IVE JUST SEEN SOMETHING THAT MADE ME SMILE. i SAW AN ADVERT ON MYLOT

You can start making money Eskarena. I think this is a good business as not everyone is gifted with that kind of skill. Some people do not mind parting with their money if the reading makes them happy. It is a service rendered and like doctors charging consultancy fees without even giving medications. Think about it.

I wouldn't appreciate anyone charging such exorbitant amount for a reading. Being a psychic yourself, can you please do some reading regarding me . Pl,.send me a personal message . Thanks in anticipation .

Hi Eskarena, I know quite a few psychics who refuse the exchange of money for their 'gift' and believe this is quite common as it is a 'gift' afterall, but on the other hand, because I wouldn't class myself as a 'psychic' mainly because I haven't had chance to develop, then the ones that do offer services for money are quite handy as I wouldn't want a friend to read for me as I think I would be able to tell from their face if they saw something bad (I hope that makes sense) I think as long as the person is genuine and not charging an arm and a leg for the privelage I can't really see a problem with it if they are helping others.. Blessed Be

WOW i read just one of your discussions and replied to it and now i get to see this! i hope you can read something for me and send me a personal message if you dont mind! i dont have any specific question but i would just like to know something in general. Thank you and bless you :)

Well, I know that's a feeling people have in many professions (especially in the Reiki community). I look at it this way: Is your work as a psychic your primary job? If not, then it's your perogative not to charge. If it is, however, you should not feel negative about charging for your services. It's a gift you have to share, but as long as you are legitimate, you should not feel bad about charging for it.

I'm very intrigued by you... I like the way you think and I did have a friend who had a gift (now she's gone to Spain and I hardly hear from her). I'm an Aquarian, so I think it's in my nature to be attracted to paranormal. Would you mind if I add you to my friends'list? I'll send you a request. Blessed be

Well I do not do reading but I would most certainly never hand money over the Internet for a reading I know I am blond but I am not that blond I have never had a reading done I have to admit I am to scared to have one done lol

Well, I do charge a fee..or sometimes they give me something in kind..(treat to a famous restaurant, some jewelry, etc)..but they always give something nice in exchange in lieu of money (a rare book, a favor). I explain that being psychic does not stop there..I go on study. Ive been to places in SEA to hone this gift, temples in Bangkok and Hongkong, healing and Tarot sessions with friends and give lectures on them with private people and the Academe...doing so entails money...A gypsy psychic needs to eat too...

Sad part is... many do!

I have always thought that any psychic powers were a gift from God and not to be used for monetary gain or the power would fade.

I wouldn't pay for a reading but seeing you are a physic and do it for free would you do mine for me? LOL (for real) Thanks!

Well, I've never given a reading, I don't think my abilities are at that level yet, and may never be....BUT if I were to ever read anyone I wouldn't charge them because its not something that was meant to be used in order to make money. I think its wonderful that you don't charge for your readings. Some people with as much ability as you, get a little tempted by the thought of what they could do with some extra money. For all the good that you do, I'm sure karma will definitely reward you....and then maybe others will think twice about the ways they use their own ability.

Hmm...I haven't gone through this whole thread yet, but I did want to comment. I think there are two sides of the coin. On the one hand, there are a lot of scam artist psychics out there who will take advantage of weak people. In my thread, people were commenting about how everyone has latent psychic abilities and that they don't need to pay money to see a psychic. On the other hand, if you indeed have a gift, and you are generously giving of your time and energy, you could justify charging for your service. Think of it this way--almost everyone can become good at violin if they apply themselves and develop their skills. My music teacher says that his goal is for me to be able to teach myself. Theoretically I don't NEED to pay for a teacher every week, but I do benefit greatly from having my lessons--and it's well worth the money just to get the feedback.

seems like a great idea to me .. as you say a fool and his money are soon parted... dont you just love human ingenuity???...hang on ..im having a vision....seems the psychic got hit by a truck.....he just didnt see it coming.. lol.

I, too, have thought in the past that accepting money for services that one can offer by virtue of one's gifts is somehow belittling those gifts. However, of late I have begun to think differently. God has given us talents and we are exhorted to use them, invest them and return them to Him multiplied. I consider myself 'good at' a number of things and the only reason that I am is because I have an aptitude (a talent) for them. When seeking to earn one's living it makes good sense to do a job that you enjoy and are good at (if there is a choice). That, surely, is investing one's talents and if an employer is willing to pay me for the benefit of those talents, I see nothing at all wrong with that. I think that the idea that it is somehow wrong to use one's talents for personal gain is only true where greed is involved and where one seeks to amass riches for their own sake by using one's talents. If one makes an honest (and, perhaps, good) living out of doing what one is specially gifted to do but, in doing so, always honours the One who gave you those gifts, then there is surely nothing wrong.
