+++ 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 bless everybody who has requested it 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 bless 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 bless people who have explicitly requested it in a comment to the current week’s blessing post. I.e. if you would like to be blessed again next week, you will need to comment again.
(To do that, you can come back at any point during the week. I put up the next Blessing List right when I close the preceding one, so you can sign up for the next blessing whenever it’s convenient for you.)
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.
Please feel free to also share the link to the Blessing List with other people who are interested in being blessed. Everybody is welcome to sign up.
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! 🙂
For those of you who’d also like to bless others and aren’t sure how to start, I’ve posted a practical guide: Blessing: How to Get Started in 9 Simple Steps.
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’…

Greetings from the Nickel, Regine! We ask if you will kindly put us on the list for this week’s blessing.
Everyone is doing well. In particular, I have successfully wrestled with some old psychological rubbish and feel very free indeed right now! It’s amazing how seeing, and then dealing effectively with, decades-old gunk is a total game changer.
Thanks for your generosity! And may you be blessed as well. 🙂
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
Glad to hear you‘re all doing well!
And yep, I‘ve put the lot of you on the list for Wednesday. Thanks for showing up so faithfully and giving me the chance to practice – I really appreciate that! 🙂

Hi Regine. I’ll take a blessing this week, if you don’t mind. My wife and I are headed to a family reunion on Fri and lasting into next week, so to ask for something specific this time, a blessing on our upcoming trip and peace in this time of heightened polarization.
Thank you very much.
Regine says
Hi Justin,
I don’t mind at all! 🙂 Will do.
Just to make sure I didn‘t misunderstand you: Does your wife want to be included as well? I thought from your comment that it‘s just you who wants to be blessed explicitly (plus the trip, of course, which is kind of a shared thing), but I‘m not 100% sure. 🙂
Regine
Justin Patrick Moore says
Hi, you can just include me. Thank you. I understand.
Regine says
Thanks for clarifying! That‘s what I thought, but I wasn‘t 100% sure. 🙂

Hello, Regine,
Well, a positive status report, and a request for another blessing. Last week, on the very day of your blessing, I had an undeniable feeling that my search for a new place to live had started to move. It felt like something became “unstuck” somehow. I made a couple of phone calls to friends, resulting in several invitations to look at apartments or shared living spaces, and other suggestions. And now I am happy to report I’ve found a simple apartment on the second floor of a house. I know the house owner, an older woman whom I’ve liked for years. Fingers crossed, we have agreed to proceed without a lease, just on the basis of mutual trust and open communication. I need about a year there, and it looks likely that this will fit her needs, as well.
I’d request a blessing for a smooth process as I leave my home of ten years and start a new phase in my life.
*OHC*
Regine says
Hi OHC,
Oh wow, that is very good news. Congrats! 🙂
And yep, I’ve put you on the list for this week.
All the best to you, and I hope things will work out to whatever is best,
Regine
