Survey: Should Spiritual Services be Free or is it ok to Charge Money?

Forgot my standard disclaimer when I write on this topic, so am adding it now .

This topic of making money always causes all sorts of knee-jerk reactions, so I have learned to put a disclaimer before I write such articles, and here it is.  I am very happy to offer my website in it’s free format, and this article is not a request for money, and I am not against those making money from their spiritual work either.  Now onto the survey…

Here is an interesting question which I am very curious to learn your thoughts on. Do you think spiritual services, such as yoga, meditation, reiki, ayurveda, etc, should be provided for free or do you think it is ok for practitioners and teachers to charge money for such services?  I will discuss my thoughts on this interesting, and sometimes controversial topic, after I collect your responses.

You can find other interesting surveys we have run here on Mastery of Meditation and Yoga under the Survey Category.
