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 January 12th, 2014

Hello everyone, as our culture launches itself forward into the thrill of new technologies we would do well to look back and learn from what's been left in our wake. With an estimated 300,000 people being affected by the chemical spill into the Elk River near Charleston, WV it behooves us to give energy to the needs of those people, and to the river as well. It also behooves us to be aware of the implied lesson; it is entirely possible for our culture to drown in its own garbage. 

May we sit this Sunday for 'cultural wisdom', may an all encompassing compassion be prized over personal desires of the self. May we attend to those in need and also tread lightly upon our home, the Earth.

Thank you,

Richard
