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 August 16th, 2015

Hello everyone, in this time of political rancor, social strife, religious intolerance, and inflexible personal attitudes, it may help to realize the depth of the lesson we're learning. Our lessons are clearly universal and well known, be kind and love one another. However, the manner in which we learn those lessons is entirely up to us. When we learn gently, lovingly, and therefore a bit more quickly, the path is simple and straight forward. But when the path is difficult, fraught with obstacles and hard choices, it paradoxically becomes richer. Reason - the more we've been through, the more we bring to the final result.

May we sit this Sunday for the wisdom to see the world lovingly. May we treat ourselves and others kindly, knowing we are all on a greater journey, knowing we are all One in the end.

Thank you,

Richard
