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 September 17th, 2017

Hello everyone, we are exposed to a lot of strife in this world. We find far too many opportunities to engage in the anger of it's 'us' against 'them' or the paranoia of 'they' are against 'us'. This mangled frenzy of 'divisiveness above all' was sorely put to the test with hurricanes Harvey and Irma. Sadly, it too often takes a natural disaster for people to wake up to their inner heart and reach out a helping hand yet – it did happen. 

Huge masses of people worked together to help out neighbors and strangers alike before, during, and after the storms. 

This is where we find the real truth of humanity, in our natural compassion. Such disasters are not designed to be 'tests'. The Earth and the weather have to do their thing, after all. But we can see it as having passed a test of our innate spirituality.

May we sit this Sunday in gratitude for our actual truth. May we remember it well into the future.

Thank you all,

Richard
