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 17th, 2011

Hello all, in the dog training books by Cesar Millan, of "Dog Whisperer" fame, he maintains that dogs are hard-wired, no matter what their problems, to move toward that which is natural and balanced whenever given the chance. In the human experience we can see the inclination for that but, due to free will, it's not hard-wired. There has to be a level of receptivity in humans, and receptivity requires humility.

To drop our arrogance about being 'right', to drop our selfishness about wanting more, to release our fears of what may be and attachments to what has been, requires an open and intelligent humility.

May we sit for that open, honest, intelligent humility this Sunday. May we sit for it in ourselves and in the world.

Thank you,

Richard
