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 again, and on time this time. Given the current state of affairs it might behoove us to petition God to send its Light down upon the world's leaders once more. 

May Divine Will be done for all.

Bless you all, and please stay willing to do our parts,

Richard

Hello from your friendly neighborhood space cadet. Things went so amazingly beautiful at a priesthood gathering that I've been on cloud nine until just reminded that it's 9 o'clock. Sheesh.

Let's have a beautiful, beautiful evening.

Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, and welcome once again. As they say, it's easy to be holy while sitting on top of a mountain all alone. However, simply because we are where we are, it's clear that we came to do our work right here at ground level.
 
We answered our calling to be who we are in the place that we are. Though it may be unclear with our limited perspectives, we have all we need to bring more spirituality to the world. Even the most simple efforts are righteous, because it's our honesty and authenticity which matters. The results will depend upon the receptivity of others, as long as we are clear.

May we sit this evening knowing we can bring spiritual beauty to the world – by just being ourselves.
 
Bless you all,

Richard

Hello, gorgeous people. Politically there is only one problem – the unity of human kind. As we have seen, this cannot be achieved through politicians who thrive on division. So it's up to us, honestly. We have to be the ones who demonstrate the unity of humanity, and do it in our daily life.

This can be a challenge for some people, and with some people. But, the effort is always righteous and worthwhile.

This evening may we set our sights above ourselves as our hearts reach above our heads once more. It may seem out of reach. It may seem out of sight. It may seem unattainable. May we be lovingly surprised by what we can do.

With love for all,

Richard
