Weekly Blessings 49 – Wednesday, December 11th, 2024

48 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. I’d like a blessing

    I’ve failed so many semesters at uni and made a pigs breakfast of my life, I can’t get out of bed or do anything, I fail at the simplest of things, I simply am not there, I’ve been to the ER twice last week.

    I would like to find someone beautiful who loves me and whom I love.

    thank you for this

    • Hi pygmalion,

      I‘ve put you on the list. That sounds like a lot to deal with. First and foremost, I hope you‘re fine health-wise, and the ER visits were just temporary things,

  4. Hi Regine,
    Do please include me for this weeks blessings. I really notice when I forget or forgo to request a blessing!
    I offer you mine if you will have them.
    May love and light guide us,
    Jeff

    • Hey Jeff,

      Gladly! 🙂 Good to know you‘re feeling an effect. And yep, I‘d very much appreciate yours this week!

  5. Thank you for your blessings last week. Everything went off without a hitch and everyone there had a good time, a great turn out. Far better than anything I expected. I am beyond the beyond, with gratitude, and was overwhelmed by the support that came out for me. I’ll still be working on the public speaking this coming year, but with more confidence now, and some skills from the books I’ve been reading on it, and other practices I’ve been doing to support the journey.

    I appreciate all your behind the scenes work on the behalf of the community and people you bless. So I would like to offer a blessing to you this week if you’ll have it.

    • Hi Justin,

      Wow, well done – congratulations! 🙂 That‘s awesome, especially after you put in so much effort and love.

      Yep, I‘d have your blessing this week, and would in fact very much appreciate it. Thanks for offering!

      One question, though… is this comment of yours a signup for this week, or did you just want to report back? 😀 (If you don‘t reply to this, I‘ll take the liberty to treat it as a sign-up, since you‘re not exactly a first-timer. Hope that‘s ok.)

      • Hi Regine…

        I just wanted to follow up with you (not a sign up). And I’ll be happy to pass along a blessing. Thank you for the opportunity.

        Wow. Week 49. I’m impressed. That’s dedication, and as an experiment, I’d like to hear back on after a year if you have any thoughts on “a year of giving blessings” and you are up for it — that’s a lot of good you’ve woven into the world.

        • Hi Justin,

          Noted (about the non-signup) – thanks for clarifiying. 😉

          Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll keep that in mind. Not sure if I’ll be up to it right at the one-year mark, but maybe a bit later. Although I’m not sure yet if there is that much to say… 😀

  12. Hi Regine!
    Put me on the list. I have a job interview on Thursday. Also please send a blessing for our cat Maru. She isn’t feeling well. Thank you!

    • Hi Michele,

      Gladly. Sorry to hear about Maru – hope she’ll be better soon, and also for your job interview to go well,

  13. Greetings Regine!
    I would please ask for blessings this week. I have been having a rather rough time lately and while I am cautiously optimistic that everything is going to work out well soon, I could use all the help I can get.

    Thank you for your generosity.

  15. Greetings and thanks from the Nickel, Regine! We respectfully ask for more blessings this week.
    Everyone is doing well. I heard last night that Shirleen has dusted off her copy of the I Ching and is studying it. How she does this with her vision the way it is, is beyond me. She is one determined lady! Truly, your blessings do smooth the way.
    May I continue to send blessings to you this week?
    Thanks for your generosity! 🙂
    Valerie, Trevor, Shirleen, Vanessa, and Vicki

    • Hey Valerie,

      My favourite nickel – it‘s good to have you back! 🙂

      Glad to hear that you‘re all doing well. Shirleen is indeed one determined lady! It‘s awesome that she found something meaningful to do with her time, though, vision trouble or not.

      Yep, please, I‘d appreciate your blessings very much this week. Thanks for offering!

  19. Hello Regine,
    Could you please add me to your blessing list? Christmas is coming. I have many things to do in the next 2 weeks. It will be a big family gathering this year and my immune system seems to be struggling already.
    Thank you and may you also be blessed.

    • Hi EKC,

      Sure. I hope you’ll find some time to look forward to Christmas with your family, too, and won’t just drown in all the tasks. 🙂

      All the best to you,

      Regine

    • Hey Matt,

      Yep, that’s great! I’m very much looking forward to the blessing tomorrow. 🙂

      Thanks for signing up again,

      Regine

      PS: You didn’t mention any deities. Just wanted to let you know that unless you do in a particular week, I won’t include any requests to any divine beings in said week, just the general blessing which I do either way.

  22. Hello again. Regine,
    I would welcome inclusion in your blessing again this week. I’d appreciate a focus on the mental clarity to finish a bit of writing I’m working on.

    And I offer you my own blessing if you wish to have it.
    Thanks much, as always.
