This forum welcomes everyone who is able to offer other people help in any form.

It is firmly beleived that all healers and helpers of any kind should do some free help whenever possible.

But we respect the need for all healers and helpers to make a living from the spiritual work they do.

Many of the Spiritual community offer too much of themselves for too little and struggle to survive comfortably. This is part of their karma and life lessons and often is a choice they have made, either in the Life Contract before birth or walk-in, or as the healer/helper they are.

Consequently, free advise may lead to paid consultations or readings either within this forum or outside it and is considered to be normal healing and helping activity.

There is a line however. Many people will come here only for free advise, and will get upset if given some and then asked for money for more. So the boundary between giving free advise which leads to paid advise needs to be crossed subtly and tactfully.

An example is where, say, feng shui advise reaches a stage where it cannot continue without things like the facing direction being checked on site, at which time a person being helped will need to make a choice to continue the advise in a formal consultation arrangement, or not. Only so much can be done without seeing things, and to go that far requires formal committments from the advisor and the person seeking advise, and thus, should be paid for.

This is considered normal practice. But it must be done in a way that obviously and explicitly moves the advise being given, from the realm of free advise, to the realm of professional services.

It is not acceptable for anyone to give advise in the forums and then to demand money. Complaints made by anyone will be treated seriously and may result in the banning of the offender from the forum.

In all cases, the forum, its administrators and moderators are in no way responsible for the actions and monetary charges of anyone within this forum, and once they leave here. While we will attempt to ensure that everyone is acting responsibly, it is impossible to guarentee this. The onus is on you to choose an advisor wisely.

It is recommended that should you be considering paying for a formal healing/reading/consultation of any sort with an advisor here, that you seek to reassure yourself of their suitabilty for your problem or situation, their competence, ethics and standards of conduct, and value for money. If you are unsure, PM a moderator for advise. By all means ask questions, both in forum and by PM. Asking does not guarentee a response, but lack of response is often an answer.

How much is charged is no indication of worth. Many Spiritual workers charge a lot less than they can, or indeed should. But there are also many who charge a lot more than they are really worth. You have to make up your own mind about if the money is worth paying. If you are not sure, ask.

You will see some advisors here with ranks under their usernames. These ranks are awarded by forum administration to people known to be worthy of such ranks, through their work in the Spiritual community, and for their work in the forum. You cannot get these by posting a lot. You can only get these by posting quality advise or through a very good reputation in the spiritual community.

If you have complaints about any advisor, please make them by PM to a moderator. Complaints in forum will not be taken seriously.

In all things though, you must take responsibility for your own choices.

Nothing that happens to you is as important as how you react to it. Your reaction is cause that brings on the next effect, the action of karma and life lesson manifestation. See these areas for more information.

The bottom line here is, we are here to help, but its up to you to make your own choices and to take responsibility for them, even if the outcomes are not to your expectation.

At all times, ask questions. Most of the time, someone will answer.

If you dont ask, you wont learn. If you do not learn, you doom yourself to endlessly repeating the same mistakes. This is your problem, and no-one elses, regardless of how many people were trying to give you advise that might improve things.

If your getting advise and things are not improving for you, then you may be asking the wrong questions of the wrong people. If so, ask a more general question in a more general area, and you may get a different sort of advisor give you something that does begin to help.

How much help we can be to you here, will often depend on you.

So whatever your problems or situation is, be open minded, seek to learn and do not be afraid to ask questions.
