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 1st, 2017

Hello to everyone, a living caterpillar wraps itself in a cocoon and dissolves into a messy white goo before emerging as a butterfly. There is nothing about the goo which suggests a butterfly. However, if you closely examine an adult caterpillar you'll find the beginnings of a set of wings just beneath its skin. So it sometimes is with us. 

We each have what we need inside to take flight but often have to go through a transformation first; minds need to expand, and most importantly, hearts need to open. The white goo is a messy but essential step. 

May we sit this Sunday with an acceptance of whatever 'white goo' we may find in our lives. May we take comfort in the wings within. May we see the wings in others.

Thank you,

Richard
