Last year i suffered of a heavy pain on the whole left side of my body. It was so intense, and i said "may be an energy unbalance... why not try to
find if someone can give me a reiki session or two and see if it helps?" and I started to research about reiki practisioners around my area. All of
them charged ridiculous prices so i went to normal doctors, that also charged ridiculous prices (like 600 USD for 1 reiki session, just 300 for the
whole medical tests and appointments), and finally doctors told me it was just stress-caused fibromyalgia (that later, i read in a book it can be
cured through reiki...)
when all of my so called sickness ended, i started to research about how much it costed to actually learn reiki, to practise it for free later and
help people who aren't in position to pay those stupid prices, i was so enthusiastic about it... and i almost DIED when i saw the prices. First
level, around 1500 USD.
I do read the tarot for fun and self growt (and help people), and i've never charged for it. Just when i got too tired (a good tarot reader usually
gets exhausted after a whole reading... ) i ask for a cup of tea with extra sugar to regain energy and nothing else... I've recieved dinner
invitations too and i can't decline the offer because i feel that as a gift too, the same way it was for me to gift the reading. But still, i don't
charge money at any cost.
As I told someone who U2U me some days ago, i find that charging for something like this is stupid. Do you get paid when you donate some money to
charity? or when you buy something to help the poor? no. It's the same here. I'd still love to learn it, and give it as a gift for people who really
needs it as i did last year... Can you ever believe that the ONLY guy who didn't asked for money to teach said "you're not prepared yet" and i
just sent him an email asking the details of the course! grrr... just by recalling this i get angry again =/
