I studied Breema to assist me in becoming more conscious of my breathing and how it affects my body. I had some amazing experiences transforming my consciousness through the practice of Breema. I find that I use it every day to keep my body at ease and aligned with my Being aware of living in the moment. I find it invaluable to use the nine principles of harmony to keep me present, more cognizant of my Self and my own magnificence.
“Follow the breath” may sound too simple to you, but that’s the actual teaching of the Center. But you can’t follow it in your head. You have to follow it actually. When you are actually doing it, you become free of your past and future. Step by step, you enter into the moment. When you arrive, you see you have always been there. There is one eternal moment. Always present, always available, always real. Whenever Being is present, it is connected to Beingness, to the totality of everything that exists
“Our comfort, agility and confidence is restored through the practice of Breema and Body Awareness and Ease. Breema is designed to improve our quality of life. From the elderly to the young , people learn new skills. If we can no longer sit, stand or walk with the ease of a teenager, it is possible to regain some, if not all, of our mobility. Breema is enjoyable and refreshing and it helps to reduce stress and tension.”
The Nine Principles Of Harmony
1. Body Comfortable:
When we look at the body, not as something separate, but as an aspect of a unified whole, there is no place for discomfort.
2. No Extra:
To express our true nature, nothing extra is needed.
3. Firmness and Gentleness:
Real firmness is always gentle. Real gentleness is always firm. When we are present, we naturally manifest firmness and gentleness simultaneously.
4. Full Participation:
The most natural way of moving and living is with full participation. Full participation is possible, when body, mind and feeling are united in a common aim.
5. Mutual Support:
The more our Being participates, the more we are able to support life and recognize that existance supports us. Giving and receiving support take place simultaneously.
6. No Judgment:
The atmosphere of non judgment gives us a taste of acceptance of ourselves as we are in the moment. When we come to the present, we are free from judgment.
7. Single Moment/Single Activity:
Each moment is new, fresh, totally alive. Each moment is an expression of our true nature, complete by itself.
8. No Hurry/No Pause:
In the natural rhythm of life energy, there is no hurry and no pause.
9. No Force:
When we let go of assumptions of separation, we let go of force.
