When the Student is Ready...

In my mind, one of the most profound statements in spiritual teachings starts at the very beginning of most people's spiritual learning journey.

That statement is, "When the student is ready a teacher will come."

I love that statement because over the years I've personally found it to be absolutely true.

This past week, I was blessed by an experience with a prospective student who inquired about the Reiki classes I teach. 

That person wanted to know what I charge for classes. They went on to say that they know of a teacher that they resonated with, but thought the teacher charged too much for the classes they taught.

The logic was that the perspective student realized there are expenses involved in conducting a class but wondered, "How one can charge for opening one up to being able to access the energies available to all."

I was moved to share a perspective on that to help others with the same question gain an understanding.

What a teacher charges for a class really has little to do with the hard costs (location, marketing, class printouts, etc) involved.

Teachers charge what they do for classes based on their years of study, the costs associated with learning over the years, their ongoing progression and their hard won experience, which provides each teacher with the wisdom to share with others.

So what you're actually paying for is years of experience and hard won "wisdom" the teacher has gained from applying the modality they are teaching.

A teacher who has been conducting classes for decades has a lot more wisdom and direct experience to share. As a result they may charge more.

For the "Student who is ready" that investment may be the best money they ever spend.

I would encourage you to consider this when looking at classes. Don't look for the lowest price, look for the teacher you are intuitively guided to, by your heart.

The price you pay will ultimately be the greatest value you can receive.

The reason?

Because you are then a student who is ready to hear the wisdom of the teacher you are drawn to and who was sent to you by the divine power of the Universe.

Theta Healing can empower people to move forward in life more positively. It is important to remember though that conscious chatter needs to be checked and where necessary re-framed, as a person will of course get into habits of negative thinking over time which need to be rectified.
