.

Introduction -- Metaphysical Religion and Spirituality: A Measured Approach -- The Place of Nature in Metaphysical Religion: A Brief History -- Mind, Body, and Spirit: Metaphysical Healing in America -- Architects of the Now, Gatekeepers of the Past: Transformational Festivals and Other Destinations of “Spiritual” Americans -- Spiritualizing the Other: Appropriating and Commodifying Practices in Metaphysical Religion.

This collection of essays by leading scholars explores the present, dynamic state of metaphysical religion in America. It includes chapters that: put survey data on this growing group in context; clarify definitional issues in the study of spirituality in general and metaphysical spirituality in particular; and assess the networks, conferences, rituals, festivals, retreat centers and periodicals recently developed by metaphysicals. The contributors discuss characteristic practices of mental healing and meditation, and show the reach of metaphysical ideas into public spaces and popular media cultures. One particular chapter also addresses the growing controversy over the legitimacy of metaphysical individuals and movements that appropriate elements of Native American and Asian religious beliefs and practices to enrich or sustain their own practice. This rich collection appeals to students, researchers, professionals and the layperson interested in knowing more about the history and more importantly the direction that American metaphysical religion is taking. .
