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 January 26th, 2020

Hello everyone, the word 'fervent' is an adjective which refers to having or displaying a passionate intensity. It's archaic meaning is 'hot, burning, or glowing' and in Latin it means boiling.

Now let's consider the phrase 'fervent prayer.' It's the intensity of prayer which Padre Pio, Saint Francis of Assisi, the modern Tom Sawyer, and many other great prophets employed while doing their spiritual work. It has been described as the condition in which, for the person praying, nothing exists but the actual prayer itself.

May we sit this Sunday toward fervent prayer. There are many, many circumstances in the world which could benefit from that degree of effort, including Mother Earth herself. May we meet each other there.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard
