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, July 11th, 2010

Hello all, I know of a couple in their late 80's, married for 60-some years, who live separate lives inside of the same house. Indelibly married, inexplicably split, they recycle their days and years with little growth. How their situation may fit into the vast karma and chaos of a grand overall plan is not for me to say. I will leave that to God, spirituality, and their individual life reviews.


However, the concept of 'learning from what I see' falls within my personal domain. What is my relationship to those closest to me? Those nearby? Those who share our house the Earth? My hope is to be loving and beneficial.

Doing so requires the excising of personal foibles, the internal growth of what is loving, and a beneficial balance between personal and outward care. This Sunday may we sit for that simple, complex beauty of actions, and their tightly linked attitudes, that are loving and beneficial to all.

Thank you,

Richard
