Blessings app: Doing good has never been so easy. The Blessings app enables you to do good for others - quickly and easily. How do you do it? By blessing a person and their blessing wish via the Blessings app in a group of 8 people. You receive one point for each blessing you make. You can also have a topic blessed for 8 points. You are not only doing good for others, but also for yourself! Why bless? Because blessing is very simple, quick and has a great effect. Blessing is also good for you. Both when you bless and when you are blessed. Why 8 people? The app is based on the findings of science author Lynn McTaggart. In her book "The Power of Eight", which is well worth reading, she describes how she found in group intention experiments that when 8 people come together and set an intention, this develops more (effective) power than with a group of 7, 9, 12, etc. people. However, we are not setting an intention for someone, but blessing. How does blessing work? Very simply. After a short attunement, you wish the person / subject good things with a sincere heart. Or, if you believe in something higher, you ask the divine - with a sincere heart - for a blessing for the person/subject. That is it. Does it cost anything? No, the Blessings app is free of charge. We are happy about in-app donations. Try it out. You will receive 8 points (a blessing) as a gift at the start. We look forward to seeing you. You are welcome.
