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 July 28th, 2024

Hello to one and all. Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' is depicted as a triangle with five levels through which a person progresses to the top; biological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualisation. But it is incomplete. In reality there is another mirror-image triangle balanced atop of it. The five stages in the bottom triangle depict psychological development and are inwardly focused, for personal growth. Upon reaching self-actualisation the person becomes more outwardly focused, striving to create those same levels of personal growth for others.

It looks like a balancing act, but the results are magic.

May we sit this evening being aware of the responsibilities of loving outwardly, and of the beauty waiting to be created therein.
 
Bless you all in all you do,

Richard
