We have judgment because we have a “judge.” This judge gets its authority from two places—the past and the future. That’s where it lives. When you come to the present, the judge has no authority at all. In fact, when you come to the present, there is no judge.

Breema supports you to relate to yourself as Being-existence, as part of one whole, unified Existence, without thought, without philosophy. That could become your posture towards life. You could take that posture with you and go visit your family. In the atmosphere of that posture, there is harmony...

Whatever you’re doing, let it become complete. Let each movement in Breema be one complete movement. When you wash dishes, pick up one plate and wash it, then put it away and pick up another one. When you walk, let one step mature on the ground, then, without pause, take another step. This way, you...

You have Body Comfortable in the absence of fear and worry. Why are we always worried? Because of the thoughts that pass through our mind. When you’re not experiencing your body inhaling and exhaling, it means you are having thoughts. You can’t tell your mind “Don’t think!” and so you can’t order...

Nothing exists without the principle of Mutual Support. A carpet maintains its form by the support each knot gives all the other knots. A cup is a cup because every atom, through the principle of Mutual Support, supports all the other atoms to hold together. Look at a tree—the branches, trunk, fruit...

Don’t be afraid to connect to people. It’s the most precious gift you can give. When you have some interaction, some contact with people, connect to them. That increases your life force and supports them, too. When you connect, what you see of someone with your eyes is not important. Their name...

Our attitude towards life creates energy blockages, because it causes fear and anxiety. In the absence of real knowledge and understanding, we experience fear. When you bring the mind to the activity of the body, a different kind of energy becomes available. That energy is healing, because it...

Giving and receiving need to be understood from a higher dimension. When you really give, you give to the Totality. When you really receive, you receive from the Totality. If you give to someone you relate to only in separation, you are giving only to the temporary part of them, which will only be...

Our real feelings have no negativity. They have an inclusive quality that comes from Unity. All negativity we have in our ordinary feelings comes from outside of us. It’s not our own. Fear gives rise to negativity. A child who is sitting between a loving mother and father doesn’t know fear. When we...

There are two keys to working with Breema. The first is to move from complication towards simplicity. When you’re confused, it means you’ve made something complicated. So simplify. When there are too many things that need to be done, you don’t know what to do, and you don’t have the energy to do any...
