Not-so-recent free offer of distant Reiki and chakra reading has showed me one thing, at least – people are eager to get psychic services, but they’re rarely willing to pay for them. And this leads me to another question – should psychics get paid for their services? Should we turn our skills and knowledge into business? And what about money and spiritual growth? In short – money and psychic stuff and spiritual growth can coexists. But, it’s a bit more complex than this. Paying for psychic services can teach you few things about attracting abundance into your life.

Psychic Development Simplified
The Problem Is Not In Money, The Problem Is In Perceiving The Money
Why do I even mention the money issue on a psychic development and spiritual growth blog? Well, because I see the problem in people thinking that money are evil, and they block your growth. But the truth is, that money aren’t evil, they’re just tools. And as tools, they can help you with your psychic development or spiritual growth, really. This causes several problems:
- Practitioners do not promote their wonderful skills as they do not perceive their abilities as a business opportunity. Because of this, competition is small, and access to psychic healing or psychic readings etc. is limited to those who have enough money to pay hundreds of dollars for an hour of reading. Which isn’t good :).
- Also, the fact that practitioners do now wish to charge for their services is a sign of a deeper problem, related to core image, or a pattern that tells the practitioner that “money are evil” - it’s easy to recognize, that such person will not be able to live a truly abundant life, because of lack of money.
- To continue, those who do not wish to pay for psychic services, sends the message to the universe that says the psychic services are not worth the money. This is also a sign of a deeper problem, based upon which people often do not want to pay for anything. This way, they cannot see the value around them, and as a result, they are unable to attract the value.
When you look at the issue of paying for psychic services, you can see a small model of the bigger world. Since we all have the power to create and shape our life, through negative financial intentions, we create lack. And, on the other hand, through positive financial intentions, we create abundance.
This article is meant for few types of people – those who are thinking about paying for psychic services, those who are psychics and have doubts about making money on their skills, and those who would like to become psychics one day, which might lead them to providing psychic services for money. Finally, I hope this article will help those who have problems with attracting money into their life.
Favorite argument of many psychics is that psychic abilities are gifts of God, and, therefore, they should be used to provide free services, and free services only; otherwise God will take these skills away. But look what’s going on – there are tens of thousands of psychics who are getting paid for their knowledge and skills, and they still do things – no one took them away. This should make some psychic practitioners think :).
Personally, I see psychic abilities as skills that everyone can learn, and everyone can use – whether you will take money for it or not, it’s your choice. But there’s nothing wrong in taking money for psychic abilities, really.
A Matter Of A Matter
We live in a material world, please, do not forget about it. Because we are physical beings, we need food and shelter. And we also want to live wonderful, happy life. To do so, we need entertainment, art, goods of a different sort, friends and life partners. This leads to the fact that we would like to go to a restaurant or pub, cinema maybe, that we would like to take a holiday on Hawaii, or visit Great Pyramid and so on. And because of complex economical structure of this world, we need money to do so.
Do not forget about this, no matter what kind of life you want to live, you need money. And money aren’t bad – they are actually tools that can help us live a great life! They’re not the tools of evil, but they’re tools that can change the world if they are used wisely. As neutral tools, it is your choice that results in good or bad use of money. Through your intention, you can attract a lot of money, and spend them through good actions.
Psychic Isn’t Cheap
What I’m going to say now is going to fit many professional psychics in the world. It will be small rant, or should I say – disclaimer, based on my own example. I make money by selling e-books and providing psychic services. Why do I take money for all of this?
- You need to understand one thing at least – it’s a job. Yea, like full-time job, it means that I make money to make a living. I have people to support, food to buy, bills to pay, little cats to donate for. Being psychic doesn’t mean you’re some spiritual entity, you’re still living human in the Western world, for us, it’s normal job.
- You’re not paying just for service – let’s take my e-books for example. You’re not paying just for the e-book as a piece of electronic document. You’re paying for knowledge inside, for the knowledge I had to collect and understood in the past years. You’re paying for all my experience, mistakes and successes I had, so you won’t make the same mistakes I did. You’re also paying for the coffee I used to drink when I was writing e-books, you’re paying for electricity, for my food, for my bills, for hours of practice. Or let’s take Chakra reading, for example, what are you paying for in this case? First, you pay for my time, and, of course, you pay for my knowledge and experience. You’re also paying for my life energy I’m spending to use that “active sonar” on you :). Then you’re paying for the food, jogging and Tai Chi Chuan that I will use to recharge my psychic batteries. And all of this is just the tip of an iceberg.
Writing a book, or providing psychic services is a result of years of practice, studies and experiences. Add more earthly things to it, like food, coffee, bills etc, and you will understand why psychics charge what they charge. And let’s face the truth – any service’s price, whether it will be freelance graphic design, architecture, private investigations, is a result of hours of studies, practice, experience, food, drinks, bills and future retirement.
All of this creates the value of some sort – you’re paying for this value, and for the results, which this “value” will provide. And this applies not just for psychic services, but for anything in the world – from money to new car. In reality, it’s all about the energy exchange.
The Energy Exchange
When Mikao Usui, the creator of Reiki system, decided to give away Reiki to people in Japan, he did this for free. He was walking among the streets, channeling Reiki to everyone who wanted it. But some time later, he noticed that people were returning to him. He healed them, yet they were returning to him for more, because he felt ill once again. Their life didn’t improve. He then learned that, in this world, people do not respect things that they receive for free, and that they do not recognize the value of things they receive for free. For this reason, he started to charge for his services.
How true is that? Very true, and you might recognize this from your own experience – I do. When people receive something for free – like knowledge, or an ability, or a book, then they do not recognize the real value of the thing they have received. They have problems learning from it, they fail to see the benefits. Therefore, it is important for some way of energy exchange to take place.
Money is such energy exchange – when you give money, you give some form of energy, with an intend. You may feel good about giving money, or you may feel sad about giving money. For this reason, some people attract more money (when they feel good about giving money away), while some other people loose money (when they feel sad about it).
Everything you do is a way of giving or receiving energy. When you receive a psychic or spiritual service, and you give money in exchange, then such exchange is complete. But you don’t need to give money to complete the exchange. It can be food, a place to say, or a bit of advertising for someone who was kind enough to help you for free. Some people prefer money, as this is a form of universal energy exchange in the modern world. Others accept other things, as well. But some form of exchange is needed.
It’s that simple.
If you do not give, how do you want to receive? If you do not provide a service, how do you want to receive gratitude? If you do not produce a product, how do you want to receive money? If you do not give, how do you want to receive? This rule applies to our entire life.
Spiritual Growth & Money
There is one more thing, related psychic and spiritual growth, that I’ve mentioned already. Sometimes, people do not wish to make money by providing psychic or spiritual services, because they believe that money will hold back their spiritual or psychic growth. But the truth is, that money can’t do this - your fear of money can, by creating blockages and negative mind patterns. Actually, becoming a friend with your money is a great way of making few steps forwards on your spiritual development path.
Why so? Because:
- You heal your blockages, so you become less depressive or aggressive, the energy flows better, you’re much more healthy.
- And you attract more money - and more money means that you can spend them on more courses and books and knowledge that can improve your psychic abilities, or push you further on your spiritual path. Because you can’t learn and heal everything on your own, you need to ask others to help you. And others, in this modern world, would like to make more money, too.
For these two reasons, I always advise to heal the financial issues first. When you accept that money are good and that becoming very, very rich is OK with your spiritual growth, only then you can begin learning other things, as well. If you have bad patters regarding money and abundance, then it doesn’t matter who you are and what do you want to do, even if spiritual growth is an after hours hobby. It will be blocked by negative patterns.
It was not until I’ve healed few financial issues on my own, that I begun to speed up my own psychic and spiritual growth. With money, I got access to courses and workshops, and spiritual services that allowed me to deal with some of my blockages and problems. And I continue to do so, I continue to pay for services and workshop that allow me to walk further down the spiritual growth path.
Energy exchange, today the money, is important. If you wish to grow on psychic and spiritual level, you need to understand that everything requires energy exchange. Money are a form of such exchange, so fixing your issues with the money should be your first step towards spiritual growth.
