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 February 24th, 2013

Hello to everyone, while watching PBS shows about school shootings the concepts of community and connections came up strongly. Largely unheralded in the past few years are the over 100 school shootings which were seriously planned but never occurred. These were avoided by students having a close, trusting relationship with the adults in their environments.

Also, there are communities which are known for having long-lived residents. Here again the main component seems to be community connections and friendships.

This Sunday may we sit for the types of connections which enhance the health of communities. May we sit for friendship, compassion, listening, and sharing. May we sit for a closer human family. May we sit for others, and ourselves, as we continue to move toward the One.

Thank you,

Richard
