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, April 10th, 2011

Hello all, in our culture today, one of the measurements for politicians is 'sticks to their guns-principles-ideology no matter what'. Compromise is equalled to 'caving in' while cooperation for the greater good is completely ignored. Yet, if a traffic light malfunctions people immediately begin cooperating to get through the intersection unscathed; nature itself is healthiest when there is balanced cooperation; and one of the measurments of childhood is 'plays well with others'.
 
It seems clear that ideological differences among politicians are largely a justification for deeper power struggles, who gets to control the flow of money to their supporters. Yet it is compassionate cooperation, the honest concern for others, that is a hallmark of a thriving society.
 
May we sit this Sunday for that compassionate cooperation, for the honest concern, for the opening of hearts in our politicians and leaders. May the Light of the Divine come down and guide us through the times we're facing.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
