Greetings,
This subject seems to always be present no matter who you talk to.
I have found that most who want to do Reiki for free already have a steady income or a spouse who supplies all that it takes to live these days.
Most Reiki practioners have spent 10's of thousands on training. I know I have.
There are those times when we give a free love offering to a student or client.
I suppose it is an indivual decision left to the person who is the channel for this beautiful healing energy.
Blessings
Ashkee
