Blessings - Br. David Steindl-Rast

Experience the serenity of six blessings for everyday life in our new meditative film, "Blessings." Read by Br. David Steindl-Rast, "a man whose humble teachings," filmmaker Doug Menuez writes, "have helped millions to navigate the uncertainty and suffering bound up with being alive." Allow yourself to be reminded of the sacredness of every moment and to live from the great fullness of your heart.

Learn how to:

Cultivate true gratitude: Recognize and appreciate the inherent value of things as they are, even challenges. Find joy in the simple act of being alive.

Embrace sparkling humility: Stand tall while acknowledging both your limitations and potential. Honor the interconnectedness of all things, from the earth that sustains you to the dreams that inspire you.

Navigate imprecision with grace: Allow space for ambiguity and open-endedness. Recognize the value of both precision and imagination in different situations.

Treasure your memory: Learn to retain meaningful experiences and insights while letting go of negativity. Share kindness and let its ripples spread beyond your lifetime.

Welcome and savor change: See change as a natural and necessary part of life, offering opportunities for growth and new experiences. Appreciate the fleeting beauty of each moment.

Embrace departures with presence: Accept that goodbyes are an inevitable part of life, making arrivals possible. Be fully present in every moment, appreciating the unique value of each experience.

Very moving words and thoughts. The Benedictine monk & mystic David Steindl-Rast emphasizes the importance of blessing (Latin: benedicere). Benediction or blessing require a cultivation of our daily language to mature on the spiritual path.
