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 December 21st, 2025

Hello, light filled souls. We cannot see from the perspective of God, of what needs to occur for the spiritual growth of humanity at large. As there is a time for every season, often beyond our sight, all things will come to pass.

Faith can be tested by what we have to endure. Faith can be enhanced by the process of endurance.

In these tumultuous times may we sit for our political leaders of all stripes. May we petition God to shine its Light down upon all involved in momentous decisions, and in minutiae as well.

With love and reverence,

Richard

Hello, beautiful people. The traditional motto of the USA is E Pluribus Unum, "Out of many – one". The spiritual significance of this ought not be lost on us as it applies to any collection of people, and collectively to all.

May we sit Sunday evening pondering upon this, as fervently as we can.

Short and reverently to the point,

Richard

For Sunday December 7th, 2025

Hello to all who wish the world well. In keeping with the history of this date let us sit in reverence for our Mother Earth, and all whose lives depend upon her.

As those who see selfish extraction and personal accumulation become balanced by those who trust the intelligence of the heart, let us add our spiritual weight to the loving side of the scale.

May we sit this Sunday tilting toward truth, beauty, and Divine will for the whole world.

Bless you all,

Richard
