Essence of Breema

When we have the definite taste of I have a body or there is a body, there is no longer any need to emphasize one part of the body over any other part. That taste is a knowledge which is equally the property of every cell of the body. Every cell of the body is working together, and the knowledge of...

When you bring body and mind together, you begin to be intentional. You are actively participating in your life, instead of passively being moved by external influences, like hay blown by the wind. You become less mechanical, less critical of the world, and a little more connected to yourself. 

Why do you do Breema? To unify yourself and support life. With our eyes, we see form, texture, and color. We are totally identified with the obvious. We don’t see the flow of the life force. But when you do Breema, you may experience it and so may the recipient. We need to see that we are not just...

A foundation is something that things are built upon. What if you want to apply this word to the meaning and purpose of your life? What is the foundation on which all meaning and purpose are built?

Acceptance also helps us to lose our fear of others. What you see of yourself in...

Reality can’t be formulated in words. Still, words can inspire us, and we can receive direction from what we hear or read, provided we don’t take the words for reality itself. You can’t take the word “bread” to be bread, because no matter how many times you think it, your stomach remains empty.

Before you agree to let someone live in your house, look at how carefully you consider, how you try to look at the situation from every angle to see if that’s right. But the things we put in our mind, we don’t investigate at all. We don’t even ask ourself, “Do I want to put that idea in my mind?”...
