Should psychics get paid for their animal communication sessions? Some people believe that individuals with psychic abilities should use their services to help people free of charge.
Psychics should use their gifts to help serve humanity but professional psychics must charge for their services. Their job is to guide and support people and help them with decision-making, and this is valuable. Psychics also need financial security to ensure they can pay their bills and continue to develop their abilities. Receiving money from readings sets clear boundaries and helps us focus on what matters most, helping us lead happier inspired lives.
So, what are the 8 reasons professional psychics should get paid for their readings?
1. It Is Your Profession and Career Path
Professional psychics should charge for their services because they dedicate their time to helping people find direction, prepare for challenges, support decision-making, understand their gifts, and learn about spiritual development needs.
Spiritual jobs are legitimate professions and all types of psychics including life path readers, tarot readers, astrologers, and palmistry readers, are no exception.
We pay for many types of spiritual and non-spiritual services. When we visit a masseuse, or a chiropractor, join a yoga class, or attend a spiritual retreat, we expect to pay. It is no different when booking a session with a psychic.
2. It is a sign of Our Self-Worth & Value
When we begin our journey as psychics our focus is to learn the basics and practice using one or more different types of divination tools. At this stage, we may decide to offer free services as part of our development process which benefits both the client and the psychic practitioner.
But as we improve our goal changes from quantity to quality of our services. Over time, we get better at it and once we reach a certain level of expertise, we are no longer amateurs but trained healers.
At this point, we perceive the value of our work and our skills and may choose to charge for our services, accept donations, or receive some sort of exchange for our services.
3. It Creates Financial Stability
Most psychics would love to offer their services for free to help people all around the world. But the reality is that most people, including psychics, have financial business obligations and living costs. We need to pay for food, rent, household bills, transport, clothes, just to survive.
Getting paid isn’t a luxury, it is a necessity for those wanting to honor their spiritual gifts to help individuals.
4. We use the Money for Professional Growth
Another reason psychics need to charge is so that they can invest in their personal, professional, and spiritual development.
We are constantly working to develop our skills. We enroll in online courses, read books, attend weekly development classes, join mentoring classes, and purchase a variety of divination tools for out psychic reading sessions. All this costs money. By charging for our services, we can reinvest the money into our development and continuously improve the quality of our services.
5. It Sets Clear Boundaries And Expectations
Charging for services ensures that the psychic’s work is valued and avoids their services and time being taken for granted. Healers may choose to offer donation-based or free healers for those experiencing financial difficulties, but they must avoid becoming overwhelmed by high demand for free services.
6. It Is A Form Of Gratitude For The Exchange
Paying for a psychic reading is an energetic exchange and a sign of appreciation for the psychic’s time and energy. It recognizes their knowledge and expertise about mediumship and values the time and energy exchange of the session.
Most people feel a sense of gratitude and want to pay for these services. When denied the opportunity, they may feel uneasy, and not want to book future readings with you.
7. It Focuses our Attention On The Mission
Psychics need to focus on their mission to support and empower people in their lives. When we are worried about paying the bills it can shift our energy and focus. But when our basic economic needs are met, we feel more settled and relaxed around finances. This helps us focus on what is important, serving the community and guiding people to live fulfilled and happy lives.
8. Not Everyone Wants To Develop Their Gifts
There is some debate among the spiritual community about receiving money in exchange for spiritual gifts such as psychic readings and teaching others to do the same thing.
But the truth is we all have these gifts, we can all learn to heal each other and develop God-given skills. But not everyone wants to dedicate their time and energy to develop these faculties.
Instead, they prefer to pay a professional who is passionate about their job to provide that service for them. This exchange benefits everyone, the client and the healers.
Final Thoughts
Deciding whether or not to charge for your healing services is a personal choice. But what is important, is that you honor your truth and pick the form of exchange that feels right.
You may choose not to charge or accept donations for your sessions, in which case keep the energy flowing, or ask clients to pay it forward in some way.
