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.

Sunday, March 19

For Sunday March 19th, 2023

Hello to everyone on this beautiful day. We are often of two motivations, that of the spiritual and that of the psychological, and they're not always in agreement. We clearly can trust the purely spiritual, but sometimes our psychological 'self talk' isn't as helpful as it might be.

Internal comments of;
"I don't think I can do this"
"I hope nothing else goes wrong"
"What if I screw it up, again?"
Can easily lead us away from satisfaction with ourselves, with others, and the possible completion of our tasks.

Taking a moment to put our hand on our hearts, maybe even tapping our chests, and saying;
"You've got this"
"It's ok, you're doing well"
"I'll get as much done as I can"
Can go a long way toward grounding us, putting us back in touch with who we really are, and allowing ourselves to move forward with more positive, relaxed attitudes.

May we sit this evening for such self-love. May it put our feet on the ground, and elevate our hearts.

Blessings on us all,

Richard
