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, January 16th, 2011

Hello all, Ghandi's quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world" can be stated more immediately as, "You are what the world is".

In the wake of the tragedy in Tucson, Arizona many theories concerning angry, divisive speech have been floated on the media ocean. Politicians and pundits have had a field day. In simple terms though, whatever one says or does in this world is a promotion of that attitude. If someone is kind and thoughtful, they are promoting kindness and thoughtfulness. If one is angry and divisive, they are promoting anger and divisiveness - by their very action - whether anyone is listening or not.
 
We manifest from our thoughts, to our words, to our actions - every day.
 
May we sit this Sunday for the awareness of that responsibility, and the guidance to choose the highest path, in ourselves as well as in others.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
