This book and an ebook edition are...

“I have” relates to form. “I am” relates to Being. To relate to the word “Being,” you need to be. You can’t have the Truth. The requirement for entering into the Truth is to taste the truth of your existence. To be conscious of anything, you have to be conscious of your own existence. All moments of...

You can only see things as they really are when you see yourself as you are in relation to them. It means to see things as a part of your existence, not as separate phenomena. Existence is one unified whole—nothing separate exists. There is one life force, and it enters into everything that has been...

The Four Relationships—our relationship to the body, our relationship to the outside world, our relationship to ourself, and our relationship to our True nature—provide a universal framework that enables us to usefully relate to the ingredients and issues of our life, and to find a meaningful...

The truth is simple. The direct experience of the truth is truth. In its absence, we search for new words, for different philosophies. But "new" doesn't mean having a new concept—it means having a new taste of your own existence in this moment.
How do you relate to your life? It's as though you...

Breema is universal and has great potential value to anyone with a sincere interest in Truth, because it’s a practical road to Self-understanding. Breema’s timeless principles are applicable to every situation in life, and they open us to the possibility of awakening to the essential unity of...

This book talks to our essential nature, because Truth already exists there. The more our essence is nurtured, the greater the chance that cracks may appear in our conditioned attitude towards life. Through these cracks, we may see things we haven’t seen before, and nourish our essential desire for...

When you read these writings, you are filled up with an inner resonance, because their reality and meaning are in you as well as all around you. When you hear the Truth, you also hear it inside of yourself, in your very essence. The Truth is not something foreign. It’s already part of you just...

To see things as they are, we have to be as we are. The taste of Being is received in the absence of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. When we receive that taste, we can see thoughts as thoughts, feelings as feelings, sensations as sensations. By not identifying with them, we enter into the...

The desire to know, to be, and to understand is the essential heritage of being human. The most meaningful aspect of that desire is the desire to know oneself, to be oneself, and to understand oneself. Even though we don’t know what self means, this gives us direction. It points towards you. In...

You do Breema in order to become present, and by remaining present, to have presence, which is to receive the emanation of what is. In that, your Being participates. Understanding is a property of Being, and Being is in harmony with what is.

The purpose of Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and Breema’s philosophy is to show us a new way of life—the way to be yourself in life, the way to participate in life, not in the reactive state, but in the active state, with body and mind together. From there, you have a chance to come to the...

You have to know where you are, wherever you are. Establish one “marker”—I am here in this moment. This first step is the most important thing in the world! Wherever you are, be where you are. Then, you can see the next step.
You study Breema in order to study yourself. You do Breema in order to be...

There are two parts of us—the child of Existence and the child of society. The child of society is our acquired aspect, acquired from our education, from books, movies, radio, television, newspapers, the Internet. But we’re more than that. We have also been given something by Existence. The child of...

These poems are doorways that open into the heart of Breema as a teaching for Self-understanding, and for understanding the world and our place and purpose in it.

These poems are doorways that open into the heart of Breema as a teaching for Self-understanding, and for understanding the world and our place and purpose in it.

This book especially emphasizes those aspects of Breema's philosophy and principles that relate to practicing Breema bodywork, though of course it also applies to all activities of our lives.

Selbst-Breema ist eine Metho­de, die uns zur Einheit führt. Wenn wir die Übungen und die ihnen zugrunde liegenden Prinzipien praktizieren, werden wir darin unterstützt, uns im Einklang mit den natürlichen Gesetzen zu bewegen, die das Leben und die Gesund­heit bestimmen. Wenn sich Körper, Verstand und Gefühle in Ausrichtung auf ein gemeinsames Ziel vereinen, werden wir gegenwärtig.

Wir wurden dazu konditioniert, nie präsent zu sein. Wir sind stets in der Vergangenheit oder in der Zukunft. Deshalb sind wir uns nicht bewusst, dass wir existieren und nehmen Lebensenergie auf, ohne uns dessen bewusst zu sein. Mit Breema und den neun Prinzipien arbeiten wir, um unser Dasein zu schmecken, um neue Gedanken, neue Gefühle und eine neue Haltung dem Leben gegenüber zu haben.
