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 30th, 2018

Hello to all, Barbara Whitfield has reminded me of a couple of sayings from St. Francis of Assisi, "When we pray to God we must be seeking nothing – nothing." And, "We should seek not so much to pray, but to become prayer."

The purity and intensity of such prayer is striking.

May we sit this evening for 'nothing.' May that which we strive for on the human level become folded into the experience of a higher existence. May we 'become prayer' itself.

Thank you,

Richard
