Hand blessings ceremonies are apparently common in hospitals. For those who use their hands for healing, blessing or any other sacred work, it’s a lovely idea.
Creating ritual can be extremely satisfying, so I encourage you to create your own, but below are some simple ideas to get you started.I would envision this happening outdoors, with participants sitting in a circle with a small table in the center (or a cloth directly on the ground), on which the various physical elements of the ceremony would rest. To minimize talking during the ritual, you can explain how it will work beforehand.
Welcome and gather the group
Ground and center; spend a little time together in stillness
Speaker 1: Bless these hands and the sacred work that they do.
Speaker 2: May they be able to lay their burdens down when they are weary.
Speaker 3: May they be channels for the light.
Speaker 4: May they receive as well as give.
Speaker 5: May they be instruments of love and consciousness.
Speaker 1: Bless these hands and the sacred work that they do.
End with a “namaste” or other suitable gesture.
It’s always nice to share food after a ceremony.
Whether or not you decide to do a hand blessing ceremony, please accept my blessing:
Bless
your hands and the sacred work that they do. May they bring you joy,
connection and meaning. May they be sensitive, feeling what words cannot
say. May they be tender, bringing loving witness to suffering. May they
be strong and useful, bringing into the world what is needed. May they
channel light and express the love in the divine heart.
