TEA AND ZEN - THREADS
Threads is a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontières, a sanctuary devoted to presence, remembrance, and the quiet radiance of being. These transmissions arise from lived experience — from grief that has softened into wisdom, from love that refuses to diminish, and from the sacred interior technologies of stillness and relational presence.

If what you are thinking or doing…..whatever it maybe…..if it is not accompanied on its journey from beginning to end with LOVE…..if it is not made manifest with kindness and compassion then it cannot be the truth of.....any matter.

“From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king.”Tolkien J.R.R. ~These words speak to a prophecy of hope and renewal in a time of darkness and despair. The idea of a hidden hero or king emerging from obscurity to fulfill their destiny and bring about a new era of light.Is it time for you to step out of your shadow and embrace the light?…..I hope that you will find it so. May all love become you ~ Nigel Lott Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

Death is a favor to us,But our scales have lost their balance.The impermanence of the bodyShould give us great clarity,Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyesOf this mysterious existence we shareAnd are surely just traveling through.If I were in the Tavern tonight,Hafiz would call for drinksAnd as the Master poured, I would be remindedThat all I know of life and myself is thatWe are just a midair flight of golden wineBetween His Pitcher and His Cup.If I were in the Tavern tonight,I would buy freely for everyone in this worldBecause our marriage with the Cruel BeautyOf time and space cannot endure very long.Death is a favor to us,But our minds have lost their balance.The miraculous existence and impermanence ofFormAlways makes the illumined onesLaugh and sing…….Hafiz Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

This P.E.A.C.E of music is aptly named Dream Trapper. It is said that when listened to, it will evoke only dreams within you that are dear to your heart…. and are created out of Love and only Love…all else will simply pass on through without notice undisturbed.Nigel Lott teaandzen.org Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

I was asked to record the sleep time meditation from - ‘Love is Blind; - that I sent out the other night…here it is then.It occurs to me to say in this moment that whatever darkness, whatever suffering is within you..it is no less lovable than anything in the light. Whatever is going on with you in any moment you are a being of such love, please know that!…. of all your days and of your nights. It is by knowing that, accepting that…the darkness is largely dispelled.What is important to know is that during sleep the ego self, that construct is somewhat off line, so to speak and the hearts truth is seen to arise in some aspects that our waking ego state finds hard to allow. So practicing this letting go meditation just before sleep has less barriers to move through….something like that. Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

Listen to this music and follow this practice below just before sleep.It is said Love is blind yet, is it not the only thing that sees clearly of how it all is? open your heart to its light and may it burn away all the darkness, shadow by shadow let it all go into the light. Offer whatever is dark within you to this light just before you sleep every night as a meditation practice, lay it all down at the Masters feet, letting it go softly into the night, into the light of your ever present living soul. Go to sleep and do not be afraid. Be at Peace. Nigel LottMusic “Do Not Be Afraid’ Jacob Ahlbom Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe
