I have had a wonderful past few days of magic with my angels and guides.  I was blessed to receive a couple of readings from gifted readings and a Reiki healing, which then in turn, lead to an attunement from the angels and ascended masters.  It has been awesome and a blessing and I am so grateful.  Excited to see where it is all headed.

It has also gotten me thinking and brought some things and people  into my life to learn from.  I thought I would share my thoughts here as I have now worked through them myself :

I have been on line for many years, even before I got into the world of spirituality.  I have journaled through Livejournal since it began and it was popular to blog. lol  I have always known the Internet is a medium for helping let the world know my opinion on things.  I also feel as though, in doing so. I have helped many throughout the years.  Saved folks lots of money and time if they want to buy something. Find a good reading or healing or even just a product that works.

Before the Internet it was all about word of mouth and who you knew personally.  But the Internet has opened it all up on a much larger scale so that you can reach many more people simply by typing out a blurb and hitting post.  You are no longer limited to just telling the people you know personally or in your neighborhood.  I think that is just awesome.

What I do find very funny is that since we have graduated from the place of finding a good psychic and whispering it across a tea table during a social visit like it is something to hide, the pattern is shifting to one of lets share the news on a blog or forum when we find someone good or honest.

However, not all people are changing with the times and find it offensive to speak about what you charge for your services in public.  Like spiritually should be sacred and from the mindset of lack, though I would not doubt they enjoy knowing of a good reader or healer so THEY do not waste their hard earned money on someone that is working out of greed and ego instead of the service.  The reason I decided to post about this is that I have had a few people come to me and try to put me in my place for promoting myself or others that I know are really talented and learned at what they do. When I find someone first hand, I like to share.  I get nothing from the sharing or then knowing I am helping others with the information.  I have always been a know it all (umm..hello…I’m a German Aries with claircogniznace , thank you very much) and liked to share my opinions.

I do it to help the world know that they are the real thing.  In this psychic world of fakes,  thieves and con men and women that give our art of spirit a bad name, I think it is important to note the positive people that work from Light and are GOOD.  PLUS, if we are being COMPLETELY honest…There are many people that work hard to be of service, but just aren’t that good at reading and healing and charge money.  The intentions are good, they are good people, just  not that good at the services they try to provide.

Recently I was reminded of an analogy one of my teachers,  Rev. Patricia Bankins, relayed in a class that really hit home for me on this subject.  Back in the day of healers within the Native American tribes, the medicine man or shaman would never need to worry about money, clothes, food or anything, because the tribe would make sure all of their needs were provided daily in exchange for the healing services and advice they gave.  They would wake up each morning and food would be at their doorstep, clothing provided, new shoes, etc.  This was because the tribe honored and knew that their time was better served in the healing work instead of acquiring these daily needs for themselves.

In the western world, we have lost this appreciation for the healers.  Therefore, charging for services has become necessary to clothe ourselves, feed our families, and just plain live.  Money is an exchange of energy for time and services and that is simply just the way the Western world is now structured. That’’s just reality.  But there are still people that believe you should live in lack to be spiritual.

Too be honest, I think this is and never was the case.  The universe is a place of abundance in all things.  There is enough and more for everyone.  So there is no need to live in lack AND do spiritual work.  Just as you would have no issue paying a therapist or medical doctor for an hour of their time, the same should be to pay a reader or healer.  Many times the result are far greater and you have been given more attention and time for the service paid for.

I also found it very interesting that as these people have been coming into my life lately, I have been receiving messages and cards from my spiritual team to believe in my self and self worth.  It cannot be a coincidence.  So I decided to blog it out here   I know the right people will be drawn to it and learn what I am about.  Not that it really matters though, as I am as I am.  I am a work in progress.  I learn daily and apprecaite the lessons as they are given to me from all sources.

I am also hoping that it will at least help some people that have this mindset to see a new way of thinking and release the shame and judgment that they are feeling over others.  Maybe question themselves as to why they find it offensive when someone tries to help another in this way or if someone promotes themselves because they need the money to live while theyare being of service to the world by sharing information, time or healing.  What mirror is being held up and what fears are arising in themselves to feel these negative emotions about another person.  Because for me, though I don’t always succeed, one of the things I m working on most is to release my judgment of others.  I try to ask myself what it is that is that I am fearing or the reason these negative feelings are coming up in me and work through them or ask for help to do so from the Divine.

Much love and blessings
