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 September 3, 2023

Hello everyone, as I'll be away at the IANDS conference this weekend I'm sending out Sunday's meditation early. I hope I'm not catching you unawares.

In the world of performance clowning failure is seen as funny, try to take the top off of a can of raisins and the bottom drops out, spilling raisins all over the floor. This leaves the clown in the unenvious, but hilarious, position of trying to gather up the raisins without stepping on them. The clown's problems and creative solutions are delightful, because we are observing them from a safe distance.

And, we can learn to see problems in our daily lives from a safe distance as well. That safe distance is knowing that we are eternal spiritual beings who are, at the moment, caught up in the 'raisin gathering' of material life. Not to say that everything we meet in life will be hilarious, but that we will come through it in some fashion.
 
May we sit this coming Sunday for the fortitude to face our lives knowing there are some very serious 'raisin spills' to be handled, and that there is always an end game.
 
Bless you all,

Richard
