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 6th, 2024

Hello, beautiful people. Here's a familiar human foible: A situation occurs in which we're not sure what the outcome will be. We react with fear, which is uncomfortable. So, we replace fear with anger. Focusing anger on the situation gives us the illusion of power and purpose. Anger, power, and purpose gives us something to do, which is far more emotionally comfortable than the unknowns of fear. Anger, power, and purpose driven by fear creates chaos – which then drives fear, anger, power, and purpose to recycle again. If not interrupted, it is endless.

On the other hand, we know love casts out fear. The question is, how do we love in the original situation?
 
The answer to that varies based upon the individuals involved, the actual situation, and perhaps a degree of intuitive timing. You may not know anything until it's time to know it. The key is in the searching.

May we sit this evening being open to what may come from honest searching, for the trust that answers will come, and for the courage to follow through.

Bless you all for who you are,

Richard
