+++ This Blessing List is now closed. Please sign up here to receive blessings again next week. See you there! +++
Thanks to everybody who signed up this week – may these blessings bring you good things!
Once a week, on Wednesday, I send blessings to everybody who has requested them for the current week.
The process is simple:
If you would like to be included in the blessings, leave a comment to the current blessing post by Tuesday at the latest.
I will perform the blessing ceremony at some point on Wednesday, and send blessings to everybody who has left a comment by Tuesday.*
All times listed are in German time (i.e. EST+6, apart from the few weeks a year when the US switches to and from daylight savings at a different time than Germany). Please plan accordingly.
I will only send blessings to the people who have explicitly requested them in a comment to the current week’s blessing post. I.e. if you would like to receive blessings again next week, you will need to comment again.
You can also request blessings for other people (or, for that matter, for pets, plants, …) – as long as you have their explicit consent, or you are their rightful “guardian” (e.g. parents for their underage kids; legal caretakers for people with dementia; owners of pets or gardens for their pets or gardens; …).
So… if you would like to receive my blessings this upcoming Wednesday, or if you have any questions, please leave a comment below!
You can use your real name, a nickname of your choice, or comment anonymously.
About the blessing itself: During the ceremony, I send a “generic” blessing to everybody on the list, which also includes intentions for health, protection, and divine guidance. For those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities, I respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities during this general part of the cermony, too.
(If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal religious beliefs on a public forum, there is no need to list them. I trust that your personal deities will know who you are and will, hopefully, respond favourably to this general request. 🙂 )
If there is anything in particular you’d like me to focus on, you can add that to your comment (in just a few words, please!). I will then include this intention specifically for you, but also keep you in the general blessing.**
And if you’d like to know more about the blessings first, you can read the behind-the-scenes-take here – but don’t forget to come back and sign up afterwards! 🙂
One final note: I’ll do my best to approve comments in a timely manner, but I am not glued to my screen. It might occasionally take a day or two for your comment to be approved. Thanks for your patience!
* I’m not dogmatic about this deadline. The Tuesday cutoff is simply to make sure I see your blessings in time, and they will be included for sure. Any comments left after midnight on Tuesday (German time) might or might not be read before the blessing, and might or might not be included.
** I’m not a physician or other health professional. If you have any health issues you’d like me to include, I’m happy to add them – but please remember that a blessing by a random stranger on the internet does not replace a competent medical treatment. Just sayin’…
Falling Tree Woman says
Hello Milkyway
Thank you so much for the blessing! It has helped and I would like to ask for another as I continue to support my son, elderly parents and all the other busy things of life – and now a likely house move on the cards as well!
May you be well.
With gratitude

Hi Regine,
thank you for the blessing last week.
Could I make a new request for this week? This time for me and my Viktoria in our endevours.
Best regards,
Marko
Regine says
Hi Marko,
Welcome back! 🙂 Sure – I‘ll include both of you.
Hope you‘re having a good week,
Regine
Valerie says
Greetings Regine, from the “Nickel”: Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa and Vicki!
Shirleen is doing so well that she’s now thinking that she wants to move to a place that will give her more privacy. She has my sister Vicki combing the area for a new residence. I’m concerned that she may be attempting to leave a remarkably nice situation for one that will disappoint, but I’m not there and rightly have no say in the matter. I’ll trust that she and my sisters will work out what needs to happen. Would you please add a blessing intention that Shirleen stay or go to the best living situation for her?
And as always, we all appreciate your general blessing!
May you be blessed as well,
Valerie
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
My favourite nickel! 🙂
It‘s great to hear that Shirleen is doing so well!. I‘m happy to add an intention to further the situation, but I won‘t intrude upon her free will with the blessing. Unless she has given her blessing (sorry, couldn‘t resist! 😉 ) for me to use that exact intention, I‘ll slightly rephrase it to something a tad more open like „may Shirleen get the living situation which is best for her“ or something to that effect. Hope that‘s ok! 🙂
Regine
Valerie says
Thanks for the chuckle, Regine! (“Given her blessing…) 🙂
Your choice of wording is perfect. And I agree that it is crucial to not attempt to override anyone’s free will.
Perhaps the energies are already at work? I received a text just now from my sister Vicki, saying that Shirleen and Carmen (the proprietor) are having open and respectful conversations about Shirleen’s sense of constraint, and solutions may be forthcoming. When Vicki offered Shirleen an assessment of an alternative place for her, Shirleen made it clear that she intends to stay put. Part of the reason, in addition to a good relationship with Carmen, may be that Shirleen now also has a good friend, a Japanese-American resident named Rikki, with whom she blows off some steam about gossip-worthy staff. Sometimes I wonder if gossip might just be the oldest form of human entertainment. 🙂
Thanks again for your kindness to me and my family!
Valerie
Regine says
Hey Valerie,
Thanks for the update. It sounds as if Shirleen has things well in hand, doesn‘t it? 😉
For what it‘s worth, I‘ve had a few experiences where energies clearly where at work before the actual „working“ with them happened. I don‘t see why that couldn‘t happen with blessings, too. Time seems to be just a rather loose concept for divine energies… 🙂
In any case, I wish all of you all the best in these challenging times. We‘ve cared about elderly relatives, too, and I remember all too well how each time when you think you‘ve reached a stable state, something changes and things need to be sorted out anew. That can be quite demanding. It‘s great that Shirleen has found a friend – glad to hear that. Human needs are human needs, no matter how old or frail one might be…
All the best to you, and please tell your family I hope things will work out great for all of you!

Hello Milkyway, thank you for the blessing two weeks ago, and could you please include me in your blessings again this week? No special intention this time, just requesting a general blessing.
Thanks so much,
Helen W
Regine says
Hi Helen,
Of course, and you‘re very welcome.
