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 8th, 2018

Hello everyone, mystics of many stripes have spent thousands of years promoting the transcendence of the body as a means of personal spiritual fulfillment. Transcendence is offered as an escape from suffering and endless cycles of reincarnation. And, those who love outwardly may wonder why we're here during such a time of earthly turmoil. 

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama offers this simple, compassionate, and ultimately responsible answer, "The purpose of life is not to transcend the body, but to embody the transcendent." In other words, we are here to bring every bit of love, joy, compassion, and creativity that we can attain from seemingly other-worldly spirituality into this dense, physical, earthly life.

May we sit this Sunday for the spiritual fulfillment of our lives in this era. May we bring forth all that we attain. May humanity know its source.

Thank you all,

Richard
