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 January 24th, 2016

Hello everyone, here is a true story. Chloe C. planned her suicide with all the detail an 11 year old can muster. She gathered what she needed, had her reasons, and decided upon a time. Her saving grace was that her parents would often play a dinner table game of "What would you do if...?" wherein the topics were wide ranging and all viewpoints considered. 

It was this familiar ease of communication which created a sense of safety and trust so that her courage was enough. She told her parents of her plans and how she was feeling. She is now on the long and overall upward road of healing.

May we sit this evening not only for her and all others in such dire circumstances, but for the creation of trust and safety in this world. May we find them within. May we have the courage and strength to bring them out. May we in the world be more at ease with each other. 

Thank you,

Richard
