Essence of Breema

When a tree has vital roots, it can regenerate and become healthy, even if its branches break. But if the roots are dried out, a broken branch may cause the tree to become sick. The body operates according to the same principle. When it’s connected to its roots, it has more ability to become and...

Actually, your body cannot be defined by your skin. It has no wall, no boundary. That’s why you experience such a powerful energy when you are around other human beings. There is one energy. Your body has trillions of cells. Each cell is like a sun—each one has that much energy! When you exist, you...

When you are, you allow everything else to be. Your relationship to life is not based on like and dislike, good and bad. You are free from seeing things in terms of opposites. In I am, you don’t separate yourself, so everything is. The idea of this won’t do it. The taste of it is what makes it real...

Be ordinary. When you are ordinary, you are not separate from anything that’s happening—not from the room, the carpet, the street noise—anything. You don’t need any particular wish for the recipient or for yourself for that moment, other than to simply know you have a body. You don’t need to be...

You become healthier when you connect to the instinctive nature of your body, the natural presence in your feelings, and to consciousness, instead of the ordinary associative thought process of the mind. When body, mind, and feelings are united, we become more vital

As a unifying and universal expression of harmony, Breema is a light that reaches us at whatever level of consciousness we are in. And at the same time, it is a road we can step onto and walk on, a road that offers us a clear direction towards that same light of harmony. Each step we take on it has...

If you ask a glass of water “Who are you?” and it could answer, it would say, “I hold water.” Ask a light bulb, and it would answer, “I am a light bulb. I use electricity and give light.” But if someone asks you, “Who are you?” what are you going to say? When you say “that tree,” you are referring...
