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 January 30th, 2022

Hello to all, it has been said that not everything you face can be changed – but, to change anything at all, you must first face it.

That which comes to mind during the quiet of meditation is not our enemy. It is our indicator, our yardstick of acceptance – acceptance of ourselves. What comes to mind can be seen as the self-entertainment of an untrained mind. Note it and gently set it aside. When it returns, note it and again gently set it aside. It is not our goal to subdue it, fight it, or suppress it. Our goal is to simply be quiet.
 
May we sit this Sunday for the quietude which is our birthright. May our busy minds release their grip on the world. May we find that which is on the other side of activity.
 
Thank you all,

Richard
