Spot on, Leija, about taking care of one self before helping others: "Physician, heal thyself." If we are not an example of what we teach then of what genuine value are we to others?
I also appreciated your point about not being guilty to charge for our services. Energy invested needs to be compensated. Basic economic physics.
Leija, this video was the answer to the intentions I set with the universe today. I am working on manifesting right now, a move to a more beautiful place and a "job" that is my true power and passion. I want to be a healer! I love yoga and nutrition and dance and I want so dearly to share that with others and be that completely. I am excited to begin on this journey and your videos continue to inspire and motivate me, love and light to you beautiful!
That was a good thing for me to hear right now. Thank you. I'm curious if your familiar with Robert Anton Wilson as he talks a lot about the nature of the BS (belief systems) and the systems imposed in our world .
I think you have it backwards, but blessing and best wishes to you. It is though giving to other that we recieve. If you are talking about material things then yes, you get more by giving to yourself. If you corolate material abundance to well being then by all means give to yourself. But when it comes to love, you do have to give it to get it. When you speak of matters of the spirit, well that just comes on it's own. You can't buy it or sell it.
Part of the problem is that people associate money with evil and this is false. Also, in our field; many people are always quickly calling us snake oil salesman; also false. Talking about dis-ease; I myself am having a health problem at present, digestive problems and much of it is related to that I know I am not doing what I should be doing. I agree with many people, you have a great energy
You should do a vid on the western doctor profession and the pharmaceutical companies and how their role in society is to keep people sick so they can make profit. Aswell as how the little pills have 15 effects 3 are useful and the other 12 are "side" effects. Thanks :)
Leija, i can totally relate to your video. whenever I talk to someone about my Out of body experiences some people often ridicule, but its those individuals who have been touched by my experiences that means alot.
Leija - really quick - I want to ask if you've seen the TED talk from Janet Echelman called "Taking Imagination Seriously". If not, I definitely recommend it, it reminded me of this video... and about the importance of art in this world. Cheers!
Hi Leija, nice, fun, detailed, practical, openminded vid, Just a Note btw: Please continu 2 Ramble on about whatever unplanned topic you end up discussing; as it has been noticed in many alike youtube videos, that people/presenters who end up talking/rambling about stuff that strays from the main topic, Usually say what's really on their mind when they ramble, and it comes out PURE, genuinly passionate and relateable, like ur comments on conventional mediciin, Thanks, StaySweet, BlessedBe
I see this all the time. These people would rather these people go to work in an office and feed the system. They also expect others to serve them like slaves for free or they are 'bad' people LOL. Most of them are actually still at school...
Actually, by Law of Return, if the patient donates or pays the back the energy (may it be money or any other way) to the healer, the healing energy will work many times faster because the person is giving something in return with the intention to be healed =), if they pay in advance the healing process starts even BEFORE the healing session has even started! =)
Im a artist/healer and what your talking about is correct. I know a lot about the corruption in art and would not like the idea of catering to the rich with my art but in the same sense its not going anywhere. I have thought that the people who seem to get or take so much from me do not realize what it took for me just to become the person who i am today. I hate to say in one way or another you do have to market yourself as a artist/healer to have income from it. Free energy would also help.
Yey Leija!! You rock! As always! I totally agree with everthing you say here! I am so happy that you posted this message. It's empowering and I hope everyone will get it!
Thank you for this video! I'm a motion graphics artist who always had trouble charging people so I never really go as high as I could. It really is because I didn't value myself as much! Now I realize that by charging my worth, I can weed out the people who will be taking advantage of me and just have the people who are passionate enough to invest the same amount of "energy" or money as I am.
Leija...you are doing wonderfully! Im so sorry if others have spit negative comments and have been hurting you in anyway...but it seems your light within sends it away and thats admirable! Do what you feel is right...and it sure looks like your doing it! Your real and I love it! You inspire me greatly! Love you a lot!
Leija has her whole life ahead of her, she is doing what she LOVES TO DO!!! Doctors get paid yet they help people, nurses get paid and yet they help people, because they need to earn money, so they can buy food and survive, so please be NICE to Leija!!!
People have no choice but to make a living by doing what they love. I Don't think Leija would be very happy behind a crappy desk all day or working in a coffee shop, she is doing what she loves and I am very HAPPY for Leija. WE ALL HAVE TO MAKE A BUCK SOMEHOW, or else we will starve and die.
I hope my comment didn't come across as a bit snarky. Although I disagree with some of the things said in the video as they apply fundamentally, I understand the feeling of need to play the game as it is in order to survive for the purposes of spreading the light. I am playing the game too, and it is a source of existensial crises. I was just trying to add another perspective to the discourse. <3
Charging money for services has nothing to do with loving yourself authentically - it is to do with survival anxiety.
Giving away for free has nothing to do with what other people may think - it has to do with being the right thing to do in all truthfullness. Mother nature keeps on giving and giving and giving. Yet we have created a system for ourselves in which we size up other people's goods and services which we want to acquire, place a value, and then barter.
Funny, or silly perhaps, is that I find all this 'money' stuff highly anoying if it comes to pricing my works. Just leave me alone, I want to create!! :p Every time ppl are 'shocked' about my prices I feel guilty and want to lower them.. Which is stupid.
Ppl are just to accustomed to cheap IKEA crap. Oh well, my ideal system would be something like this: I make something for you, and in exchange you offer me a service like eeeh fixing something etc etc. :)
thank you Leija, This video really inspired me, I slept like a baby last night too---what an important video for healers and artists and a reminder to us all. I think this brought me up to another consciousness level in this area for good. *winks.. :) what relief to hear this... and I look forward to sharing angelic reiki one day in unique service packages :) thank you thank you .. I feel so free from this old belief system now! :) ~~
Leija I love your energy, IT IS INCREDIBLE, you inspire me to carry on living, I am glad there are people out there in this world like you :) Thankyou Leija :)
To those few people, PLEASE don't be mean to Leija, she enjoys helping people, please to those few people, don't say anything mean to Leija, she needs to afford to buy food and eat just like the rest of us, so PLEASE be nice to Leija, she rocks!!!!
Only problem I have with paying alternative healers is half of them...ones I've seen anyway are self deluded amateurs who haven't a clue and are not help. Not better than sanke oil salesmen. If they really know their stuff and I can get a benefit from their help no problem. Happy to pay
Great advice & insight Leija. Fortunately, I am in a situation where I can provide my service for free & make some quality returns & it works well. I actually do think the duel aspect is a positive towards greater reward.
What are your thoughts and views on Fair Trade? I'm a firm believer in the fact that the monetary system was set up to control people. Taking our freedoms away. Separating the people into rich and poor. We have services....why can't we do a Fair Trade for those services? Wouldn't that be the same thing as giving to them and ourselves?
I don't know if you know who Little Grandmother (Kisha Crowther) is, but she was chosen by her tribal elders to be shaman. She has been entrusted with the thirteen crystals to place them back in the earth. She flies all over the earth doing her sacred intensly loving work. She got the whammy for excepting whopping $25,000 for breaking the sacred shaman code and accepting MONEY! Like we live in a world where we can barter soup and crackers and live in tax free adobe huts.
I hate driving and being in public everyday I avoid it as much as I can because people look so horrible and depressed and some even look hostile, it gets me down looking at these people and I smile at some and they wont even smile back.
GAAAAAAAAH I LOVE THIS. I will make a video response sometime tomorrow or during the week fo-sheezy. I felt all energized and excited listening. Hooray!!!!!! BTW, you makke 15 minutes seem like Heaven. Thank you for sharing!!!
In reference to some who have suggested that you 'focus' or 'trim' your comments, I much rather like your creative, 'rambling' style, because you're not just transmitting information, but information infused with your unique energy and livliness; your videos (like this one) are often like watching a painting or sculpture in progress, it is a work of art, and your free-flowing thoughts are more 'risky' and take you (and us) to places that cannot be planned. Keep 'em coming!
@LeijaTurunen Yes, and Leija presents clarity and direction in allowing this "free association" to unfold, that we can vicariously share in this process of discovery we all go through; the potential to model this process emerges, even as I feel I'm hanging out in conversations I want to have; a sort of "therapeutic communion." I love Leija's videos, because they coach, remind, instruct, and inspire! We love you, keep putting these wonderful videos out; invaluable!
Why not offer your services to anyone and accept donations where the individual decides what it was worth to them? I feel like if you are seriously helping people, they will be more than happy to donate... And you might even end up making more than YOU think you are worth! Just a thought! Namaste!
To us...the underline core is that creators want to do there services for free,but because we live in the monetary system its sometimes hard to separate the system from the love of giving...I think the issue is orienting " creators/healers" because in our experience creators ar bad at business,they are not cut out for it....you have been risen to this understanding...cool stuff Leija....
@WOcoFunnies Many, many times I've been called an 'artist' by my high-end clients and other artsists. I didn't see myself as more than a highly-skilled designer/craftsman; and I was working for the purpose of earning a living and developing a good reputation. This flattery was their attempt to get me to do more for less. Be aware of flattery. As I developed my skills and actually offered myself as an artist-- those people NEVER supported my art.
The people who give Leija such a hard time, leave her alone, don't write such horrible messages to her, because she is amazing and she has to make a living somehow. Everyone has to make a living somehow or else they can't afford to eat and go on holidays and travel the world.
Oh, and other thing, in my country, alternative medicine is really cheap because of this same misconception that western medicine is better than eastern, and most people won't pay much for these great healing methods, it's a shame :(. Also, my mom works with Bach's Flower Essences and she's amazing at it but she feels she shouldn't charge more than the cost of materiales. The other day I was trying to convince her of her great gift but she just didn't get it! So frustrating, but, oh well...
Hi Leija, sorry, no video, but just my two cents. First of all, I TOTALLY agree with what you're saying. Many people are so skewed in their way of thinking that they're happy to invest their money in food, medicine and beauty products that make them sick and toxic and still think they shouldn't pay for healthy products and services. What's up with that! "Ok so I'll pay to be sick but I won't pay for my mental, spiritual or phisycal health".That's redonkoulous! Any lightworker should charge!
Thanks Leija! I totally connected with your message here. I'm not a healer or anything (although I'd love to have that ability). I am a Virtual Assistant, specialising in graphic design, PowerPoint presentation design, web design - I prefer to call myself a Creative Design Specialist.
When I watched this video, it suddenly hit me that actually, I have a fear of asking people for money! I've been aware of this for a long time, but watching your video really brought it home to me How afraid I am!
Great message Leija and I love your freestyle delivery!! Also, I very much appreciate you being what you're being whenever you are being it. You set a most excellent example of BEING as being senior to doing and having.
The BS you speak of is a peep control operation that has very deep roots and has been around for a long time. Hence, abundant reinforcements to this BS are both covertly and overtly embedded into society on myriad levels. It is high time for this BS to be disintegrated!
@monterock100 Well said my friend :))))) I was round people in public today and they look so depressed and they also look miserable. I smiled and a lady smiled back at me, it was awesome. One lady I smiled at looked at me and didn't smile back, she looked at me like I wasn't allowed to smile.
@lightpeaceloveify - thank you very much! Many people are depressed these days. Imagine, not knowing who you are, what you are or where you are...now that's depressing! Locating a person, saying hello or thank you or just giving them a smile acknowedges their existence and validates them by letting them know they're worth your undivided attention, even if only for a few seconds.
Here's a little something you can experiment with.- flow admiration to people, situations, things and watch...
@monterock100 Hi when I drive during the day, it is really hard for me to deal with the looks on peoples faces. I smile to some and they look at me werid going why are you smiling at me, wtf! I sometimes get people who smile back, but it is rare, very rare, as everyone is just caught up in the system of everything and that is why they all look the same. It gets me down when there are so many who bring me down even when I am cheerful and happy all smiley because they can't except the fact.
@monterock100 When I smile at someone they look at me in an angry way. I'm not up myself or anything but I am a good looking guy everyone tells me, but when I smile at people it is very rare to get a smile back, they are just caught up in the matrix we live in these days. I CAN'T STAND PEOPLE IN SOCIETY, I try and make them happy but they just shoot me down with their horrible looks.
@monterock100 I don't like living on this planet because everyone is so mean, they look at each other horrible and even when I smile at them they wont smile back and I get that treatment from everyone. It is horrible just leaving my house everyday looking at people who look so hostile and depressed.
@monterock100 It brings me down looking at people everyday, IT IS HORRIBLE, BECAUSE THEY ALL LOOK DEPRESSED AND ALL MOODY TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER, EVEN TOWARDS ME, even though I smile to try and make them happy they just don't care, some do, but most don't care at all:(((((((((((((((((((
@lightpeaceloveify I know exactly what you mean. My mother and stepfather both look down on me for not having employment. Constantly bugging me to get some. My fiancee is also on that bandwagon of looking down on me for the same thing. It doesn't make me a deadbeat to not have a job. I'd rather teach guitar to people. Grow musicians by planting my seeds in the brains of humanity. I walk/drive outdoors and it is almost the world has a problem with me. Everyone is about to get their wake up call..
@ja0401 Hey brother watch the LOVE POLICE, they are awesome, they make people realize they "aren't" worthless pieces of crap if they don't have a job. They go on the streets protesting through a megaphone thingie, they are AWESOME!!!!
@ja0401 I hope the time comes soon. People look so depressed and I smile at them being a young 22 year old male myself and they look at me thinking WTF, why is he smiling at me and they don't smile back a lot of the time. Watch the LOVE POLICE, they say through a Microphone, "You Lady, You Sir, wipe that smile off your face, it is bad for the economy, yes that's right, stay miserable, keep shopping, you were born to shop, you will die to shop, the LOVE POLICE WILL SAY, sarcastically.
@ja0401 The LOVE POLICE are awesome to watch, they want people to connect with nature. They protest on the streets, speaking through a megaphone, that the governments have control of your money and everything, this is what the LOVE POLICE say. Look up Megaphone the Drone, where he talks to people going to work dressed up in suits in the morning saying, yes that's right, stay miserable, work, work, work, work, why not work an extra 2 hours everyday this week it is good for the economy.
@ja0401 Please don't feel bad you don't have a job, it is just the way people are these days that make you feel like you are a worthless piece of crap if you don't have a job. Don't worry my friend, you are an amazing human being, do what you love which you say is playing music, great stuff brother :)
@ja0401 In this video on youtube, he says to everyone going to work to their office through a megaphone, "Hug a tree not a photocopier" /watch?v=zUJy7Yb50Ag&feature=related
@carefulcarpenter - "BEINGS not HAVINGS" that's great cc! Have you noticed though how many people these days are attempting to BE by HAVE? They mistakenly calculate, "if I could HAVE a fit bod, a new car, a good job, etc I could then skip DO altogether and BE!" Haha, but that's an inversion of the sequence. That is, it's backasswards. As Leja pointed out she HAS various attributes, skills and abilities because she has DONE activities that brought those qualities about but it all began at BE.
@monterock100 This is the root of 'branding', isn't it? And cosmetic surgery? A person can look beautiful (from a distance, in low lighting) without actually having to make (do) the sacrifices to develop inner beauty. INTEGRITY can be a PR campaign rather than a committed practice toward spiritual growth.
This is so true, healers have to eat, pay for bills etc like everyone else, so why wouldn''t they take charge of their lifes by charging for their great services for people. It's amazing how hypocritical some ppl are..
I totally agree with you on you need to take care of yourself and know your worth which alot of ppl. don't, afraid they'll be judged as selfish which is crazy to me because if we're all part of the divine we have to include ourselves in that because to treat yourself badly is to hurt the world because you are devalueing the divine within yourself. I hope that made sense but the gist is I agree with you =)
Thanks Leija - the old paradigm is one the "starving artist" .. I wonder who coined that term? This idea that we have to suffer and even starve for our art and other ways of expression! lol..it's such a perfect example of an old idea that people still take as truth. Bless their hearts. This perpetuates lack and scarcity. PS. people should remember you are putting out a TON of *free* inspirational and uplifting content right here!! Great message, thanks for putting it out!
YOU'RE GREAT LEIJA, BY THE WAY, ONE VEHICLE FOR ALL THE MEDICAL NONSENSE IS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, THE MORE UNFREE AND SUBJECT TO FORCE AND DUMBED DOWN STUPIDITY PEOPLE ARE, THE MORE VULNERABLE TO THE KIND OF NONSENSE THAT GOES ON IN THE MEDICAL FIELD, LIKE WITH CANADA'S HEALTH CARE AND OBAMA CARE NONSENSE...A LOT OF THIS HAS TO WORK OFF OF LIBERTY AND FREEDOM AND LEARNED PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND EDUCATION THAT OCCURS IN A FREE AND DYNAMIC MARKET...ANYWAY LEIJA, YOU'RE GREAT...
Pt 2 ..that their issues are often healed/resolved within a few minutes. Ultimately, if we do what fills us with passion, law of attraction brings the right souls together. I know you know this very well. Additionally.. when not caring what others think of us, it has to be for both perceived positivity and negativity. If you care about one (neg or pos), you will certainly care about the other. In total self containment..there is freedom. Big Love.
PT 1 Nice, bud. I've found that peeps value healing services *more* when charged at a healthy balanced sum. Personally, I've learnt rare techniques that I know some charge 300 euros per hour, and there is still no shortage of demand. When we charge, people value the time, skills and continuous training that allows us to be so effective in assistance. For all healers, I recommend offering a short free healing as an incentivising h'ordeuvre. Funnily, however, I've found with many..
@sachmofranklin Absolutely! (What you just said is something I could make a whole video on... like an expansion on this video.) Not just with healers, but with artists. You see an artist charging peanuts for their artwork and nobody buys it. Then, they charge a reasonable price (or even an outrageous price) and all of a sudden, people start buying their work. Yeah, I could ramble on about that too for a while...lol.
@LeijaTurunen Great :-).Yes, in addition, with art, I've become aware that there are two creations required -1.The beautiful art and 2. the selling of the art - an environment that also needs to be created with the same love, confidence, sureness,and joy that the art was crafted. It's the familiar uncertainty, worry and doubt in this 2nd part..that often hinders the desired outcome.With matching high vibe creations..one can whack up the price with confidence..and tap into the infinite abundance.
i have never understood why i do this or why i havent been able to get past this "charging people" thing, but this video is really starting to help open my eyes and see that it's ME!! I am the one in the way of myself. I have so much love to give and I always forget to love the #1 person, ME!
If we are fortunate, we gain the awareness of the two worlds in which we exist: one world is controlled scarcity, and the other is abundant bliss. We make a mistake when we fail to expect the rules and rewards in each world to be reciprocal. Love and satisfaction are freely exchanged in the later; and discouraged in the former. Awareness and discernment skills are rewards for our persistence in seeking truth; whereas, money is merely a balancing device like the bubble in a level.
how do you stop masterbating? there is no way one can mature if they still masterbate. all the obvious answers are not an option, like, be around people more, live in a house full of people, never be alone, unplug the internet, set restrictions on the internet,
Yes!!!! Exactly the mistake I have been making over and over again...not wanting to be paid for what I do...Oh no, I cannot accept money from friends...Well, those same "friends" didn't have a problem accepting my services for free and not returning the favor! I guess it's a learning process. As you said, it has to do with how much we validate ourselves :) Thank you for being authentic and for providing me with an answer to my question of why people always take advantage...
at 7min 18secs I smiled huge and I currently am paused at 19 seconds. All i could think about when you say "The how dare you" is my line on "Oh this person is writing a book" and their in it for the money and then i state, your working a job and thus the same topic as you are saying.
Back to the point, I was thinking within' this video that the argument for "How dare you" is a resource based economy and the capitalistic society is evil in general which we are all forced into today.
Sometimes I wonder if this mentality started with the fool performing for the court... doubtful they got paid for their entertainment... and if they sucked, they got pelted with rotten fruit and pulled off stage left to eat rotten fruit as their supper...Or so I imagine.... and yet the court artist was taken care of and not taxed ....Art as validation of our beauty and difference.
Thank you for this post. I needed to have this stuff reinforced. I'm practicing this new pattern of asking for what I want and also believing in myself and focusing on my passion and just believing in my own abundance, but sometimes I get thrown off onto negative because I still might over-analyze people who are critical. This helped me remember to keep expressing the full power of myself. It's comforting to know that you still contend with the haters, too, and you choose to get on with life.
Leija, random question...what do you think about tattoos? I've been contemplating getting some, but I have hesitation only because I'm not clear on whether it would basically be a 'sin'. (not a christian btw lol)
"You get not only what you give to others, but you get what you give to yourself." Wow, I had not thought of it that way. That was an eye-opener. Thanks!!
I totally get this...I am 5 weeks away from being a Licensed Massage Therapist, and already I have had my hands on SOO many people. They put their trust in me, and often open up to me about really personal matters. And to know I will aoon be able to support myself too, by supporting others is a great gift.
Right on, well said. Since my hubby is an artist, we have seen so many artists basically charge 50 cents an hour for their work. They will work solid for a month on a beautiful painting and charge a ridiculously low price like $150. and then be gushing and grateful that somebody even bought it! No wonder the name starving artist came about! As a healer I sometimes give exchanges and give free sessions but have no problem charging as I give it my all, every time.
your awesome, just wish you could make your video messages more compact and to the point. feels like what you were trying to tell could be saidd in 3 minutes instead of 16.
@AlienStephmother I warned people that this could be a ramble. Like I said, I don't plan out my videos, nor do I have a desire to robotically regurgitate pre-thought out material. Number one- that would take too much time, and I'm a *really* busy lady. Number two, that would NOT be real & authentic. As many of my viewers know, I'm all about being authentic... so yeah. Really... don't like my style? Don't watch...lol.
I understand what @AlienStephmother is saying, however, Leija, from my perspective, speaks like a true zen teacher. She repeats and says things in different ways, then paraphrases her own thoughts naturally - but this is what is truly getting the message across. Watch any Buddhist teacher, or any other type of spiritual master, most of them will use many metaphors and repeat things in different ways a LOT. Is like how certain things happen in life repeat to get the point across.
@LeijaTurunen YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE AMAZING, YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL SPIRITUAL BEING OF LIGHT, ignore people who diss you and put you down, you are a high spiritual beautiful human being with lots of love :)
This video could not have come at a better time for me. Thanks hun. I have just launched my new tarot website and also just become a Reiki Master, so am having to get used to fielding this type of negative questioning. Come to the UK soon!
I've never understood the conventional mode of thinking.....if we are suppose to help facilitate the Divine Blueprint on earth, then it goes without saying that we should only be doing the work that gives us the most joy.....and to not be afraid to make a good living at it as well...... Earth/Heart it's one and the same!;) Thanks for a great video....;)
"If one is not giving it, love, one is not getting it"
Agreed~! One cannot give more to the world than one has within oneself-- so don't expect too much in return from the recipients of your creative passion.

Part of the problem is that people associate money with evil and this is false. Also, in our field; many people are always quickly calling us snake oil salesman; also false.

Actually, by Law of Return, if the patient donates or pays the back the energy (may it be money or any other way) to the healer, the healing energy will work many times faster because the person is giving something in return with the intention to be healed =), if they pay in advance the healing process starts even BEFORE the healing session has even started! =)

Im a artist/healer and what your talking about is correct. I know a lot about the corruption in art and would not like the idea of catering to the rich with my art but in the same sense its not going anywhere. I have thought that the people who seem to get or take so much from me do not realize what it took for me just to become the person who i am today. I hate to say in one way or another you do have to market yourself as a artist/healer to have income from it. Free energy would also help.

Thank you for this video! I'm a motion graphics artist who always had trouble charging people so I never really go as high as I could. It really is because I didn't value myself as much! Now I realize that by charging my worth, I can weed out the people who will be taking advantage of me and just have the people who are passionate enough to invest the same amount of "energy" or money as I am.
Thank you for confirming this!

I hope my comment didn't come across as a bit snarky. Although I disagree with some of the things said in the video as they apply fundamentally, I understand the feeling of need to play the game as it is in order to survive for the purposes of spreading the light. I am playing the game too, and it is a source of existensial crises. I was just trying to add another perspective to the discourse. <3

Charging money for services has nothing to do with loving yourself authentically - it is to do with survival anxiety.
Giving away for free has nothing to do with what other people may think - it has to do with being the right thing to do in all truthfullness. Mother nature keeps on giving and giving and giving. Yet we have created a system for ourselves in which we size up other people's goods and services which we want to acquire, place a value, and then barter.
Giving is the future.

She got the whammy for excepting whopping $25,000 for breaking the sacred shaman code and accepting MONEY!

In reference to some who have suggested that you 'focus' or 'trim' your comments, I much rather like your creative, 'rambling' style, because you're not just transmitting information, but information infused with your unique energy and livliness; your videos (like this one) are often like watching a painting or sculpture in progress, it is a work of art, and your free-flowing thoughts are more 'risky' and take you (and us) to places that cannot be planned. Keep 'em coming!

@WOcoFunnies Many, many times I've been called an 'artist' by my high-end clients and other artsists. I didn't see myself as more than a highly-skilled designer/craftsman; and I was working for the purpose of earning a living and developing a good reputation. This flattery was their attempt to get me to do more for less. Be aware of flattery. As I developed my skills and actually offered myself as an artist-- those people NEVER supported my art.

Oh, and other thing, in my country, alternative medicine is really cheap because of this same misconception that western medicine is better than eastern, and most people won't pay much for these great healing methods, it's a shame :(. Also, my mom works with Bach's Flower Essences and she's amazing at it but she feels she shouldn't charge more than the cost of materiales. The other day I was trying to convince her of her great gift but she just didn't get it! So frustrating, but, oh well...

Hi Leija, sorry, no video, but just my two cents. First of all, I TOTALLY agree with what you're saying. Many people are so skewed in their way of thinking that they're happy to invest their money in food, medicine and beauty products that make them sick and toxic and still think they shouldn't pay for healthy products and services. What's up with that! "Ok so I'll pay to be sick but I won't pay for my mental, spiritual or phisycal health".That's redonkoulous! Any lightworker should charge!

@lightpeaceloveify - thank you very much! Many people are depressed these days. Imagine, not knowing who you are, what you are or where you are...now that's depressing! Locating a person, saying hello or thank you or just giving them a smile acknowedges their existence and validates them by letting them know they're worth your undivided attention, even if only for a few seconds.
Here's a little something you can experiment with.- flow admiration to people, situations, things and watch...

@monterock100 Hi when I drive during the day, it is really hard for me to deal with the looks on peoples faces. I smile to some and they look at me werid going why are you smiling at me, wtf! I sometimes get people who smile back, but it is rare, very rare, as everyone is just caught up in the system of everything and that is why they all look the same.

Pt 2 ..that their issues are often healed/resolved within a few minutes. Ultimately, if we do what fills us with passion, law of attraction brings the right souls together. I know you know this very well. Additionally.. when not caring what others think of us, it has to be for both perceived positivity and negativity. If you care about one (neg or pos), you will certainly care about the other. In total self containment..there is freedom. Big Love.

PT 1 Nice, bud. I've found that peeps value healing services *more* when charged at a healthy balanced sum. Personally, I've learnt rare techniques that I know some charge 300 euros per hour, and there is still no shortage of demand. When we charge, people value the time, skills and continuous training that allows us to be so effective in assistance. For all healers, I recommend offering a short free healing as an incentivising h'ordeuvre. Funnily, however, I've found with many..
sachmofranklin 9 months ago
@sachmofranklin Absolutely! (What you just said is something I could make a whole video on... like an expansion on this video.) Not just with healers, but with artists. You see an artist charging peanuts for their artwork and nobody buys it. Then, they charge a reasonable price (or even an outrageous price) and all of a sudden, people start buying their work. Yeah, I could ramble on about that too for a while...lol.
LeijaTurunen 9 months ago
@LeijaTurunen Great :-).Yes, in addition, with art, I've become aware that there are two creations required -1.The beautiful art and 2. the selling of the art - an environment that also needs to be created with the same love, confidence, sureness,and joy that the art was crafted. It's the familiar uncertainty, worry and doubt in this 2nd part..that often hinders the desired outcome.With matching high vibe creations..one can whack up the price with confidence..and tap into the infinite abundance.

If we are fortunate, we gain the awareness of the two worlds in which we exist: one world is controlled scarcity, and the other is abundant bliss. We make a mistake when we fail to expect the rules and rewards in each world to be reciprocal. Love and satisfaction are freely exchanged in the later; and discouraged in the former. Awareness and discernment skills are rewards for our persistence in seeking truth; whereas, money is merely a balancing device like the bubble in a level.

Back to the point, I was thinking within' this video that the argument for "How dare you" is a resource based economy and the capitalistic society is evil in general which we are all forced into today.

Thank you for this post. I needed to have this stuff reinforced. I'm practicing this new pattern of asking for what I want and also believing in myself and focusing on my passion and just believing in my own abundance, but sometimes I get thrown off onto negative because I still might over-analyze people who are critical. This helped me remember to keep expressing the full power of myself. It's comforting to know that you still contend with the haters, too, and you choose to get on with life.

Right on, well said. Since my hubby is an artist, we have seen so many artists basically charge 50 cents an hour for their work. They will work solid for a month on a beautiful painting and charge a ridiculously low price like $150. and then be gushing and grateful that somebody even bought it! No wonder the name starving artist came about! As a healer I sometimes give exchanges and give free sessions but have no problem charging as I give it my all, every time.

Number one- that would take too much time, and I'm a *really* busy lady. Number two, that would NOT be real & authentic. As many of my viewers know, I'm all about being authentic... so yeah. Really... don't like my style? Don't watch...lol.

I understand what @AlienStephmother is saying, however, Leija, from my perspective, speaks like a true zen teacher. She repeats and says things in different ways, then paraphrases her own thoughts naturally - but this is what is truly getting the message across. Watch any Buddhist teacher, or any other type of spiritual master, most of them will use many metaphors and repeat things in different ways a LOT. Is like how certain things happen in life repeat to get the point across.

Efficiency is not always the highest virtue in life. Why are shorter videos better? I like a nice long video to sink into.

This video could not have come at a better time for me. Thanks hun. I have just launched my new tarot website and also just become a Reiki Master, so am having to get used to fielding this type of negative questioning. Come to the UK soon!

I've never understood the conventional mode of thinking.....if we are suppose to help facilitate the Divine Blueprint on earth, then it goes without saying that we should only be doing the work that gives us the most joy.....and to not be afraid to make a good living at it as well...... Earth/Heart it's one and the same!;) Thanks for a great video....;)

"If one is not giving it, love, one is not getting it"
Agreed~! One cannot give more to the world than one has within oneself-- so don't expect too much in return from the recipients of your creative passion.
