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 March 17th, 2024

Greetings and (setting aside that he ended the nature-based spirituality of Ireland) a gracious St. Patrick's Day to all. Given all that has, and is, changing in the world, let us look at the various areas of gratitude.
 
First and easiest is gratitude for what you have; shelter, food, clothing, friends, etc. All of these are fully worthy of your gratitude, but are external to you.
Next comes gratitude for your experiences; the warmth of the sun, the love of friends and family, the many wonderful moments of your life.
And then gratitude for what you are, for what got you through life thus far; the inner strength to face the problems you've encountered, the willingness to listen to inner guidance when unsure which way to go, gratitude for the insights you've gained, gratitude for your willingness to help others, for the incredible beauty you've brought to this world by just being in it.

May we sit tonight with the awareness of the absolute best of who we are and have been. There are many reasons to love who you are.

In reverence,

Richard
