Transitioning into a Gift Economy

I'm choosing to leave behind the old paradigm of currency

Transitioning into a Gift Economy

I’m fully aligning myself with the gift economy. EVERYTHING I offer will now be donation based. This includes:

  • Shamanic Tarot Sessions

  • Tutoring/Homeschool Support

  • Masculinity Coaching

  • Breathwork and Meditation Sessions

  • Shadow Work Consultations

I will soon be making posts about each of these individual services.

I tried this once before and completely lost faith in the gift economy. Why? I didn’t feel I was worthy myself of receiving what I knew I was capable of giving. I now understand I was perpetuating my own scarcity mindset thinking I “need” something in return for giving. The reality is the actions that are meant for us will align when we come from a space of giving. Because of that, the natural response to this alignment is we will be provided for in return for our gifts. It’s how the Law of Attraction works.

This is why I have never put my podcast or writing behind a paywall. I am creating from the infinite space within me. Unless I am valuing myself by time, which is an illusionary concept, it doesn’t actually cost me anything to create. I then in turn create my own scarcity by thinking I “need” to receive something for the work I put in.

Many of us are being asked to take a leap of faith and trust in this new system of currency that is emerging. So many of us see the faults in our old way but choose to remain attached to it because our programming has us conditioned to believe we must remain fixated on the amount we feel we deserve.

I don’t believe this concept of gift economy is currently for everyone based on the world we’re in. Even now, I can still find excuses as to why this may be a bad personal decisions. But that is fear speaking. When I ask “what would love do now?” I get a resounding faith in this transition being the right move. I don’t believe in the system of currency we currently govern ourselves by, so I’m trusting in a new way. Gifting doesn’t mean “free.” We tend to live in the binary world of “pay” or “free” but fail to see there is an entirely different reality available.

Contact me if you are interested in working with me on a donation basis. I have spots available for all of the spots listed above. I can be reached by Instagram, Twitter, or by simply replying to this post.

As all of my writing is donation based, consider leaving a donation here or subscribing under the donation model.

Let’s open our hearts to the possibility that what we choose to give, the Universe will always ensure we ourselves receive. I’m choosing to take this leap of faith. Will you grab my hand and take it with me?
