Most of our difficulties arise from relying on an incomplete or incorrect perspective to relate to the situations and life events through which we are going. Connecting to the Bigger Picture introduces a look at life that is more comprehensive, inclusive, and holistic. Rather than being based on the relative knowledge of the separate parts, it is grounded in the wisdom of the whole and the essential relationship between parts and the whole. In Breema, connection to the bigger picture begins with connection to the body, to the knowledge of there is a body which we know by taste. When we are present, the bigger picture comes into view, judgment decreases, and we see things more as they actually are. In those moments, life is not a series of problems to be solved but an experience to taste.
Join us as we look at how Breema can guide us in this direction and help us find us greater self-understanding. We’ll practice Self-Breema to get a taste of body-mind connection, an essential first step towards becoming present, and discuss how it can enter into all aspects of our lives.
