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 October 13th, 2024

Hello beautiful people. By the time Tom Sawyer was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis he had already beaten the typical life expectancy for that disease. Typical life expectancy was five years from the onset of symptoms. He had lived eight years by then. When he was included in a research study for a new treatment, he was the only one who really benefited.

His explanation – attitude changes everything.

How we approach a problem has no effect on the problem itself, but it makes a HUGE difference in how we bring solutions. With our free will we can bring an attitude of sad, defeated subordination or we can bring an attitude of 'well, what can I really do here?' You can feel the difference in your body chemistry and emotional outlook.
 
This evening let's set an intention to develop our attitudes. May we face our lives with openness, willingness, and curiosity. We already set intentions to find a good parking space, right? Let's expand on that.

With blessings for all,

Richard
