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 April 27th, 2014

Hello all. Aleppo in Syria is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. The current violent conflict there is heart-wrenching to hear about. Sadly there are still people willing to trade human life for power and control. 

May we sit this evening for Divine Light to shine down upon them all.

Thank you,

Richard

A mildly embarrassing correction for Sunday April 20th, 2014

Barbara Whitfield has just told me that the race is on Monday. I feel a little goofy but I'm very glad to know it. Thanks Barbara.

Hello all, may we sit this week for everyone involved with Monday's Boston Marathon. May the 50,000 runners, their support teams, and all of the spectators come together for the enjoyment of each other, all that comes with companionship, and the beauty of the day. 

With a more timely reverence,

Richard

Fwd: For Sunday April 13th, 2014

Hello everyone, we are all involved in an immense process; the realm of the infinite manifesting itself into the finite. Each in our own irreplaceable way, by the fruits of our labors, plays a role. 

May we take the time in the opportunities presented to plant seeds that our fruits may be harvested. May we sit this Sunday for our completeness in this process, in the world at large and the world within.

Thank you all,

Richard

For Sunday April 5th, 2014

Hello all, it's been said that anxiety is a measure of the distance between you and your higher self. While our lower selves worry and fret, our higher selves see a larger more loving view of us and how we fit in the world. 

May we sit this Sunday for that distance to diminish. May we be in touch and see ourselves from that greater perspective.

Lovingly proposed,

Richard
