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 May 4th, 2014

Hello all, for those among us who may have ever done something which caused pain in another; in the course of time we come to a point of full awareness of what we've done and the fullness of its effects, then there is a deep sadness. It is an intensely painful sadness which is not endless but is immeasurable in its depth. At that moment we would do anything to set things right. Likewise, when someone has injured us they will also, at some point, go through a similar painful intensity. 

These situations are a natural outcome of increasing compassion. It ain't easy, but it's one of the greatest teaching experiences of life. 

May we sit this Sunday for the willingness to be open to such compassion. May we sit for fullness, awareness, and the realization that we truly are all One. 

With reverence,

Richard
