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.

Hello to all in this ongoing transition. We're watching forces and sources work to maintain their positions of external power; financial, political, and military. We also see those who are responding from their hearts; reaching out to those in need, helping neighbors, supporting each other.

It's a desperate balance at the moment.

Let us sit this Sunday evening giving energy to those who respond from their hearts, who are hopefully 'looking upward' for guidance. May we cushion the difficulties, enhance the beautiful, and always be willing.

Bless you all for all you do,

Richard

Hello, loving lights. We are told that true meditation is not musing nor daydreaming but, as your body is made up of the physical, mental, and the spiritual, it is the attuning of the mental body and the physical body to its spiritual source.

As millions of practitioners can tell you, it doesn't come easily.

However, shall we try again? Any one or two second flash of pure quietness, in between all the chattering, just like any honest effort, is righteous and worthwhile.
 
With blessings and encouragement for all,

Richard

Hello, and grateful greetings to all. In this life it's easy to follow rules which define virtue and humility for us. But true virtue and humility is not learned, not something to be practiced. But rather, in seeing vanity, pride, greed, and all the rest of that nonsense create disorder for us, in the observing of that disorder we come to choose different directions which, when viewed in total, are called virtue and humility.

We learn who we are as we go.

May we sit this evening being lovingly aware of our disorder. May we see ourselves clearly, and choose new paths.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello once again, beautiful people. At this moment humanity is still burning Mother Earth's skin with pollutants, killing each other for power and profit, and allowing starvation to occur while resources are hoarded.
 
As a general grouping, we are lost.

May we sit this evening asking that Divine Light shine down upon us all, that God's will be done, and we find our way home.

With reverence for all,

Richard
