Blessings for Situations
As we have said elsewhere, blessing is a practice that applies to practically every single situation in normal life. It is difficult to imagine a situation which one could not bless. Even in extreme situations of despondency, horror or whatever, there is always an angle from which one can bless.
This section contains blessings for various situations. We wish this section to be also YOUR section, dear reader, so please contact us here with your own blessings and your experiences in this practice.
The editors of the website reserve the right to make slight editorial changes to keep the blessings in line with the spirit of the site, itself in line with the presentation of blessing in ‘The Gentle Art of Blessing’. We hope to receive many more from you all, especially if you have used them successfully.
