“And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?” ~Rumi

Self-Breema®

SELF-BREEMA® is a practice of one or more gentle exercises and is one aspect of a larger practice known as Breema®. Breema (aka The Art of Being Present) is a nurturing approach to movement & touch which is rooted in 9 simple principles, which Breema refers to as The Nine Principles of Harmony. The aim of Breema® is to become fully present -- to have body/mind connection and inner harmony. When practicing Self-Breema®, our intention is to remain connected to these simple principles while engaging in gentle exercises for our own well-being.

During a Self-Breema session, I guide my client through one or more Self-Breema exercises. There are a wide range of exercises available and include ones done standing, kneeling, sitting, walking, and even laying down. The exercises are a few minutes in length each and can easily be integrated into daily life, however and whenever one so chooses.
While being supported by another person through receiving Breema® Bodywork is indeed a wonderful gift, learning and practicing Self-Breema exercises is a great way to connect to the nurturing essence of Breema without having to be dependent on me or another Certified Breema Practitioner.
I offer private Self-Breema sessions, usually in conjunction with a Breema® Bodywork session and/or other service, although an appointment can be booked for just Self-Breema exercises. You can also join me at a monthly group Self-Breema® class in the Mission (San Francisco).

"Soizig has offered and organized Self-Breema classes for the community which were welcoming, comfortable and experiential. I found deep comfort in the ones I have attended and hope to attend as often as possible. Soizig has also helped me with Breema as I am recovering from an acutely painful event and I have appreciated her gentle spirit and presence. I recommend Soizig and Breema emphatically!" ~Esther Gallagher, Birth & Postpartum Doula, Placenta Encapsulator, and co-host of the Fourth Trimester Podcast

"This was a wonderful way to end the week and kick off the weekend. Such simple yet powerful practices to ground you plus I loved the poetic names! I'll be back!" ~Susan Arthur, Birth & Postpartum Doula, Placenta Encapsulator, Child Birth Educator, Yoga Instructor

* EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)(aka Tapping) is a simple practice of shifting one's relationship to difficulty and pain by tapping certain acupressure points. I can teach you how to practice EFT, so that you can use it on your own whenever you like, and/or I can guide and support you through personalized EFT sessions. EFT is easy to learn and easy to practice, and can be done in under 5 minutes, however I find greater benefit in longer sessions of about 10 or more minutes. If you like the idea of using affirmations, but feel it creates cognitive dissonance, EFT is a great way to reconcile the two -- as you can tap on the underlying negativity/challenge and then follow it up by tapping with the positive/vision. People often benefit from doing EFT with the support and presence of an experienced EFT practitioner, especially when struggling with an overwhelming challenge, although once mastered, EFT is a great tool to have in your ongoing self-care arsenal.

* Meditation Support, Breathwork, and more, depending on your needs/interest. I have spent more than 1/2 my life trying to expand my knowledge and experience in various self-care practices, including formal training and personal practice/research. If you want to tell me your challenges and/or how else you are trying to enrich your life, I'll let you know if I have some tools &/or ideas to share with you!

“People can never get better without knowing what they feel & feeling what they feel...You can be fully in charge of your life only if you can acknowledge the reality of your body, in all its visceral dimensions.”
~Bessel van der Kolk, M.D. on the teachings of Elvin Semrad, M.D.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to
seek & find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” ~Rumi

“No matter what our thoughts, if they obscure our sense of JOY & PURPOSE, they’re always inaccurate.” ~Martha Beck
