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 February 5th, 2017

Hello everyone, can we treat others with kindness and forbearance even when we drastically disagree with them? Well, Pope Francis says our relationship with the Creator can be seen in our relationship to creation which is to say, how we treat others is a measure of our love.
  
In these times of strife and acrimony can we see how the opinions of the mind are different from the knowledge of the heart? Can we give priority to our 'heart of hearts' rather than to our limited thinking?

If we can then we can build a future. If we cannot, we will copy the past. The choice lies in our hands.

May we sit this evening for our inner courage, our inner peace, and may wisdom come forth.

Thank you all,

Richard
