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 February 11th, 2024

Hello and a gracious good day to you all. The heart wave is much more than a method of communication. It also contains wisdom, intelligence, empathy, and connection. Like an old fashioned party line telephone, or a Zoom call of the heart, if we could all be on at once it would change the world.
 
Connecting to the heart wave comes from intense listening, with everything you've got. To pay absolutely full attention with our full selves, without biases, comparisons, attitudes, beliefs, judgements, or any kind of prejudice, to another person is rare. The operations of the mind have to stay completely out of it as we observe fully, with complete freedom.

May we sit this evening with that complete freedom. May we simply observe, even if it's only as a practice. Even if there's no apparent thing to observe, observe anyway. You might be surprised.

With patient love for us all,

Richard
