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 12th, 2015

Hello all, it may not be true that our greatest fear is the fear of death. Our greatest fear may be that of not being loved. A person may face death a number of times before they actually die. But the fear of not being loved can be an ongoing thing, endlessly warping a person's life.

As we look at the world today what do we see which may indicate a lack of love in people's lives? Nearly everything; from addictions, to obsessions, to misunderstanding wealth and power as happiness; from racism and religious intolerance to atrocities enacted upon other humans due to an attitude or belief system; we are astonishingly creative at what we're capable of in the absence of love.

Yet we have barely begun to touch what we're capable of when our hearts are full.

May we sit this evening for those full hearts. May we sit for those who are here and those yet to come. And may we sit for the sharing of the love within our own hearts this day.

Thank you,

Richard
