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 June 7th, 2020

Hello everyone, we're getting a front row seat for the unfolding conflict between those who believe in external power belonging in the hands of a few select people or groups and those who are beginning to recognize the emergence of authentic power, the power of the human heart. 

Looting, rioting, para-military groups, and heavy handed police tactics all fall under the heading of 'external power' – the reliance upon any form of force which comes from outside of ourselves, whether it be political, financial, military, material based, or psychological manipulation.

Authentic power is the power of the human heart. Authentic power seeks connection, communication, empathy, understanding, and tolerance. It moves us toward Oneness.

May we sit this evening to see ourselves clearly. May we recognize our own human foibles, have patience with others, find a path to full connection, and finally – realize there are no 'others'.

Thank you all,

Richard
