The Power of Blessings: More Than Just Words
Intentional Blessings Hold Real Power
How many times have you said “God bless you”? It might feel like just a greeting, but blessings are much deeper when we truly mean them. Have you ever wondered why giving and receiving blessings feels so good? Let’s dive into the power of blessings, how they work, their impact, and how they’re more powerful than we realize.
What Are Blessings?
A blessing is more than just a nice thing to say. It’s a positive thought or wish for someone else’s well-being. According to Brahma Kumari Shivani, blessings are thoughts—whether good or bad—that have real power. But, unlike casual greetings, a true blessing has a deep, spiritual value that can uplift and protect the person receiving it.
How Do Blessings Actually Work?
Arthur E. Powell, in his book The Astral Body, says that there’s a constant flow of spiritual energy available to us. When we bless someone, we act as a channel for that energy to flow through. This means anyone can give a blessing and make a real difference in someone’s life! It’s not just gurus or spiritual leaders who can give meaningful blessings—we all have the power to do it.
When you bless someone with real intent, it’s like sending out positive energy that can help protect, heal, or uplift them. But if you don’t mean it, the blessing doesn’t have the same impact.
Can Curses Be Stopped?
Surprisingly, curses work in a similar way to blessings—they’re just negative thoughts directed at someone. However, you can choose not to let a curse affect you! If your aura, or energy field, is strong and positive, the curse won’t have an impact. Instead, it bounces back to the person who sent it.
For example, if someone sends a negative thought to hurt you but you have a kind, positive nature, that thought can’t affect you. Instead, it returns to the sender, causing harm to them instead. It’s like the saying goes, “Curses come home to roost.”
The Power of Positive Thoughts
Blessings work no matter how far away the person is. Distance doesn’t weaken a true blessing. Whether someone is across the street or across the world, the power of blessings is such that positive energy you send out will find its way to them.
Example of Blessings at Work: Mother’s Love
A mother’s blessing is one of the strongest. Even when her child is far away, her love and protective energy keep them safe. It’s the perfect example of how distance doesn’t limit the power of a blessing.
BK Shivani on Intentions
Brahma Kumari Shivani talks about how we often say blessings out of habit, like “God bless you” after someone sneezes. But these blessings carry no power unless they come from the heart. A true blessing is one that’s said with real intent and emotion.
Everyday Blessings
You don’t have to be a spiritual leader to give someone a blessing. We all have the ability to bless others. Whether it’s wishing someone a good day with sincerity or sending positive energy during a tough time, these little blessings can have a big impact.
Both blessings and curses are forms of thought energy. A curse aimed at a person who is negative or careless can affect them, but positive people can shield themselves from such negative energy.
Conclusion: Be the Channel for Blessings
On a spiritual level, there is an infinite supply of positive energy available. We are the channels through which this energy flows when we bless others. The next time you bless someone, do it with intent and watch the impact it has. Blessings aren’t just nice words—they’re powerful energy that can change someone’s life. So, let’s be mindful of the words we speak and use them to spread love and positivity!
