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 April 24th, 2022

Hello to all, it's understood by many that we on Earth are all involved in a remarkable spiritual transformation of humanity. Those who are actively pursuing a more spiritual lifestyle are forging a way forward, in a manner which befits them. Those who cling tightly to personal desires of lust and power are demonstrating the ultimate fruitlessness of material pursuits.

The material side sells fear, anger, etc., while the spiritual side may experience frustration. It's important to not be caught up in any of that but to see the struggle as a needed cleansing. Horrifying as it is, humanity apparently refuses to learn in any other way.

May we sit this evening as loving observers of the ultimate struggle. May our own flare-ups of anger, frustration, and such be as gusts of wind; rocking our world in the moment, but passing on unattached. May we find that inner peace which is not fought for but simply allowed to be.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello and a gracious Easter to all of you. As we've been told, "Be a light unto oneself. Being a light unto yourself carries a marvelous sense of freedom – because there is no shadow in that light."

In this season of resurrection, of buds on branches and chirping birds, may we rekindle the light within.
 
This Sunday, may illusions be seen through, no matter how staunch. May the shadows of sorrows and regrets lighten, withering to nill. And may distractions be released in our all-encompassing light.

Thank you all for your entire lives,

Richard

Hello all, love is, loving gestures are never wasted, hugs can hold forever, smiles can linger a lifetime – love is.

In this world of temporal experience love holds true – whether we are aware of it or not.

May we sit this evening with the intention to release that which blocks us. Whatever we may achieve or not, that loving self-intention will be. It will hold till we are ready, as our loving intentions upon others will hold also. The world needs our love, and at some point the time will be ripe for fruition.
 
Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, E=mc2 says that at the core of all matter is the energy it was made from, just as at the core of ourselves is the energy we were made from – in His image. The releasing of matter into energy can be explosive, just as the releasing of ourselves into spiritual energy can be explosive, but it can also be incremental.
 
May we sit Sunday evening for the awareness of, and connection to, our spiritual core. May touching the Love we find there uplift us. May holding that Love uplift the world.

Thank you all,

Richard
