Essence of Breema

You can take one cell of the body and put it under a microscope. You can describe its components and even break it down into electrons and electrical charges, but that’s all you can say. You still can’t understand it. But when you look at it in relation to the whole, you see that cell is part of the...

What can you do to be more connected to the truth? The answer—don’t forget the body. Bringing your mind to your body brings you from the passive state to the active state. When you move your arm, and you know it is moving, body and mind are connected. Then your desires are different. Your questions...

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...

If someone wastes all their money on trifles, can they be called healthy? Then how can we say we are healthy if we waste our energy, which is our true wealth, by spending it uselessly? The fact that we are almost always tense indicates that we’re wasting our energy. Letting go of unnecessary tension...

If a flowing river were to concern itself with nurturing every plant and tree along its banks, it would lose its grace and elegance, and its beauty of movement. Instead, it just flows. Each plant it passes receives what it needs, without any special effort on the part of the river. This is the way...

When you do Breema, “the five elements” within you are participating. Fire gives warmth and energy. It’s in your circulation. Air cleanses and takes away useless thoughts in your mind. Water washes and purifies you, and creates movement. It’s in your feelings. Earth gives minerals, real substance...

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.
