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, November 14th, 2010

Hello all, I was recently reminded of an ancient Jewish teaching; "If you seek to save the world, set your own house in order first." This teaching has survived because it is true on many different levels. First, our own house, our own domicile. To care for ourselves enough to provide ourselves with whatever decent living arrangements which may be within reach. Secondly, our house as our body. To care enough to attend to our health and well-being. Then, our house as a metaphor for our lives. Psychologically dealing with the ebb and flow and obstacles of life in a self-loving, and outwardly loving, manner is a strong foundation. Upon this foundation may we reach ever higher spiritually toward the purity which is the Source of all we know.

This Sunday may we sit for that purity to shine through our lives on all levels, for all people.

Thank you,

Richard
