Becoming a Blessing

18,504 views

"A good story is like a compass, it points to something true and invites us to orient our own direction according to it and perhaps to live a little better." With these words Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen proceeds to tell stories that enthrall and enchant and indeed help to orient us and guide us to seek to live better. She shares stories of her grandfather, whom she calls a "flaming mystic," that were told to her as a very young child and yet still resonate for her today. She speaks of the power and web of connection among people and how that can be evidenced by blessing each other out loud. This video itself is a blessing to be cherished and shared.

I had the great good fortune to spend a week retreat with Rachel in Joshua Tree National Park in the '80s and it changed the way I look at healing - life, and many other aspects of being human. I also highly recommend her books - Kitchen Table Wisdom and My Grandfather's Blessing!
She is a great gift!

What inspired you about this video? I believe this to be true and attempt to follow this wisdom. It does no good to direct hate or anger toward another. It only adds energy to what is being created by what you hate or are fearful of or angry at. It makes it live stronger and does nothing to change or improve the situation. But sending love to what you wish to grow stronger, or change, or improve makes that stronger and can do great things towards creating in the world what you wish to see. Thank you Dr Remen. You are a blessing to me and perhaps you are one of the "36".

Sometimes, we need to be reminded of these things.

I loved her connection to the audience and her belief in her message for herself and for all.
This reminds me of Matthew Kelly's advice that we must create holy moments for others by how we listen, speak, and treat each person.

Kristin Pedemonti

Absolutely beautiful reminders of how simple it is to be a blessing: be kind, listen, witness, speak your heart. Thank you. As I embark tomorrow facilitating workshops for survivors of trauma sharing tools to help them see the wonder and wholeness of themselves beyond their perceived brokenness, I will carry Dr Remen's words in my heart and speak them out.
