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, November 13th, 2011

Hello all, keeping your heart open while staring straight into a difficulty can be a path to growth. Watching the various wars, revenges, mis-deeds, greeds, and difficulties of today's world can be heart-rending. While turning away may provide a needed respite, it leaves the long run wanting. Whether in our individual lives or on the world stage the truth holds, "The heart is the only thing which works better after being broken." 
 
If we have the courage to see ourselves fearlessly, with an unwavering honesty, we find answers within. Our breaking or broken hearts will show us truth, our truths. We each have our own. It is ours to hold and cherish as a trusted guide.
 
May we sit this Sunday for that graceful, courageous process of seeing beyond anger, recriminations, and justifications. May such Graces live within us. May such Graces live in the world.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
