Experience BREEMA® Bodywork
with Laura Rose, Certified Breema Practitioner
BREEMA® BODYWORK is a meditative bodywork modality that activates the body's self-healing forces, bringing the mind, body and emotions into a natural, balanced state. Breema treatments and self-breema exercise are done with the recipient fully clothed on a padded floor, and the practitioner uses their natural, relaxed weight to create rhythmic movements, gentle stretches and holds. Rather than focusing on illness or imbalance, this technique actively supports the recipient to experience vibrant health, vitality and inner harmony.
The nonjudgmental atmosphere created by the practitioner's intention of being present and practicing the Nine Principles of Harmony is so nourishing that the recipient typically experiences a profound sense of safety and security. This catalyzes a significant release of acute and chronic tension and enables us to let go of conditioned patterns and connect to more natural ways of moving, thinking, and feeling. The energy that is usually drained by the disconnect between mind, body and emotions becomes available to support the body's innate self-healing mechanisms.
Breema is unique in its inherent expression of the Nine Principles of Harmony, which eliminate the need for any force by the practitioner. Instead, it uses the natural mechanics, rhythm, and relaxed weight of the practitioner's body to create a precise and dynamic balance that is profoundly comfortable, enjoyable, and beneficial for both recipient and practitioner.
Breema was developed and discovered during the late 1970's by a small group of people in the San Francisco Bay Area who discovered that there were moments during bodywork exchanges in which the atmosphere became more alive, and a more significant effect could be experienced by both practitioner and recipient. They named this bodywork system Breema - Being Right now, Everywhere, Every moment, Myself Actually. Over the years, the Breema Center has evolved into a school where the immediate emphasis is on becoming present, unifying body, mind, and feelings, and raising our level of consciousness. 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 Existence in this very moment.
