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 26th, 2021

Hello to everyone, honest human connections are essential for a society to survive, while strongly held opinions are easily divisive. Opinions are things of the mind, tempting to have and hold but quickly fading to unimportance in the light of Love. Connections on the other hand shine brighter in Love, becoming the building blocks of Oneness.

And which is it that humanity needs to move forward?

May we greet those we meet and those we already know with kindness and the deepest truth. May we honor the connective tissues which hold us in Love. May we find a clear path through worldly tumult.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all of you, according to Einstein, "When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness." So the universe rolls along with all the parts vibrating at their various frequencies.
 
However, when two or more purposely vibrate at the same frequency their amplitude (the strength of their vibration) is increased. This is the scientific description of 'when two or more are gathered in my name' indicating that group prayers are powerful.

May we sit this evening in group prayer for the goodness of humanity to come through. May we learn our lessons fully. May we choose a higher way.

Thank you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello everyone, all this week we've been remembering those lost on September 11, 2001. The memories help us to remain aware of what some humans are willing to do to other humans when their thoughts are fueled by angers, fears, and hatred.
 
There is a better way.

May we use this opportunity to pray for the upliftment of humanity, beyond our frailties and self-deceptions. May we open ourselves to the subtle callings of the higher realms. May we have the courage to see our own foibles and the strength to move beyond them.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello and a gracious good day to all of you. The spiritual transformation we're working toward is one of Love, of course. So, how do we get there amidst the frustrations, frailties, and foibles of humanity? As Ellyn Dye has said, "Some people are meant to be the sand in your oyster." That irritation is the motivation for building a pearl of Love.
 
As we are aware, Love is the only way through and out of the situation we're in, true Love, as unconditional as we can achieve.

So, for this Sunday evening, let us choose someone or some situation which causes you irritation. Let us build a pearl of Love within ourselves for that person or event. It may not change them, but it will definitely change us. And that is how the world is changed.

Bless you all,
