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 August 18th, 2024

Hello beautiful people. The thing is, during meditation, to become aware of what our brain is doing. We all know what 'monkey mind' is and often chide ourselves about it, or become frustrated about it, or waste our energy in any other variation of struggle and worry over it. But, when we look at the human condition we may realize that chiding and frustration are a dangerous waste of time and effort.

There's too much at stake and there is so much available to us when we drop it.

May we sit this evening with the awareness of what our minds are doing. May we see what is needed. May we drop the wasted efforts and plunge in.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard
