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 15th, 2019

Hello everyone, a sebaceous cyst can be growing beneath the surface of skin without causing discomfort. It can grow quite large before some discomfort is noticed. It's when the cyst begins spewing it's contents that it really gets attention. Ironically, this messiness is an essential piece of the healing process.

A similar healing process may be at work in our society today. We are seeing a lot of messy, disgusting spew-age as old angers, frustrations, and biases are brought to the surface and being exposed. 

Our job is to acknowledge the expression and be the anti-biotic. We won't be able to 'Pollyanna' our way out of this. It will take work as our own angers, frustrations, and biases are triggered. Again, we must acknowledge the process and apply the anti-biotic of self-honesty and spiritual growth. 

May we sit tonight for the strength and courage to face others gracefully. May we face our own shortcomings gracefully. May Grace be attained and endure.

Thank you all,

Richard
