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 2nd, 2023

Hello all, we humans spend a lot of time focusing on peace, no matter the turmoil we're in. This of course is admirable. However, J. Krishnamurti tells us that peace itself is a by-product, not an end in itself. A forced peace is not really peace, it's simply a withholding of aggressions, and doomed to be temporary.
 
True peace is a by-product of something much greater, something from within each of us where there is no aggression to begin with, either against ourselves or others.

May we sit this Sunday for the courage to see what arises when we are willing to let the false power of aggressions fade. We may need the courage to be vulnerable, the strength to honestly reassess ourselves, and the willingness to learn a new way.

Blessings on us all,

Richard
