Giving and receiving, in balance
Many of us grew up believing that healing should be free. It is a beautiful instinct, and it deserves an honest and respectful answer. Here is why practitioners ask for an honor fee, what it means — and what it does not.
The honor fee is not the price of healing. Healing cannot be bought. It is how we honor the service, the training and the person who offers it.
We already understand this
When we see a doctor, a dentist or a physical therapist, there is a consultation fee. When we agree to a treatment plan, there is a fee for that too. Nobody thinks the doctor is selling us health — we are honoring their time, their years of training, and their care.
Practitioners trained for this
Practitioners have studied this healing modality with authorized teachers — and paid their own way through that training, as any professional does.
They give their time and themselves
Each session takes preparation, presence and travel. Practitioners also keep a daily practice of their own so they can serve others clearly.
It keeps the service going
Venues, materials and travel all cost something. A fair exchange lets practitioners keep serving for years — instead of burning out.
Giving and receiving, one circle
Service is at the heart of the practice. Da Fu Wu, “Greatest Service”, is one of the Ten Da — the ten greatest qualities Master Sha teaches that every person can develop.
In our community we understand the honor exchange in that spirit. It is not a debt or a transaction. When we receive a service and offer something in return, the circle is complete — for the person receiving and for the person who serves. That is why we call it an honor fee: it honors the service, the practitioner, and the teachings they carry.

Service is offered
A practitioner gives time, training and blessing.
Service is received
You open yourself to the blessing and take part in your own healing.
Honor is returned
Your exchange completes the circle and honors what was given.
The circle continues
Practitioners keep serving, and the community keeps growing.
The sobre we never forget
When a manghihilot or a faith healer says “kayo na po ang bahala,” we still leave an envelope. We bring food, we come back with pasalubong, we carry utang na loob for years.
Giving back is already part of who we are as Filipinos. The honor fee simply makes that gratitude clear and fair, so nobody has to guess — and nobody is left out of pocket for serving us.
A respectful answer
We honor faith healers. Many are called to serve without a set fee, and are often sustained by the gifts of the community they serve. That is a calling worth respecting.
This is a different kind of service. Practitioners are trained in a specific modality with a structured approach — sessions, practice plans, follow-up and teaching you to practice for yourself.
You are not paying for a result. No one can sell or promise healing. The fee honors time, training and service — not a guarantee.
Giving invites taking part. In this practice, healing asks for your participation: forgiveness, daily practice, chanting. When we offer something, we tend to show up and follow through.
Practitioners also serve freely. At Healing Days and daily group practice, blessings are offered at no cost.
If you are not convinced yet
Try it first — for free
We understand: you cannot see energy, and testimonials are other people’s experiences, not yours. So we will never ask you to pay on faith.
Start with what is free. Experience it for yourself. Offer an honor exchange only when you have felt enough to want more.
