As Reiki practitioners, we know the profound power of energy. We’ve felt the warmth of healing flow through our hands and seen the light in the eyes of those we’ve helped. Reiki isn’t just something we do; it’s something we *are*. It’s a gift, a calling, a deep connection to something greater than ourselves. But let’s talk honestly—especially about the one thing that seems to trip so many of us up: money.

Some of us carry the belief that because Reiki is a gift from Spirit, it shouldn’t have a price tag. I get it. I truly do. The idea that healing energy should be exchanged for money can feel uncomfortable, even wrong. After all, we didn’t receive this gift to profit from it, right? But here’s the thing: if you’re pouring your energy into healing others, you need to honor the value of what you’re offering—and that includes being willing to charge for your services.

Imagine this: you’re ready to leave your 9-5 job behind and devote yourself to Reiki full-time. You envision waking up each day, excited to share this beautiful practice with the world, no longer tied to a desk, free to follow your passion. But then reality hits. How will you pay the bills? How will you keep a roof over your head and food on the table if you’re not charging—or charging enough—for your sessions?

This isn’t just about money; it’s about recognizing your worth. When you undervalue your services, you’re not just shortchanging yourself—you’re also sending a message to the universe that what you offer isn’t worth much. And if you don’t believe in your worth, how can you expect others to?

Charging for Reiki doesn’t diminish its spiritual value. In fact, it does the opposite. When you set a price for your sessions, you’re affirming that what you do is valuable, that your time, energy, and expertise are worth something. And that’s powerful. It’s an act of self-respect and self-love, and it sets the tone for how others will respect and value your work.

Let’s take it a step further. Charging appropriately for your services allows you to serve more people. If you’re financially stable, you can focus on your practice without the stress of making ends meet. You can invest in further education, expand your offerings, and perhaps even offer sliding scales or pro bono sessions to those who genuinely can’t afford it. Financial abundance enables you to give from a place of fullness rather than depletion.

Think about the clients who come to you for healing. They’re making an investment in themselves when they pay for a session. They’re committing to their own healing journey, acknowledging that they’re worth the time, energy, and money they’re putting into it. By charging for your services, you’re holding space for that transformation. You’re inviting your clients to see themselves as worthy of healing and worthy of investing in.

So, if you’re struggling with the idea of charging for Reiki, I encourage you to reflect on this: you’re not just selling a service; you’re offering a pathway to healing, to peace, to self-discovery. And that is *invaluable*. Spirit has given you this gift, not so you can give it away for free, but so you can share it in a way that’s sustainable, for you and for those you help.

Embrace the abundance that’s available to you. Step into your worth with confidence. You have the power to create a life that aligns with your soul’s purpose, where your work as a Reiki practitioner is honored, respected, and, yes, compensated. By doing so, you’re not just healing others—you’re healing your relationship with money, with self-worth, and with the boundless possibilities that await when you truly believe in the value of what you offer.

Reiki on,
