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 September 2nd, 2012

Hello to all, as the Earth reminds us of the need to maintain a minimum level of 'spiritual glue' to keep things in balance, and politics shows us how much we can miss by, may we sit this Sunday for TLC; Truth, Love, and Courage. May our inner peace be alive that we may share.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, the conscious mind alone cannot grasp the depth of spirituality. So an update of Rene Descartes' famous quotation might be; "Cogito Ergo Oops" - I think, therefore I miss the point. There is a necessarily irrational, intuitive aspect which comes from the higher Self, and through the greater Heart, which beckons us onward, asks us to be our best.

As this election year stumbles crazily along, seeming to hold money as a final measure of life, our 'best' becomes important. Expressing the higher Self and greater Heart in the physical dimension is our promise and our saving grace.

May we sit this Sunday for the fulfillment of that promise, the enactment of our saving grace. May we sit together with the One, for the Oneness which holds us all, that all may hold the One.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello to all, it has been said that with wisdom comes strength. To see a situation from a higher viewpoint, to grasp a larger perspective, as walked in the shoes of all, is to rise above pettiness and to bring about compassion. As we strive to see the world and all within it as players on a grand spiritual stage may we take our highest places, follow our greatest guidance. May we respond to our deepest desires of Love and bring them forward into this sometimes coarse physical world. May we assist in bringing to life the ancient saying, "As above, so below."

Thank you,

Richard

For Sunday August 12th, 2012

Hello all, as rampant shootings, terrorism, and various political carbuncles are reported in the media we do well to not become caught up in the maelstrom. To become caught up simply increases the mess at a time when higher vision is essential. The old saying 'forgiveness is the healer which sets you free' is a useful step in attaining that clearer sight. As noted in 'forgive them, for they know not what they do' people can be blinded by their own impulses, and in need of growth.

This Sunday may we find forgiveness for all who are lost, for those who seek, and also for our own missteps. May we be free to find that higher vision and follow it's Loving guidance in service to the world.

Thank you,

Richard

For Sunday August 5th, 2012

Hello all, everyone has the opportunity to be of service. "By the fruits of their labors ye will know them" is a fine yardstick. While businesses and politicians may squabble, an honest smile, a kind word, a helping hand, or a prayer still assists the growth of humanity. May we sit this Sunday for those fruits, for that honest outward loving which brings about fulfillment and is a healing guide to all.

Thank you,

Richard
