6 Days of Breema, 9 Principles for life

Hi all,

I'm attending 6 days of Breema, a bodywork method developed in the 80's in Berkeley, Oakland, California.
What it all comes down to is these nine principles, that we practice while we do the body work, but ones you get into it, it applies on every move you make, every breath you take, also outside the Breema centre. It enriches and supports me in a very nice way.
Take a moment to read the principles... enjoy!

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 that Existence supports us. Giving and receiving support take place simultaneously.

No Judgment
The atmosphere of nonjudgment 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 of force.

Lots of love from the east Bay,
for the people back home; see you in 1,5 week!
