How do the words of Metaphysical and Chapel or Church go together?
I have seen some churches that are part of the United Metaphysical Churches Association. The Metaphysical Chapel of South Florida is in my area. I went to their website www.MetaphysicalChapel.com to learn more. What does the Bible say about psychics and mediums and metaphysical stuff? thus…how do they go “together”?

Not related at all.
Church comes from the greek word “Ecclesia”. This means called out ones. The Church represents those who have been called from spiritual darkness into the light of truth in Christ Jesus.
Romans 10:9
Exodus 20:8-11

In this world we seem to think that someone can be elevated to a grand
status by other people that have followed a similar path and declared
themselves to be properly trained and empowered. Main stream religion
has produced thousands of priests, preachers, ministers, bishops and
etc., most of them claiming to be appointed by a Godly power.
They stand before you and perform rituals and spout stuff they have heard
repeatedly since infancy. Not many miracles are performed except in
churches where the hysteria level is very high.
Now there are a few places where for twenty five dollars you can buy
a document that proclaims you to be a reverent individual and empowers
you to perform weddings and whatever rites you deem appropriate,
without jumping through hoops to please other “authorities” for several
years. You might not be as smooth talking, but you enjoy the same
legal status. And it is [possible that you may actually even have a gift
to share with others. Mediums and other psychics can sometimes
spark peoples imaginations and help them get over rough spots in their
lives. Like other preachers, some are real and some are phonies
just drawing a pay check.
You benefit, if you think you do..

Why does God oppose psychics and mediums when there his children?
I hear people saying people with these gifts or curses didn’t come from God but demons. And engaging in this activity like Ouija Boards is a sin. But why? God didn’t write the bible he did the 10 commandments. I believe in him and that Jesus died for our sins, so what’s the harm in them using what they have for good? Why can’t I play a ouija, board?
Suggestion by Kathleen
They are NOT his children. All people are made in the image of God. Only people who have a relationship with Jesus are his children. “God didn’t write the bible.” And you know this, how?

Incorrect, The Bible strongly condemns spiritism, mediums, the occult, and psychics (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). Horoscopes, tarot cards, astrology, fortune tellers, palm readings, and séances fall into this category as well. These practices are based on the concept that there are gods, spirits, or deceased loved ones that can give advice and guidance. These “gods” or “spirits” are demons (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that deceased loved ones can contact us. If they were believers, they are in heaven enjoying the most wonderful place imaginable in fellowship with a loving God. If they were not believers, they are in hell, suffering the un-ending torment for rejecting God’s love and rebelling against Him.

Suggestion by Joyful Noyzmaker
You need to pray to Yahweh (the One and ONLY God); He is the only one that can help you. You need to realize that your sinful nature is what allows Satan and his demons to harass you and only by the power of the Holy Spirit of God (whom you receive upon acceptance of Christ Jesus as your Lord and Risen Savior) can you vanquish demonic spirits.
Suggestion by LELSIE
Joyful noisemaker is absolutely right. Whatever you do, don’t go to a medium, “healer, or psychic. This will only open the door further to demonic activity in your life. Call upon the name of Jesus. Find a mature TRUE Christian and talk to them, perhaps a pastor at a church, and let them tell you about Jesus and give your life to Jesus, if you have never done so. This may require a lot of prayer and you may go through a lot of things but Jesus is the only solution to your problem.
