5.0 out of 5 stars What Is Breema?, October 26, 2000

By 

Christa Bella (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Breema (Paperback)

I am sure that many who have happened onto this page are wondering to themselves....just what is Breema®? Is it like some sort of Thai massage? Breema is like, and is complementary, to all forms of bodywork, but it is also uniquely different. A large portion of the people who have received Breema bodywork comment on how parts of their session remind them of other bodywork they either do or have received...at the same time, they comment on how different it is to the various types of bodywork they have given or received.
Simply put, Breema is a method of mediation and bodywork aimed at connecting us to our essential nature. This is a comprehensive book that, without actually having to become Breema practitioner or receiving a Breema session, can give the reader an intrinsic understanding of exactly what Breema is. Essentially...it is guide, a direction, a teaching in how to live in harmony...with yourself, with others, and with life itself. The uniqueness of Breema is not in its form, but in how we learn to approach what we are doing with the form. The bodywork, along with its principles, becomes a tool to connect to our essential nature. In reality, Breema is ourselves as we truly are, not as we think we are. When we are present and living with the principles of Breema, everything we do becomes Breema. We are existence giving to existence. Once we connect to the principles of Breema, what we freely give to ourselves, we automatically give to others.
The manner in which this book was written allows the reader, if they choose, to open to one page and read a few lines, or just look at one picture, and get a "taste" of all that Breema is about...simplicity, connection, openness and receptivity to life. Of course, the impulse is to read more...and for some like myself, to learn more. This is the kind of book one never grows tired of. It is always new and fresh, allowing the reader to gather new perspectives with each and every reading.
At each moment in time the individual experience for each person will change, the bodies themselves will change, the minds involved and the concepts they hold, or let go of, will change. One of the things that is so beautiful about Breema is its inherent receptively to this understanding. This sense of understanding is part of our true nature. Learning about Breema can be helpful in bringing us back to that simple, nurturing part of ourselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars A vital book to read for anyone who wishes to know oneself., September 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Breema (Paperback)

This book truly expresses who man is as an energy system and what his relationship is with himself and existence as a whole. Through the simple, natural Breema bodywork method as expressed here, one can come to the vitality of body in its natural state, and then the inner wisdom which recognizes Existence as a whole. A simple, practical guide which truly reveals the Essence of this precious method.

This review is from: Breema - Essence of Harmonious Life (Hardcover)

If you seek to improve your connection with your own body and learn to make an extraordinary (non-sexual) connection with another body, this book is for you. It's not about "healing," it's about connection on a much deeper level. The book is half a philosophical discussion to introduce you to the concepts, and half is more instructive in Breema technique.
