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.

Fwd: Thoughts in the middle of the night...

Although the spiritual transformation of humanity is a given thing, the process, the path taken to achieve it, is ours to build. We can voluntarily commit ourselves to the efforts required, or wait until we're driven to them in a fit of desperation. The choice has always been ours to make.

It is no longer safe to coast along trusting things will work out in time, with minimal efforts on our part.

This is the time to meditate deeply, pray, sometimes pray fervently, and do what comes to hand to be done. It may be simply to take a shower, eat and rest well, and treat others beautifully. Or, it may be a spontaneous act of loving kindness while in meditation or the sleep state.

Each of us, with our own talents and abilities, has a role to play. Please, play it lovingly and fully.

"Dear God, show me what you would have me do. Lead me to those who need me. Lead me to where I am needed."

With reverence and love,

Richard
