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 March 16th, 2025

Hello to all on this beautifully warming spring day. Love is an active orientation toward others, an action which affirms both them and ourselves. In fact, if we can have deep respect and acceptance of another's human foibles we can more easily avoid the negative consequences so typical of adversarial moments in our relationships.

Where Eros is a possessive form of love based on desirable attributes in another, Agape` is the active affirmation of someone even in spite of their negative attributes.

May we sit this evening being aware of the power of Agape` to change lives, to bring connection, to enhance the world in which we live.

With reverence for all,

Richard
