I get asked from time to time about what I do. A better question is what do I not do? I try to do everything in the name of loving-kindness and compassion in the hope that it may awaken others to the love, the peace within their hearts. No matter the suffering there is a path back home, freedom from suffering to a love beyond our wildest dreams that is found at the heart of all, that has always been present, it’s just that upon taking this birth we appear to forget who we really are - I help people remember.
With a good dose of faith in the process and guidance within time-honored practices, we come to understand the most wounded heart can find its way back home, and that Love the creative force of the universe indeed heals all wounds. It is for me undeniable that all suffering is a result of thinking, mistakenly, at any given moment that Love is not present, has gone away and that is impossible. Love cannot go anywhere, though it sure feels like it at times - I understand.
I hold multiple certifications in various behavioral sciences, in addition to my years at Seattle University, I trained at the Aurora Institute of Behavioral Medicine for five years, in many cutting-edge techniques and practices designed to get at the deepest, psychological, emotional, and somatic malaise and its healing.
Most of all however, through my charity and non-profit (meditationsansfrontieres.com) I offer a decades-long process of healing and recovery from my own late-stage chronic addiction patterns, and the complex profound levels of trauma and suffering that I have healed from and am still in process with, offering all this vast experience and education, practices to all those who come my way, given freely.
I am a meditation teacher, breathwork coach, trauma expert, psychotherapist, researcher, and teacher of the bio-energetic, cellular nature of complex, forms of post-traumatic stress disorder. I am also a critical incident stress debriefing and management specialist in mapping the nervous system's response to trauma, clearing a path toward healing and recovery.
I have extensive experience working with addiction, trauma, early childhood development, perinatal and prenatal trauma, and the relationship between stress and illness, its impact on the human nervous system, its dysfunction, and repair.
I also have had a somewhat unique long-term experience including the research and development of forms of central nervous system dysfunction, aspects of dysautonomia, more specifically with latent examples of malfunction within the sympathetic nervous system body and the adrenergic storms, and amygdala hi-jack events that have plagued me for many years, so prevalent in combat veterans though by no means exclusively so.
I spend much of my time in service to all those that I meet, speaking to small groups, conducting gatherings and workshops, and meeting people who are interested in the healing process. Nigel Lott teaandzen.org
