Why should it be free?

Posted by Donna DeVane on August 15, 2010

I got tickled when reading the responses to an invite on Facebook recently.  A seminar was taking place and believe it or not… they were actually CHARGING for it. LOL  As I read through the responses I had to laugh at the comments.  Seems many folks feel that spiritual teaching should all be done for free. 

I wonder if these people realize that spiritual teachers pay the same utility expenses, buy groceries with money, and perhaps even have children who enjoy wearing clothes and living in a home?  These guys and gals who think it should be free are the same ones who struggle with money issues.  They can’t understand why prosperity seems always just a few more steps away.  Do you get it?  Do you see the thinking, the energy that creates the reality?

As a teacher and a coach I give away lots of time, lots of information.  I also have a child and those monthly expenses, so I understand charging for good and services.  My electric company will not accept a few coaching sessions in exchange for my electricity charges, nor will the local market where I shop for food take jewelry or a healing session for groceries.

I do understand some people are having a challenge right now with money, this is why I offer coaching for a donation of your choice now and again.  The reason I don’t do it for free?  Simple, if you want to experience abundance you want to line up with abundance.  Do you understand what I’m saying here?  On several levels this Facebook experience is showing us things about ourselves.  I noticed in the responses that those who just jumped right in and paid for the tickets were happy, joy filled, excited and experiencing abundance in their lives.  Do you see the connection?  It’s not just about whether or not spiritual teachers should charge or whether or not you should pay for the time and energy someone invests in walking in the wisdom; it’s that and whether or not you really want to experience abundance.

I’ve noticed time and again that the relationship people have with money, with prosperity, shows up in their talking.  Those who fuss about “having to pay for something” are generally the ones who don’t experience much money or joy in life.  Prosperity is a challenge for them.  They don’t seem to realize that a stingy attitude brings about stingy results.  Remember, your thinking/feeling is the energy you are creating with and the energy you create with is always the energy of the creation.  So if you build with lack, fear, resentment, guess what shows up?  Stuff that represents lack, fear and resentment.

I remember a story of an old and wise Native American Medicine Man who received yet another pouch of tobacco as payment for his services.  When asked if this was a good exchange the medicine man replied that the electric  company didn’t take tobacco. 

Let us today realize a few things.

1. People who teach, coach and offer healing services have the same expenses as everyone else.

2. The energy you create with is the energy of the creation.  In other words what you feel during the creation process is going to be the feeling of what you end up with.

3. In order to experience yourself in abundance, you need to experience yourself as abundance.

4. Energy affects energy and money is energy.  Exchange it freely with great joy and delight.  This opens you up to experience even more of it.

I’d like to remind you that giving is the quickest and easiest way of getting.  It throws open the flood gates of abundance in your life.  Give with delight, give freely with a joyful heart.  Exchange money for all those things you enjoy and watch how abundance shows up in greater quantities.

Teachers, healers, authors, spend time and energy in the “Silence” to bring you messages.  This has value.  Honor that.  Watch your life change as you change your attitude about things.

Whether you call it the law of attraction or creative principle, what you think, feel and do creates more of itself.  In it’s likeness it brings forth more of itself.  Get that and everything in your life will change.
