Anyone offering valuable services ought to be compensated for their time and effort. Spiritual advisors, healers, and channelers are no exception. It shouldn't matter if the service being offered is more of a physical or spiritual substance.

On the other hand, there are also activities and relationships in the spiritual arena that should never involve a transaction of money. An example is the teacher to the student. There’s a fine line in spiritual work between what one may accept payment for and what should never be sold as a commodity.

It’s difficult to broach this topic of money in the spiritual community because it ruffles feathers. Spiritual workers know that they deserve to make a living, and yet truth seekers are skeptical of paying for something that seems mostly invisible to the eye. So, what follows is an explanation of what services ought to be paid for and, alternatively, what should never involve an exchange of money. I hope the reader will find this to be a succinct and satisfactory answer on the topic.

Which spiritual services deserve to be paid?
