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 May 24th, 2020

Hello to all of you, the pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff said that he could tell if he skipped even one day of practice; if he skipped two days of practice his critics could tell; and if he skipped three days of practice, his audience could tell. It may well be the same with prayer. 

It has been said that prayer consists of four parts, starting with:
Wonder – being in awe, humbled at the greatness, your mind and heart opened
Appreciation – thankfulness, gratitude for lessons and for what is
Forgiveness – humility, the sense of at-one-ment, desire to make things right again
Petition – to request, to ask for, whether for self or others

We focus on Sundays and Tuesdays, but let us also give some time each day to these things. May we be the change we wish to see.

Thank you all,

Richard
