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 May 12th, 2024

Hello to all and a special 'thank you' to all mothers out there.
 
Mothers' Day, the plural spelling, began in the 1870s by Julia Ward Howe as a reaction to the carnage of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. Currently seen as a day to be nice to your mother, it originally was an attempt for women to gain political power after losing fathers, husbands, sons, and brothers in the 'mutual murder' of war. Even those who came home were scared in mind and body.

We know there are better ways of resolving conflict.
May we sit this evening for open hearts, for reconciliation, for the courage to explore new ways. May we be led in our personal lives. May humanity move toward One.

Thank you all,

Richard
