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.

I'll be away from Sunday June 9th to Tuesday June 18th, 2013...

Hello everyone, I'm sending out a bunch of these Heart-Session Meditations at once to fill in until I get back. I'll be at my sister's wedding and then down to the Southeastern Spiritual Conference. It's a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with family and friends and I'm really looking forward to all of it. Here we go...

Sunday, June 9th: Our culture has sought out ever more sensational forms of entertainment, both violent and voyeuristic. Looking back at 50 years of movies, TV and the media at large shows that people have been happy to indulge base desires for financial gain. Now, we often see these things acted out. The question comes to mind, "What are we promoting?" With each choice we make, whether voting, buying, sharing, speaking, or even thinking, we are promoting something. As the world has it's turmoil, may we sit for wisdom, may we sit for courage, may we sit for Divine guidance, for ourselves and others.

Tuesday, June 11th: We have Mary Ruth Dobbins, Vaughn Boone, and Pat Eby on the list for this day. I'll be with Vaughn and Mary Ruth on Tuesday. I'll let you know if they begin to glow...   :o)

Sunday, June 16th: God's Love for humanity differs from humanity's love for God. We have physical, emotional, and psychological limitations which come with being human. God simply Loves without limitation - without condition. The condition of the world is created by us. We create its texture by how we live upon it; by what is inside our hearts, by how we treat ourselves and others. We create and re-create our own little piece of the world daily, by our actions and attitudes. While there may be people and situations in the world with which we are uncomfortable and often disagree, if we are to follow the precedent, we are to Love. We are to Love in spite of ourselves. Under the heading of "As Above, So Below" may we sit this Sunday for that perfect Love, for the perfect expression of it upon this Earth.

Tuesday, June 18th: With love in our hearts we embrace Ceri Booth, Neidra Clark, and Mary Owens this week. We lift them as we are lifted.

Thank you all,

Richard
