TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/12/08

There is a simple yet profound truth: love is all-encompassing. It surrounds us, it resides within us, and it is the very force that shapes our existence. The moment we open ourselves to this truth, a world of infinite possibilities unfolds before us.When we acknowledge that love is not just something we give or receive, but a constant, living presence in every moment, it shifts our perspective. Every breath, every glance, every touch becomes an opportunity to surrender to this powerful energy. Love

A FORGIVENESS MEDITATION

“In the practice of forgiveness, we are not required to forgive the act itself, but we are called to forgive the one who acted. For when we keep our hearts closed to another, we ultimately keep our hearts closed to ourselves.Through forgiveness, we free both ourselves and others—a shift from darkness into light.”“Close your ears and listen, listen with all your heart”Nigel Lott Get full access to Tea and Zen - Meditation Sans Frontieres at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

HUMILITY

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/12/03

Humility is the grounding force that keeps us aligned with our true nature, ensuring an open and receptive heart. It is the profound understanding that we are vessels of a greater wisdom and power, and that no achievement or possession can ever define our true worth. Humility calls us to surrender to this boundless wisdom….always present within us…..and to its infinite love, a love that transcends all measure.It is the quiet strength that arises from the awareness that we are all interconnected,

2024/12/02

In the stillness of a deep, attentive ear lies an ancient and sacred form of connection. To be truly listened to….without judgment, distraction, or the need to fix…..is one of the most profound gifts we can offer and receive in this lifetime. It is not just a form of communication; it is a recognition of the soul, a moment of pure presence that transcends the surface level of words.When we are deeply listened to, we experience a profound sense of being seen. Not merely our actions or our words, but

COURAGE

2024/12/01

Courage, has a profound deeply spiritual dimension. In many spiritual traditions, courage is not just about confronting external challenges, but also about the inner strength to confront the unknown within ourselves. It is the willingness to step into the unknown and trust in a higher purpose, even when the path ahead is unclear or fraught with difficulties.From a spiritual point of view, courage is deeply tied to faith. It is the ability to surrender one's fears and doubts and place trust in

Do not stand at my grave and weepI am not there. I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning'shush I am the swift uplifting rushOf quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine atnight.Do not stand at my grave and cry;I am not there.

I HOPE this inspires.In the depths of despair, when the weight of the world seems unbearable, the concept of hope can feel distant…..perhaps like a flickering flame in a storm. Yet, from a spiritual perspective, hope is not just a fleeting emotion; it is a vital force that with courage can transcend our circumstances, a divine gift that connects us to a higher purpose.Hope, in its purest form, is not about wishful thinking or naive optimism. It is rooted in the belief that, despite appearances,

Out beyond ideasof wrong-doing and right-doing,there is a field - I'll meet you there.When the soul lies down in that grass,the world is too full to talk about.Ideas, language, even the phrase"each other"don't make any sense....RumiIt is in the silence within meeting the silence without, in that space out of time, all love is found, beyond even a whisper.

Embracing the Path to Love and Peace

TEA AND ZEN - THREADS ·

2024/11/10

Life often challenges us with moments of anger, fear, and grief—emotions that arise from the primal belief that love is absent, or that we have become separate from the infinite, all-encompassing force that transcends time and space and is at the very core of all existence.But what if this grief, this feeling of isolation, is rooted in a profound misunderstanding? What if the absence of love we feel in certain moments is not an absence at all, but simply a disconnection from the truth that love has
