My Blessing Circle Blog For the
last decade or so I have been "tuning in" and giving soul
blessings to my dear friends on special occasions such as their
birthdays, for healing, and as part of group ritual. I believe that
this is part of my service on the planet, and now that I have turned
60, "giving blessings" should become even more part of my daily life. I have created a blog
to share with the world those blessings I have created for my friends
as special gifts at important times of their lives or as part of
special rituals and celebrations. If you would like to receive a personal blessing, check out my blog and send me an email request with a 25-40 word description of yourself, and I will respond to the first 50 requests for free.
A Vision for a Peer-to-Peer Anonymous Blessing Community
While there are web-based services allowing people to request prayers or material support or to join a "prayer circle" that provides the name of someone to pray for, there is no simple way to offer an anonymous blessing from the heart to someone in need. My Blessing Circle will be a sharing community where those who need
a blessing can anonymously receive one from those who feel they have
the calling to be of service by "tuning in" to someone's Higher Self
and receiving from that person's soul, a few words of unconditional
love, encouragement, and/or support on life's journey. It would NOT be
a place for preaching, recruiting, or converting others to your
personal religion.
The service would be free in exchange for
helping to monitor blessing messages for appropriateness (no spam, no
curses or pranks, no preaching).
Blessing-receivers could upload
a photograph or symbolic image and/or short bio of themselves [or their
child] as well as request blessings focused on a particular theme or
issue.
Blessing-givers would be randomly assigned a recipient,
and could decide whether they wanted to see their associated bio.
Neither the giver or the receiver would be identified by name or email.
The
service would be "peer regulated." An inappropriate blessing message
could be flagged for removal by the receiver, and the giver would lose
their membership rights. Receiver biographies that gave away too much
personal data could also be flagged in a similar way. Really special
blessings could be tagged by the receiver and the giver sent an
automated "blessing appreciation message." These blessings would be
posted to the public area of the site for all to view.
Possible
"add-on" features could include a public forum and marketplace, "closed
circles" for members of self-defined spiritual groups (such as
individual churches, temples, fellowships, etc.) who want to share blessings only within their circles, as well as a way to
reward blessing-givers whose offerings are consistently rated as
special gifts.
Revenue would come from donations, from set-up fees from closed circles, and limited advertising on specific pages.
Those "givers" with high scores would be
honored each week in a photo gallery, and would be rewarded with
a portion of the site's revenues (if any) that they could keep or assign to a charity.
