Welcome to another mystical perspective.

And today I am very,

Very happy to bring a beautiful subject that is very close to my heart.

It's on blessings.

And I have been signing my email with blessings for a while now.

I wrote a book called Angel Blessings.

And I have often talked and written poems about blessings.

I have written songs about blessings.

And I wanted to share the power of blessings with you today with a talk and a meditation as well.

When I started to think about blessings,

I went to Wikipedia and I looked up blessings just to see what they have.

And I was very interested to find that all major religions include blessings,

Which is pretty amazing because blessings cross over all religions.

There's many disagreements in religions,

But not in blessings.

There are different forms of blessings given in the Christian and Abrahamic religions.

To be blessed means to be favored by God,

The source of all blessings.

And it says that therefore they're directly associated with and are believed to come from God.

That's to express a blessing is like bestowing a wish on someone that they experience the favor of God.

And to acknowledge that God is the source of all blessings.

And in Judaism,

It's really an interesting process that they go through,

Reciting us at a specified moment during prayer or a ceremony,

Especially before and after partaking of food.

The function of blessings is acknowledging God is the source of all blessings.

And in the Muslim practice religion,

It's very interesting.

Their greeting with one another is always done with a blessing.

And in English,

Their blessing that Muslims greet each other with is may peace,

Mercy,

And blessings of God be upon you.

And in Buddhism and all the different forms of Hinduism,

There's also blessings that happen.

And it can happen with devotional practices,

To ask for blessings in Buddhism from Buddha or an enlightened being.

Monks and nuns are believed to be able to convey spiritual power by giving a blessing as well.

And it's very interesting that blessings are universal.

And I love that.

I love that we all can be sharing in the power of blessings.

And I was also considering and comparing what a blessing is versus what a prayer is.

And a blessing is receiving and being open to receive a gift of grace from God.

A prayer is usually making a conversation or asking God for something.

But when you do send and receive positive energies of light,

It's also a form of blessings.

So if you're not praying,

But actually even in Reiki,

Sending light or healing to someone,

Then that is also a form of blessing.

But what's important to remember is it's not us,

Our individual separated ego,

Sending that blessing.

But again,

It's from the source of all love and light that that blessing comes through us.

And the way you receive and send that blessing of light or love also determines the strength and the power of the blessing.

I live here in Hawaii,

And in Hawaii,

It's very common to bless a car,

To bless a baby,

To bless a home,

To bless a business.

We love our blessings,

But there is protocol involved in the blessings,

Which includes when I do blessings,

I get sacred water,

Water from a sacred river or stream,

And I put energy on it.

I also get tea leaves,

And I dip my tea leaf in the water.

And I use this to bless a house.

I use it to bless in a marriage.

I have a wedding.

And it's,

Again,

Interesting because when you walk into a Catholic church,

There's holy water that you partake in and put on and dip your hand in.

And also there's the blessing of the Father,

The Son,

And the Holy Ghost.

So we also address in our Hawaiian practice and also Native American addressing the four different directions,

East,

West,

North,

South,

And recognize them,

Creating an opening,

A vortex of sort of power that can come through us to do that blessing.

And often a chant is involved as well,

Calling in the powers of love and light.

A blessing can be done for a lot of different reasons,

But you can do a blessing yourself.

And it is really something that is in the realm of possibility where you can bless your home.

And you can actually do saging and clearing and then go around and bless your home and actually call in the ultimate light and love of God.

And raise your hand and ask to receive it and then share that light and love and clear your home of any negative energy and put in its place the blessing of love and light.

And we're going to go into blessings that we can receive now.

I'm going to share some words I've written and then we'll do a meditation.

This one I wrote called All Blessings of Love.

All blessings of love from the highest.

We are asking you to know and believe that you are worthy so that you can receive love from the highest.

For it is there just waiting for you,

Like a gift from God wrapped and so precious and beautiful with your name on it.

See that gift waiting for you right now.

This precious blessing from God.

And the wonderful thing about this gift is that once you open it,

You can give this gift to others.

And others can also give that gift as well.

That is what we are doing in this very moment we are sharing in this beautiful precious gift of love.

So right now in your heart,

Set an intention to ask for that great gift of love from the place that is in your true heart of hearts.

From the place where the core of your innermost,

Most intimate being is.

Ask and you shall receive the love,

The blessing that you need to make that divine connection with your soul and to receive the blessings of the Master and the angels.

Allow yourself to be right now who you truly are.

A brilliant radiant ray of infinite light and unconditional love.

That energy is alive right here and now.

Do not limit yourself in any way.

Do not put this off and hide this precious gift for another day.

For you are worthy.

So much more worthy than you might believe.

You are a blessed child of the universe and God's love is right here now waiting to be redeemed.

So take this gift of love that is waiting for you right now.

Open that gift and feel the joyfulness that comes from that presence,

That beautiful blessing from the highest.

And shine forth that light that comes from the universe,

The stars,

The cosmos.

And give thanks to God for this gift,

This blessing of great love that you are.

And may all good things bless you each and every single day.

And may the Lord's light shine upon you as you walk upon the path each day.

And may you find a way in your life for that gift and presence of God to be shining bright.

And may you find the power and the wisdom to face all the challenges in your life.

And may the hunger you love for bring you what you need.

May you feel supported by those who care about you in life.

And may you feel worthy for the miracles at work,

Always present,

Although you may not see.

And as time spins through the wheel that turns this earth around,

And may the prayer wheel that is there in your soul bring you the enlightenment you hope to find.

For your very life is a prayer.

And all the love that you seek is right there in your heart to find.

And with every single breath you take there is a great blessing to be found.

May all good things come to you.

That's my wish for you right now.

For life is good and love is here if you just believe to bless you every day,

Even if you may not know how.

Let's go into a deeper state of meditation with making sure that you're relaxed and comfortable in that blessing of light and love.

Sitting with ease and letting that light flow through you.

Breathe deep that blessing.

And as you breathe out let it completely fill your entire body and your mind.

Breathe that blessing in.

Feel that light that is there in that blessing shining through every single cell in your body.

Allow that breath to heal and balance and align everything that needs to be aligned to be a perfect channel for a blessing.

And now let's go deeper into the silence within.

Going to that place where we can release any stress and tension that has been accumulating through your life.

Going to the place where that true blessing comes from.

Feel the grace right now of that blessed place.

Feel yourself as part and one of that beautiful energy that brings blessings to all.

That inner presence within us all.

And let it shine forth with a radiant light.

Let it grow with love.

Let it fill your entire energy field,

Everything around you.

Extending out beyond your body,

Into your community,

Into your neighborhood,

Out through the whole area where you live,

To the world,

Until it encircles the entire planet.

And send this beautiful blessing that you are out to a loved one right now.

Send it out on wings of love and light from your soul to the soul of your loved one.

Feel that energy as it takes flight.

And now send that blessing out to someone you might not feel so good about,

That you need to forgive.

Send that blessing out and know that blessing frees you of any karmic ties.

And recognizes that we are all one with lessons to learn.

Send that blessing out to the world and Mother Earth.

And feel how this planet needs to be balanced and restored and healed.

And let it encircle the entire world in light.

Bless all living beings.

Bless the Earth.

Bless the Moon.

Bless the planets.

Bless the stars and all celestial bodies.

Bless the trees,

The plants,

The flowers,

The waters.

All those who swim and the birds that fly.

Bless the four-legged ones and all the animals.

Bless the insects and the ones that crawl.

Bless all of humanity and all of life on Earth.

And send your love out to all things throughout all space and time,

Throughout all dimensions.

Celebrate that gift of freedom,

That love,

That healing now and forever,

Now and forever.

And allow that blessing to come back to you 100-fold,

1 million-fold.

And let it come back into your heart.

Let it fill your lungs and your liver and your kidneys and your entire stomach and your neck and your head.

And feel so wonderful with this blessing of total healing,

Love and peace.

See that entire spiral of blessings and the golden energy moving throughout your entire being from your head to your toe.

And know that you are blessed right here and right now.

And breathe a breath of gratitude for God's blessings.

Breathe deep and come back realizing that now there is a real shift in the energy as the light of God and the love of God has come through you.

Recognize that energy,

That spirit,

That presence that has been at work.

And know that you are open to receive these blessings every single day of your life right here and now and always.

Say thank you God and so it is and I'll close with the Aramaic Lord's Prayer.

Avun de Borshmaya nidh gedah shishamah teh teh malkutha nwei teh sevi nakah kana de Borshmaya o barah haolam lakma desu nkana nyamana wa shvoklan ha'abena ikanada panyin shwa kinal hayaben ula talan al nisiunah ella pisan menbisha metal de lakim al kutha u'hayla utish bakta lalam aamin,

Amen.

God bless you and your loved ones now and always.
