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 23rd, 2015

Hello everyone, our cultural fascination with impressions of strength and certainty, often out of a need for comfort, has ironically become a great weakness. 

Imagine a conversation where people tended to say, "I agree with ______" or, "I have experienced _____" or, "My understanding is _____." They would, in effect, be weaving a thread of their lives into the fabric of humanity.

However, we are often so proud to say, "I am a _______" and in doing that we create divisions, separations along national lines, personal viewpoints, opinionated stances, and an endless array of rapidly evolving fringes. With each such declaration we move further away from the awareness of Oneness.

May we sit this evening for such awareness in our own lives. May we recognize signs of separation in others. May we find that which will reach out and heal.

Thank you,

Richard
