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, December 5th, 2010

Hello all, at this time there are concerns over political attitudes, both national and international. There is the awareness of the end of a lifestyle, and long term ecological problems, where 'fracking' is just getting under way amid Pennsylvania farm land. Friends and friends of friends are facing huge personal challenges. And a teary-eyed woman asked a mall Santa for a Christmas miracle, without further explanation.

Whether a natural function of life on Earth, the cleaning up of karmic requirements, or the result of human frailties in action, there are many things to be faced which come under the heading of 'sad and bad'.

Ecclesiastes and the resulting folk song "For everything there is a season..." is leaned upon for strength and guidance here. From the highest perspective nothing is wasted, everything is used as a lesson to show the way home. This Sunday may we sit for the learning of that lesson, for what is most loving overall, both within ourselves and for others as well.

Thank you,

Richard
