+++ 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. I also respectfully ask for blessings from their respective deities during this general part of the cermony for those who have a relationship with a specific deity or deities.
(If you don’t feel comfortable sharing your personal religious beliefs on a public forum, there is no need to list them, as I will do this general part in any case. I trust that your personal deities will know who you are and will, hopefully, respond favourably to this general request. 🙂 If you do mention a specific deity or other divine being in your comment, I will add an extra request to this particular deity and ask them to bestow their blessings upon you, too.)
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 request in time, and it 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’…

Hi Regine,
I’m sure I missed the cut off for adding to last week’s blessing (which is today as I’m typing this on 9/11) trying to add a blessing request for sleeping through the night. I am getting up every 2 hours or so to use the bathroom so quality of sleep leaves much to be desired. I’m taking steps to remedy the situation but could certainly use a boost so please add sleeping deeply and well.
Thanks so much
Jeff
Regine says
Hey Jeff,
Ouch – that‘s tough! I hope you‘ll be able to remedy it soon.
Yep, you did miss it – sorry. In general, whenever I put up the new post (or add a line to the old post stating it‘s closed), that‘s the cutoff.
If you don‘t tell me otherwise, I‘ll include you in next week‘s blessing again (i.e. the one to which this post refers), with your intention.
And while the blessing is over, I could send you a big hug if you feel like you‘d need one! 🙂
Regine
Jeff says
Hi Regine,
Yes, please use this as my request for next week.
As far as a hug goes, I’m 73, live alone (my wife of 55 years passed away 4 years ago), and hugs are few and far between and very much cherished and appreciated!
Thank you and my blessings to you
Regine says
Well then…
It was only a virtual hug, alas, but heartfelt nonetheless. Hope you‘re having a great day, and especially a good night! 🙂
Regine
Jeff says
Virtual comes through somehow and I appreciate it.
The last few nights have been better actually, lets continue.
Jeff
Regine says
Very glad to hear the last few nights have been better! That’s good.
For good measure, I just sent you another hug, 🙂

Hello Milkyway,
I would very much like to be included in your blessings. I broke my arm very badly more than 2 years ago. It hasn’t healed and I have re-injured myself twice (not badly), both times in late August or early September, this year and last year.
Thank you so much for offering blessings. May you also be blessed.

Hi Claire,
Oh dear, that sounds like a big challenge. I’ve put you on the list for Wednesday, and I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery,
Regine
PS: I only put one of your comments through. I wasn’t sure which one you want to have posted, and went with this one. Hope that’s ok – if not, let me know.

Greetings from the Nickel, Regine! Vicki gives a heartfelt thank you for your blessings. Her last week at her job went well. This week she’s on a road trip to Yellowstone National Park, and will stop by our home on her way back to hers. It will be nice to see her again. If you would bless her trip, that would be much appreciated.
We’re all doing well, and hope you are, too. Thanks for your generosity. May you be blessed as well! (“Target” practice continues. :-))
Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki
Regine says
Hi Valerie,
How nice that you‘ll be able to see her in person! 🙂
Please tell Vicki she‘s very welcome, I‘m glad to hear all went well at the end, and of course I‘ll include the intention.
Yep, we‘re fine, too, and thanks for your continued blessing work! Hope your office printer is showing you some gratitude… 😉

Hello Regine,
I wanted to give you a break from my blessing requests in these last weeks but here I am again. I would much appreciate if you could include me in this week’s list. I’ve got some inner and outer work to do and it is requiring an amount of life force that I can’t seem to gather.
Thank you already
Natalia
Regine says
Hi Natalia,
Welcome back! There is no need to give me a break. This is freely offered, no strings attached – and I‘m serious when I say you do me a favour. Every person who signs up gives me a chance to practice, and more people mean I get to handle more energy, which is great practice. 🙂
So please don‘t hesitate to sign up each week if you want.
If you do feel you should give something in return (but please only if you do – as I said, there are no strings attached!), then you could pay it forward to somebody else, and do something nice for some other person. Something simple and quick will be perfectly fine, e.g. an extra smile to the supermarket cashier or a waitress. That way, you don‘t have to feel as if you‘re just taking, and not giving – and I‘d be glad to know what I do spreads out into the world. 🙂
