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 29th, 2018

Hello to everyone, scientists have long looked at forests and seen the tallest trees as being the strongest, masterful winners in a competition for survival. But forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has proven a new understanding – that trees have complex social lives and harmoniously assistive survival techniques – trees cooperate.

The tendency to project our psychological mindset onto nature has tripped us up but has also exposed a human frailty; a belief in the necessity of strength. As Gary Zukav wrote in "The Seat of the Soul" the desire for 'external power' is born of fear, while 'authentic power' is a matter of the heart.

May we sit this evening for the only true power in the universe, the power of love. May we sit for the insight to see our own illusions and projections. May we sit for the individual recognition and fullness of 'authentic power' to be realized on Earth.

Thank you all,

Richard
