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 23rd, 2012

Hello all, according to Cynthia Bourgeault in her excellent book "The Wisdom Way of Knowing", when the Light of the Creative Forces shines through humanity into the physical world, pure Love is broken down into qualities of trust, courage, honesty, integrity, compassion, faith, humor, and love of others. These are sometimes called 'the fruits of their labors' when someone is looking to another for guidance.

Those with spiritual aspirations must be as clean stained-glass windows so we may project our personal colors and shapes without diluting or polluting the original loving intentions of the Light.

May we sit this Sunday for such clarity in our political leaders, in the world at large, and most of all within ourselves, for the Light we share is only bright when our hearts are clear.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello to all, a few of us on this list will be in Sedona, AZ this Sunday. Sedona has been a place of spiritual connection for thousands of years. As always, we will seek to deepen our own connections on this trip. May all of us join in on Sunday, from wherever we are, for a greater 'knowing' of our own Oneness with that which is Above, with all who share this journey on Earth, and with the Earth itself.

Thank you,

Richard

Tom's physical birthday today...

Hello all, I was just reminded that today was Tom Sawyer's physical birthday. Let's give him an astral shout-out of congratulations for all he did while he was here when we connect tonight.

And a big loving thank you to all of you as well,

Richard

For Sunday September 9th, 2012

Hello all, from humanity's point of view the flow of Truth, Beauty, and Healing all start with the mind, turn toward them and ye shall receive. Looking from the other direction, from the point of view of spirituality, the mind is the last obstacle in the way of delivering Truth, Beauty, and Healing. It is the desire of spirituality to assist humanity, to Love us. Our free-will minds, so easily wrapped up in material desires, are the road block.

This is rarely more evident than in a political season when the media is filled with stories of childish grasping. Powerful people, wielding massive amounts of money, struggle desperately to earn even more power and influence. Might that be a definition of a lost soul?

May we sit this Sunday for those who may be lost and unknowing, for those who are lost and searching, and for ourselves as we seek our way home.

Thank you,

Richard
