Becoming a Blesser
"The act of blessing, berekh, means imparting vital power to another person.
The one who blesses gives the other person something of his/her own soul."
- Claus Westermann
As we age, many of our roles fall away and often with them, a sense of identity and purpose. “Who am I now?” is a question that elders frequently ask. A life-giving answer can be, “I’m a Blesser.” Becoming a Blesser calls us to mindfulness, an open heart and intention. Being a Blesser means lending strength, courage and wisdom to another that leads to their wholeness.
Taking on the identity of Blesser can bring us into relationship with the world in a refreshing, profound way.
