Listen Now to Alexandra Johnson, M.D. on BREEMA
We had an opportunity this week to learn about and experience this modernized ancient practice of Breema, thanks to Dr. Alexandra Johnson, at her clinic in Santa Cruz, CA. In our current divisive war-ridden climate, Breema is a relatively simple yet profound practice of being present, in the moment, in a high state of harmony with oneself, and hence the world. The awareness that the inner world reflects the outer, the microcosm is the macrocosm, As Above So Below, and non-dual states of contemplation all touch on the same principals of consciousness, where our body, mind, and feelings are in harmony with each other.
Alexandra R. Johnson, MD, is trained in Family Medicine at the University of Colorado, with a fellowship in obstetrics. Throughout her medical career, her emphasis has been on finding simple and meaningful paths to optimal health. She served as teaching faculty for the University of Colorado and Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, worked at a refugee clinic in rural Colorado, and is a specialist in developing physician wellness curricula. Her work focuses not only on improving immediate symptoms of illness, but on developing a connection to the body that supports insight into how our unconscious conditioning affects our health.
Dr. Johnson has used Breema‘s universal principles extensively in both prenatal care and labor to cultivate an open, nurturing environment in which great transformation can take place. I think you’ll enjoy our interview with her and come away with some practical tools for your own practice. Enjoy!
