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 9th, 2016

Hello everyone, a sad pitfall of our current climate of polarization is the adoption of an attack and defend mentality, as if division and control were the highest callings of humanity. Yet ancient spiritual teachings, from the Hawaiian reconciliation and forgiveness of Ho'oponopono to the Jewish reminder to put your own house in order when trying to save the world, tell us that the future is an inside job.

Whatever we find disturbing in the world can also, with deep enough self-honesty, be found within us – and that is where we have the greatest influence.

May we sit this evening for the ability to see ourselves clearly, without bias or justification. May we identify that which bears release. May we be the change we wish to see.

Thank you all,

Richard
