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 28th, 2024

Hello good and loving people. We are told that thought is a product of memory and thinking is merely the recombining of thoughts. This leaves us in a state of recycling; learning from our past while waiting for new experiences to broaden our cache of memories from which to draw more thinking.

But there was a time when each of us had no memories and therefore no thoughts to think. In that time we simply experienced, openly and innocently. Perhaps that is why baby's laughter is so compellingly contagious. We can tell it is honest and pure.

May we sit this evening for that honesty and purity which needs no thought. Despite the difficulty of explaining through language that which is without language, may we make the attempt. Now forget all this and just go.

Blessings,

Richard
