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 December 8th, 2013

Hello all, it may be that the distance between ourselves and Divinity can be measured by the compassion in our hearts. Our thoughts and treatment of others; how we see and treat the world; and our thoughts and treatment of our own selves, is our yardstick. 

This is easily seen in the life and writings of Nelson Mandela. In spite of all circumstances he refused to give in to his lesser self. It's a good lesson for the world.

May we sit this Sunday for that lesson. May it be applied in our lives, in our hearts, and therefore in the world at large. 

Peaceful blessings too all,

Richard
