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 July 13th, 2014

Hello all, scientists say that quantum mechanics is the most successful theory ever found, that it has never failed to predict accurately. And, quantum mechanics tells us there is nothing that will move from a state of probability into physical existence without being observed. 

So there are two questions. Who or what did the observing before we came along? And, with more personal responsibility, what do we focus upon in our hearts and minds that then comes into being?

Let's trust that the original observer is still doing well. Let's also trust that we can do well. May we sit on the 13th for that which is in our hearts and minds. May we observe ourselves well and create lovingly.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, I'll be away from my computer for a bit so you're going to get a bunch of these in quick succession. Good luck!

It's a common human trait to see what we want to see, or what's comfortable and familiar, or what we've been trained to see. Even scientists, those bastions of logical inquiry, when they found that the speed of light kept changing they decided to redefine the concept of measurement so that it would be the constant they wanted it to be.

So the question is, how do we see clearly? Can we get outside of ourselves and attain 'clear seeing', the meaning of clairvoyance? Thousands of years of seers and mystics say it's possible. 

May we sit this Sunday for clear sight. May we move beyond our typical limitations and find ... who knows? May we find all in accordance with the Light.

Thank you,

Richard

For Sunday June 22nd, 2014

Hello all, there is a plan, a design, a spiritual archetype for all humanity, it has been prophesied for thousands of years and will be fulfilled. The final outcome is set but the timing and exact path to it is created moment by moment in each of our lives by our free will and the effects of chaos.

We can see the effects of prayer in our lives yet not realize its fullness. The same is true of our thoughts, attitudes, and actions. There is more going on behind the physical scene than we can comprehend. 

This Sunday, June 22nd, may we sit for the archetype to come through. May our thoughts, words, and actions come from our hearts and may our attitudes align with those above.

With grateful thank you's,

Richard

Hello all, this is early because I'll be at the Southeastern Spiritual Conference for the coming week. It's wonderful to reconnect with old friends each year, many of them are on this list. There's something about being face to face and sharing a hug which email cannot convey. 

So let us be thankful this Sunday for that which a physical world provides. The love, the warmth, and even our struggles are all here for our greater learning. May we bring our greatest love in and take our greatest lessons out.

With thanks for all,

Richard

Hello all, Horace McKee and Susan Yoakum are donating time and Reiki at an Episcopalian retreat center this Saturday. The center is focused upon helping people who are dealing with HIV. As with anyone who is in a state of dis-ease, it always creates an opportunity for others to respond lovingly, to fulfill an obligation to love unconditionally.

Even though Sunday evening is the end of the weekend, may we send energy to the attendees, support and appreciation to Horace and Susan, and may we answer such calls from our hearts whenever they may occur in our lives.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello all, David Bennett, Tim Bourke, and Barbara Whitfield await our intentions this evening while a gentle rain plays with the leaves in my backyard this morning. May the nodding agreements of the leaves bolster the loving nourishments we will give.

Thank you all,

Richard
