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 December 26th, 2021

Hello everyone, on Christmas Eve, 1968, there was a first which was physically out of this world. It was the photograph which came to be known around the world as Earthrise. As stated by then United States ambassador Adlai Stevenson in 1965, "We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft."
We are still dependent upon Mother Earth for our survival. Our difficulties have changed little as we still engage in seemingly human frailties, but our awareness has changed a lot. Our love, is still needed.
May we sit Sunday evening for the global awareness which will bring us closer to home, our home – in our hearts – and in the hearts of all.
Thank you,
Richard

Hello everyone and nearly Merry Christmas, as we celebrate 'the one' whose spiritual job is not yet finished let us work toward the Oneness which is within our reach. It is a connective process:

Step one; get the hands busy, find or join an activity which can be done with a group. 
Step two; the community spirit which is built during the activity is the engagement of the hearts of those joining in. 
Step three; it is the engagement of people's hearts which changes the brain, thereby the thinking, and thereby the world.

May we sit this Sunday in the unity which is promised but not yet attained. May we reach out and make the connections within our reach. May Thy Will be done in all things.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, may we sit this Sunday for those who have been involved in the Quad-State tornado; Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky. May Divine Will be done.

Thank you all,

Richard
