So, I am curious to see what opinions are like around here on this. I bring it up because I am a practicing energy healer and despite all rationalizations I just dont feel proper asking for money for healing. I feel that healing is such an important aspect of growth that it should be freely available to all.
This of course is difficult for me since I do not gain enough income to pay for my own accomodations or even food much of the time, and thus I have to rely on the generosity of my family, which makes me feel terrible for taking up those resources. It is possible for me to go live freely on the land, I am able to do that, but I struggle with that because I feel like I need to be available as a healer, and living in the forest makes me less available.
I am capable of numerous other spiritual services as well, beyond healing, but there is nothing there which is not already widely available, both for a price and for free. In many cases I simply feel my services are not necessary.
There have been times where I have been paid or given money as a donation for my services, and even then I had a hard time accepting it.
How do you all feel about paying for any such service?
Another question would be, what's the difference between an energy/spiritual service, and any other kind of service?
Do you feel some kinds of service are more associated with money than others?
