Essence of Breema

So many things we heard in childhood stick with us. Never verified, they became the foundation of how we think and feel. To see this is so and to accept it gives us a chance to have new thoughts, new feelings, and a new posture toward life. That doesn’t mean something new you read in a book that...

Coming from complication to simplicity means coming to the body by registering the breath. Then everything falls into place. At any given moment, you have a chance to experience that moment only. Not what happened in the past, not what’s going to happen. This moment is what is given to you to...

If you examine all your fears, all the things you’re afraid of, you’ll see you are not afraid of something. You’re afraid of the thought of that thing. That’s how thoughts create fear. And fear is connected to the desire to not be afraid. Conflict between fear and desire creates suffering. We suffer...

It doesn’t matter that you fall back into your thoughts a hundred times. The moment you see you were in thought, that’s a new opening, a new chance to come back to the taste of the present moment. You don’t have to go back to the past. You don’t need preconceived ideas or expectations, because they...

The way of the heart is also the way of connectedness, because the heart, by nature, brings everything into unity. Mind diversifies, heart unifies. Heart knows, mind tries to figure out. When we are truly in the heart, in the innermost of the intimate connection with our Source, our mind is a...

Being-participation is not what it seems at first glance. It’s much deeper than that, because Being is always connected to Beingness, to unity. In unity, there is no fear. Fear comes from taking yourself separately. As soon as you are separate, you have to be afraid of me, and I have to be afraid of...

Joy and sorrow are part of the process of Existence. Like the warp and weft of a carpet, they are woven into each other, and they each have a purpose to fulfill. The purpose of sorrow is to make us receptive to higher influences and to higher dimensions of ourselves. Joy is the expression in our...

You cannot be that which dies. You can’t be something temporary, because your real nature is permanent, Timeless, immortal Existence. Identification with any part of the temporary aspect causes us suffering. If I believe I am “me,” I open the door to fear and suffering. Any label you attach to “I am...

When you concentrate, that’s the time you don’t hear. Because real hearing takes place beyond your mind, beyond what you think you are. Allow yourself to be receptive. Then you hear. You can only hear from yourself. What you hear from “outside” has no value to you. But it could support you to become...
