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 October 2nd, 2016

Hello everyone, ten years ago a gunman walked into a small Amish schoolhouse in rural Pennsylvania and began shooting children, finally killing himself. The shooter's funeral was a very small, private affair until a large number of Amish appeared. The Amish formed a partial circle around the funeral scene then began emanating love.

Whatever anger, fear, or retribution they may have felt was set aside in recognition of the abject pain experienced by all, and the much needed healing power of love. While no one would ever wish for such devastation in their community the relationships formed in the healing afterward are priceless to those involved. 

May we sit this Sunday in search of where we need healing. May we forgive. May we offer love. Whatever our current position and attitude, may our future be brighter than our past.

Respectfully,

Richard
