You can just bless things

Transcript

​You can bless things. It’s easy! You can do this!

You just go around blessing things.

You don’t need a clerical collar, you don’t need a fancy hat (although the hat might help).

This is a non-denominational practice. It’s not particularly religious; you can be of any religion, or no religion.

There’s no prerequisites. It’s easy! You just do it.

This is a practice of perception, of appreciation, of connection, of expanding benevolence.

It’s not a metaphysical practice. The point is your intention, not the effect that it might have on whatever it is that you’re blessing.

I normally do this silently, but for this video I’m going to do it out loud, which feels kind of dorky, but this way you can hear what I’m thinking.

When you do it, you can do it silently. I found the practice is embarrassing at first, even if you do it silently; but if you overcome your embarrassment, it becomes ecstatic.

Bless this place.

Bless this trail. I, personally, bless this place.
