You probably already know there is an enormous presence of impoverishment in the market space for meditation practitioners.
Why?
Because everyone who is in the space or interested in it or who consumes it is always hearing stuff and even saying stuff along the lines of "true spiritual awakenment is serving others for free"
I agree that it is important to be willing to serve others for free, but with how much bias there is towards this mindset in most of the various meditation communities, it has lead to a situation where people are willing to spend and give away all sorts of money and expect nothing in return.
Which again, this is a positive way to be; but for a number of people in this niche what this leads to is financial martyrdom, and the overall result is that you end up in a place where you not only have nothing left for yourself, but nothing left to give at all.
And on top of that, a whole host of people that have gotten used to your charitability, and so you end up left with only two options.
Give more and more away and go further and further into debt, or stop giving money away and potentially feel like you are letting everyone down who has come to rely on you.
I am by no means saying that this is how it is for everyone or even a majority of people, but this is definitely where some people have ended up at times in their life (including me).
Being a giving person feels good. If you have ever been one, then you know this all too well.
And it drives the situation home even harder when you realize that asking for money from other people feels very, very uncomfortable.
Like studies have been done that have shown that the emotional pain receptors in people's brain light up brighter when asking for money from someone than they do during things like being punched, attacked, or screamed at.
Add all this together and the reasons for this situation are even more evident than they already were.
But it doesn't have to be this way!!
There are many different methods of bypassing this situation all together of having to ask for money directly, and just as many methods for changing the typical default emotional response you may currently have to the action of asking someone else for money.
And if you are able to combine both of these together in your life, a change in emotional response to asking for money PLUS methods for making money that don't require you to ask someone for the money directly...
It becomes possible to be a meditation practitioner with a healthy and thriving lifestyle with plenty of money to give away and plenty of extra time to spend actually meditating, with money coming in and being sent to the people and causes you care about FULLY automatically and hands off 24/7/365.
So now finally not only can you be as charitable as you want with the positive energy you have all that extra time to spend sending to all these people and causes you care about, but the money to send them all to boot; and still enough money left for yourself that you are able to spend as much time as you want doing this and still feel safe financially and able to sleep at night!
