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 8th, 2012

Hello all, National Public Radio (NPR) has been asking people for the past year to try to put their thoughts about race relations into only 6 words. The responses following the Trayvon Martin case in Florida have swamped them as national attention has been focused in that arena. Here's one response with the author taking poetic liberty, expanding it to 6 words at a time.

"Our Human Family: 6 by 6.
Sad that anger and hatred wins.
Are we better than our anger?
See self honestly, see others tolerantly.
Who will throw first stone today?
Do unto others... allow their life.
See others equanimously - so far away..."

May we sit this Sunday for equanimity, to see the world equanimously, to attain the beauty of a loving non-judgement, and the wisdom of proper action.

Thank you,

Richard
