Essence of Breema

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.

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...

The body is an energy system whose job is to take the many different types of energy it receives from “outside”—from food, air, and impressions—and transform them so they can be used for our harmonious existence and development. Practicing Breema and Self-Breema makes us more able to transform the...

Look at a photograph of yourself. You may say, “That’s me.” But it isn’t you—there’s a difference. You see that photograph, and it can’t see you. The real sees the image and knows itself. You are that which sees the photo and knows you are not that image. You are not the mind, body, or feelings. You...

When you do your job properly, things work. When you don’t, they don’t. It’s as simple as that. Everything needs the correct energy. You need to relate to each person with the right energy if you want your interaction to move in the direction of greater harmony. Say you have a key chain with 100...
