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 July 23rd, 2017

Hello everyone, in times of turmoil and anxiety it's wise to remember the ancient saying, "When you walk toward the Light, the shadow of your burdens will always fall behind you." And, there are a number of techniques to help you walk toward the Light.

*Belly Breathing – 'fight or flight' responses cause chest breathing, belly breathing can be calming.
*Gratitude List – an accounting of things you are grateful for can help refocus your attention.
*Third Eye Mantra – focusing on the third eye area while repeating the Serenity Prayer, or the Lord's Prayer, or Om Mani Padme Hum, or whatever you find that works to direct your attention spiritually upward.

These things, and others, work to strengthen our connection to our Higher Selves. They also disconnect us from the residue of old fears and angers which the subconscious mind clings to. 

May we sit this Sunday for the original meaning of the word 'Amen' which was, "I commit." May we commit ourselves to improving our spiritual connection and thereby reap the contentment and satisfaction which comes from 'walking toward the Light'.

Amen,

Richard
