Weekly Blessings 46 – Wednesday, November 20th, 2024

34 Comments

+++ 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’…

  2. Hello Regine,
    Please include me in the Wednesday blessing–
    I have developed pain and stiffness in my right hand fingers and right knee that is hampering my work in healthcare.
    Each day my prayer for my team is that we can do good work, prevent and catch mistakes and give good advice, so that sickness may be healed, suffering relieved, and prisoners set free.
    Thank you for your continued practice of blessing! It is so important in the dark and dangerous times in which we live.

  3. Hi Regine-
    Thank you so much for this assistance. I appreciate it. I just read your ‘behinds the scenes’ essay from March. That was very helpful and as Valerie mentioned, delightful to read.
    For a specific intention, I would like blessings to encourage me to take up the MOE practices. I struggle with the discipline to commit to this or any system that JMG discusses.
    Hope you have a wonderful week full of many blessings,
    MJ from MA

    • Hi MJ,

      Glad to hear the Behind the Scenes essay was helpful! For what it’s worth, I think the MOE is rather quirky, but absolutely awesome both in the practices and in its effects. Although I might be a bit biased, as I’m an MOE Master Teacher and the MOE is part of the journey which got me to start these blessings in the first place… 😀

  5. My family would like to receive a blessing again this week: Our daughter Joanna (she is getting her bandages off this week), my husband Josiah, and myself along with my unborn daughter. Thank you!

  6. Hi Regine,
    Another blessing for this week if you would, much appreciated.
    I offer mine to you.
    We sure do live in interesting times.
    Warmly,
    Jeff

  9. Hi Regine,
    I wanted to say thank you for the blessing a few weeks ago after Hurricane Helene. I felt like I was able to stay more centered in the midst of the chaos.

    This week I’d like to request a blessing for my sister Holly TJ in Atlanta and her daughter Lucy who was born on November 1. Holly is a Buddhist with a connection to Kuan Yin. She mentioned to me that she can feel people praying for her lately, which has been a wonderful experience.

    Thank you so much!

    • Hi Andy,

      Glad to hear the blessing has helped, and I hope your personal situation has improved by now! And what a beautiful thing to experience for your sister.

      I‘ve put them on the list. Do you want to sign up for yourself, too? I don‘t mind at all blessing people who don‘t currently „need“ it. 😉

  10. Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! Would you kindly sign us up for another week of blessings? They truly do make life flow more smoothly. 🙂
    Vanessa is undergoing radiation treatment this week. It turns out that the bit the surgeons removed from her breast a couple weeks ago was cancer, but it had not yet escaped. So, as an abundance of caution, she’s getting radiation treatment each day of this week (Monday through Friday) and is understandably stressed out. If you would tailor a special blessing to calm and protect her, that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks as always,
    Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa and Vicki

    • Hi Valerie,

      It‘s my absolute pleasure each week to include the lot of you! And of course I‘ll add something for Vanessa – sorry to hear about that, but at the same time it‘s a relief it hasn‘t spread. May she be fine and her health fully restored as soon as possible.

      How is Shirleen doing?

      Regine

      • Thanks so much, Regine! 🙏
        Shirleen is settling in nicely. Vicki bought a small electric fireplace for her room, which she loves. She is building a Zen garden outside her window, which includes a hanging bird feeder just outside that same window. On a whim (as a result of your blessing 🤔) I sent a stylish pair of support socks. She says the pain in her legs is gone when she wears them. 🙏
        Oh, I forgot to ask: May I send you blessings this week?
        Valerie

        • Hey again,

          Stylish support socks… 😀 That’s a really neat idea! Thanks a lot for the update. It sounds indeed as if she is settling in nicely. And I’m sure the birds will appreciate the zen garden – and not just the birds!

          And yep, you may, and I’d appreciate them very much this week. Thanks!

  11. Hello again Regine.
    Again I would like to thank you for last week’s blessing, and to request to be included in this week’s blessing.
    Maybe this time I’ll point you to a more specific request (in addition to the general blessing of course). I’m perennially stuck regarding the question of what to do for a living and how to go about it. I’m sick of this stuckness, and I’d really appreciate some kind of breakthrough…
    Many thanks,
    Omer

    • Hi Omer,

      Welcome back. That‘s a difficult situation, and touches on so many things, doesn‘t it? I‘ll be happy to include this intention.

      Hope your week is being good to you,

      Regine
