    Is Sadhguru Right About Reiki?

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co.
    Are you familiar with Sadhguru's teachings? He has some negative opinions about Reiki and with his popularity growing, I've been getting more and more questions about it. I'm wondering what a good response to this YouTube video Is Reiki & Energy Healing Safe? would be.

    Is Reiki Covered by Insurance?

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co.
    My Reiki clients are asking me to start taking insurance for the wellness portion of their policies. Is that possible? Will health insurance cover Reiki? Can I bill my clients' health insurance? How does that work?

    1099 Tax Forms for Reiki

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co.
    I just started accepting money for my Reiki sessions. I have a PayPal account and am getting paid for my Reiki sessions through that, but I don't know how it works for taxes. I heard something about a 1099 form. Do I need to have an LLC for that? I just signed up for a spiritual business program and am hoping they address it, but it hasn't yet come up in the program. Can you help?

    Is Free Reiki Wrong?

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co.
    I recently did Reiki at a wellness fair and had a drawing to win a free Reiki session after which I would tell them my pricing and packages. I selected numerous winners, and so far I've had two appointments, but they both no called/no showed. I'm bummed and this is discouraging. I've heard that giving away Reiki for free isn't a good idea. Was I wrong?

    When to Start Charging in Your Reiki Business

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing
    I am offering tarot readings, oracle readings, and Reiki healings and offering my services for donations while I develop my business and get my name out there. I’m also working full-time and am a mom, so I’m limited on availability for clients, which also pushes me to feel donation-based is the best route until I have more time or experience. But when should I start charging?

    Offering Free Reiki Sessions

    Christian Stone | Standing Stones Healing Co.
    I just opened my Reiki space and I break even - I’m ok with that - it’s a slow build but it works for me and my schedule. I just had someone who I don’t know ask me if I would provide free services for victims of domestic violence and veterans. I would love to but also I need to make money (as we all do). How would you answer this?
