About Heart Sessions

Hello all. This blog is intended to honor the group meditations initiated by Tom Sawyer, now carried on by friends of his since his passing. Being physically spread out as we are we have agreed to sit down in our own homes at the same clock time, 9pm EST on Sunday nights. We sit for at least 20 minutes, although sitting for longer periods is no problem if you so choose.


There is no specified technique for these meditations. Precisely prescribed actions sometimes become unauthentic and what is meaningful for one person may not be for another. So if you choose to assist you may use a favored technique or listen within, apply self-honesty, and allow growth. There is no political or economic agenda involved. There are no dues or dogma. The essential point is an honest willingness to help.


Each week there is a suggested focus as posted on this blog. We previously had been using an email list but now, through the kind assistance and generous guidance of Barbara Whitfield and Donald Brennan, we have the pleasure of this blog forum. Loving thanks to you both. Comments may be left by clicking the "Leave Comments Here" link below each post.

For Sunday, May 16th, 2010

Hello all, the Dalai Lama says our enemies are often our greatest teachers, by bringing our human inadequacies to the surface that we may deal with them. To do so requires the courage to face ourselves honestly and the strength to resist less-than-loving human tendencies, buoyed up by a broad spiritual perspective on life.

These things are not always easy as we struggle with our human-ness. Compassion for our weaknesses, and those who bring them up, is essential.

This Sunday may we sit for the compassion, the strength, and the courage to shape our own lives into the highest ideal we can grasp, into a practical spiritual presence on Earth.

Thank you,

Richard
