Blessing of the mother is the most powerful amulet for the child. This invisible energy protection stays with a person all his life. She is always with him, and even when the mother is far away or she is no longer alive. Creating a kind of protective capsule, the mother's blessing protects from troubles, failures, evil eye or curses. In it, a person can draw strength, inspiration and well-being. For the first time the mother gives blessing to her child in childhood, and then before every significant event in his life. How to bless children properly? At what age to begin, and with what prayers to accompany?
The Sacrament of the Child's Blessing
The first blessing must take place in the child's conscious age. In the ancient Slavic culture it was believed that awareness comes to 7-8 years. A small person thinks about life's purpose, identifies himself and learns to take responsibility. At this age, the mother gives the child all the energy of life stored for him. There is a tradition of blessing. It is, like the first communion, a holiday for the whole family. On this day, the child is presented with gifts and a festive table is laid. But before mother prepares for blessing - she buys an icon of the Virgin, teaches prayers, thinks about parting words. The Sacrament of Blessing takes place without witnesses. The mother takes the icon in her hands and, standing right in front of the child, pronounces "Mother's prayer for her child," after which she addresses the child with sincere wishes, coming from the heart: "I give you my son / daughter (name) my maternal blessing for life and I wish you ... ". Wishes should be well thought out, embrace the interests of the child, guide the way of good and love, but should not limit his freedom of choice. At the end of the sacrament, the mother kisses the child and gives him the icon of the Virgin asking her to keep it and turn to her with prayer in difficult moments. From this moment the child is protected by the Mother of God and the Mother's Blessing.
After the sacrament of blessing, mother in the morning and evening for seven days reads a special prayer: "Lord Most High and Mother of God! Enter me into the image of Heavenly Motherhood. Inform true Love, Grace, Longsuffering in the upbringing of children, whom I entrust to the Most Holy Will and give to your guardianship. Let my Mother's Blessing for Life, abundance and prosperity merge with yours. Blessed Mother of God, Mother of the new Spiritual Renaissance, heal the wounds of Your children by Your Motherly Love. Let them be healed and quickened in the Lord. The Most Reverend Heavenly, Mother of God, on the altar of holy Love. I give my son without a remnant (my daughter) (name). Oh, All-Good, help to see the light in suffering, sanctify the sacrifice and bless the Way. Amen".
Blessings of a child after 14 years and an adult
Up to the age of 14 the child learns to use the energy of life transferred by the mother. After 14 years, there is a repeated, and this time a written blessing. Before writing a blessed farewell, the mother reads "Mother's prayer for her child". The letter can be written in any form, but at the end it is ascribed: "In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen". The written letter is burned by the mother and after seven days she watches the child's successes. If the mother's heart does not notice the changes for the better in the life of the child, you need to write the letter again. You can give a written blessing until it starts working. A child who does not have a mother and an adult who has not received a maternal blessing as a child or is unable to be blessed in real time can ask the mother for blessing also in writing. To do this, you should retire in a quiet place, light a candle, put a picture of your mother (if you have one) and read "Prayer-treatment." When peace comes and the soul joins with the vibrations of prayer, it's time to start writing a letter. In the letter, you can lay out all your experiences or even grievances related to childhood, ask your mother for forgiveness and forgive all of her mistakes. It is very good if the soul cleanses with tears. It is necessary that the pain accumulated in it should come out. When thoughts run out, the letter can be completed. Let its end be the request of the mother to bless. Such treatment has not only a force that strengthens the energy channels of the mother and child, but also has an effective therapeutic effect. At the conclusion of the confession, the letter is burned. Seven days after the request for blessing, a long-awaited change comes in the life of a person, indicating a "reprogramming" of fate.
