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.

Hello everyone, If you've watched the latest Ripple Effect video: https://youtu.be/dtVwqJGeyO8  
where we are talking to Krista Gorman who had an NDE over 20 years ago, you'll hear her say the phrase, "I'm a pretty powerful creator" at the 40 minute mark. The look on her face at that moment tells you she knows the truth of that from actual experience.

What does she create? When faced with people or situations which could benefit from spiritual upliftment – she sends love to that person or event, and creates an improved outcome from what it otherwise would have been.

Doing such things is her purpose in life.
 
So for Sunday night it behooves us to find something which is either a) difficult for us, or b) difficult for others, or c) a person with whom we are having personal trouble. Let's each give Love to the personal difficulty we have found.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to everyone, it was 43 years ago today that Tom Sawyer had his Near Death Experience, in 1978. He was laying under his pick-up truck adjusting the transmission linkage when the entire driveway collapsed due to an air pocket beneath it. He was crushed to only three inches thick for over 15 minutes. 

His experience in the spiritual realm has changed the lives of many since then. This Heart-Session Meditation list is an outgrowth of the times he would ask his friends to sit and 'give energy' to one thing or another over his remaining years on Earth. He finally 'died for good' at the end of April, 2006. 

When explaining spiritual laws or situations he often said, "Don't take my word for it. Find out for yourself." He didn't mean to go out and have an NDE. He meant to go meditate, train your mind to be able to find spiritual answers, learn the truth yourself. 

So tonight, let us meditate for our meditation. May we find a deeper truth. May we find the deeper answers we all need.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello everyone, while listening to Lono Ho'ala speak <hunawisdom.com> he mentioned this – 'pain induces the gift of humility.'
 
Humanity has long been caught up in the arrogance of believing our own thinking or of prioritizing our feelings. But without the balancing influence of wisdom, thinking and feeling are rudderless.

Tonight, as Covid 19 brings a degree of humility to the world, may we view our thoughts and our feelings through the lens of wisdom. May we learn from the results of our own actions. May we bring our most divine lessons into the world.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello again to all, as we understand it everything which exists in the material world began as spiritual impulses, vibrations in spirit and desire in the soul. Responding to these impulses we bring them into the mind, transforming them into thought. Then, by degrees of effort, these thoughts are brought into physical actions and things.

Whether we judge the result as positive or negative the process is the same. It behooves us to choose wisely as we bring these impulses into physicality.
 
May we sit this Sunday for the discernment and self-honesty to choose lovingly. May we view our choices with reverence for everything they may affect. May the world benefit from our efforts.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, here I am furiously trying to get this out in the next 5 minutes. So, I'm stealing a thought which came up in the Ripple Effect video which we've just finished. Can I blame Mike McGinnis for my lateness? Nope, I ought to have done this earlier. Here we go:

Imagine the experience of being loved, loved all the way down to the cellular level – and even if it's only by a passing thought from someone. Do that for people, no matter what opinion you may be challenged to form of them. Try doing it for each and every person you meet for some matter of time, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, just try. See what it brings to you right then, without looking for anything in return, and in your life-review you'll see what it brought to them.

For this evening, sit for the strength to release what gets in the way of doing the above.

Thank you all,

Richard
