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 August 20th, 2023

Let us start by wishing a gracious good day to all.
 
And now, being human we have our material and psychological needs and desires. Some are essential for maintaining our existence on Earth, some are not. We have varying degrees of attachment to all of them. If we could drop them all, even for a minute, humanity would be transformed.
 
However, our attachments are extremely strong. To drop all of them, even for a moment, is to launch ourselves into a vast unknown. Therein lies the problem: strong attachments VS the vast unknown. We don't even know how to let them go.

May we sit Sunday evening and take a chance. Can we release everything and simply be? Whether we make it or not, it is always worth the effort as honest effort is always considered righteous. Let's give it a go.

Bless you all,

Richard
