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 June 17th, 2012

Hello again, the song Bonny Portmore, sung by Loreena McKennitt, tells of the selling of the great oak trees of Ireland on the property of Portmore Castle near Lough Beg, to the English military that they might build ships. Over centuries the oak and ash trees were cut down and sold, even the Great Oak of Portmore. It wasn't until it was too late and the trees were all gone that the people asked, "What have we done?"

This lesson reverberates today as we search for resources to be turned into money, and support our life styles. What have we done with our time on Earth? How far is it appropriate to go? Might we find a formula other than constant taking? May we sit for these questions to be brought to mind, to our hearts, and for guidance in finding the answers.

Thank you,

Richard
