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 28th, 2016

Hello everyone, it has often been said that extreme times call for extreme measures. Or stated in other words, the more intense the difficulty we find ourselves facing, the more intently we must search for a loving response. Whether we're staring at an unwanted election outcome or a life-changing medical issue, our spiritual responsibility is to respond from an honestly loving intention. 

To do so requires a deep self-honesty and a true compassion for others. The ability to love outwardly - no matter what - rather than become absorbed in and distracted by our own internal processes is essential.

May we sit this Sunday for the strength and courage to see our own frailties clearly, and set them aside. May we sit for the ability to focus intently on the depth of compassion, and allow its true expression. May we ask that Divine will be done within us and outside of us. And may we find the Grace which carries us through.

Reverently submitted,

Richard
