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 April 21st, 2019

Hello everyone, Charles Whitfield has defined humility as the willingness to learn more about ourselves, or in other words, the willingness to have doubt. Absolute surety can be a self-made prison as we search our way forward in this life. It can stop us from seeing and close us off to what is and what may be. Absolute surety can be the end of openness and wonder.

None of us can know the full truth. The true full truth is beyond human consumption. The human body cannot contain it. Yet it must be moved toward. 

May we sit this evening for the willingness to see ourselves clearly, without the obstruction of surety. May we trust in a higher good. May we reach out to touch that which cannot be seen, which can only be known in the realm of the heart.

Thank you all,

Richard
