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 March 27th, 2016

Hello everyone, there is a little known ecological truth that says 'you can't plant a forest.' If you were to precisely measure everything that is growing in a section of forest then tried to recreate it in a nearby field by planting all the same things in the same places, it wouldn't work. A major percentage would fail to flourish and you'd end up with a skeletal representation of the original. 

Perhaps the same is true of our spiritual growth. Just as forests develop naturally over time from grassland, to scrub brush, to saplings, to mature trees with a complex undergrowth, we also grow into our spiritual completion. 

In this season of rebirth and resurrection may we celebrate this process. May we make loving use of all that has come before. May this lifetime bring fullness. 

Thank you,

Richard
