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, July 17th, 2011

Hello all, as we look around the world we see the results of ourselves, our human yin and yang. The growth process appears very slow. The harshness of the lessons implies the strength of our attachments to our frailties.
 
Here in 2011 we poison the land long-term in trade for immediate money. We put far more time and energy into war than into reconciliation. And massive drug trades deplete lives while fueling nations.
 
Yet still, the beauty that is humanity's promise continues to shine through, often on an individual basis. There are hundreds of thousands of people reaching out to others in some form of service. There are innumerable prayer groups with their understanding of spirituality. And there are still great teachers who continue to inspire us.
 
May we sit this Sunday for the beauty we all imbue. May we sit for the beauty of being given the opportunity to learn the lessons. May we sit for each other in this sojourn on this Earth.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
