What stands out for a new client is how nurturing Breema is. The recipient fully clothed lies down on her back on a mat on the floor. As the practitioner moves the client’s body in different positions, the client receives different combinations of leans, stretches, holds, brushes and playful taps. During the session the practitioner fits her body around her client’s body to support the movements she chooses. Breema is based on the Nine Principles of Harmony, (one which is mutual support.) Because Breema is non-diagnostic, the practitioner leaves behind what could be her personal stake in “fixing” or “healing” the client, exchanging that instead for trusting Existence to provide both client and practitioner exactly what they need in the moment.

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.

No Extra
To express our true nature, nothing extra is needed.

Firmness and Gentleness
Real firmness is always gentle. Real gentleness is always firm. When we are present, we naturally manifest firmness and gentleness simultaneously.

Full Participation
The most natural way of moving and living is with full participation. Full participation is possible when body, mind and feelings are united in a common aim.

Mutual Support
The more our being participates, the more we are able to support life and recognize the Existence supports us. Giving and receiving support take place simultaneously.

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.

Single Moment/Single Activity

Each moment is new, fresh totally alive. Each moment is an expression of our true nature, complete by itself.

No Hurry/No Pause
In the natural rhythm of life energy, there is no hurry and no pause.

No Force
When we let go of assumptions of separation, we let go force.
