Video 1: Physical Warm-Up for TRE
A gentle preparation to activate your body’s natural healing responseThis physical warm-up routine offers an energizing pathway into TRE, especially helpful on days when your energy feels high or you need a more active approach. Through six simple exercises – including rocking movements, calf raises, and wall sits – you’ll gently fatigue your leg and hip muscles, creating the ideal conditions for your body’s natural tremor mechanism to activate.What you’ll learn:
- 6 targeted exercises to activate your nervous system’s healing response.
- Learn how to prepare your body for deeper release work.
- Always listen to your body’s signals and work within your comfort zone.
Video 2: Guided TRE Practice Session
This is where the real magic happens. Building on Dr. David Berceli’s groundbreaking TRE method, this session guides you through the complete process of activating and allowing your body’s natural tremor response. Through specific poses and movements, you’ll help your nervous system release deeply stored tension – without having to revisit or process traumatic memories consciously.
- Practice techniques for allowing natural tremors to emerge safely
- Learn how to work with the – often contracted in fight-or-flight – psoas muscle.
- Allow your body’s innate wisdom to guide the healing process.
Understanding Your Body’s Built-In Healing Mechanism
Every human body comes equipped with a powerful, self-regulatory mechanism designed to help us recover from stress and trauma. TRE taps into this natural process through simple physical movements that gently initiate tremoring – the same response you might see in animals after escaping danger.
- Your body knows how to heal; these exercises simply create the right conditions
- No force required – we’re working with your system, not against it
- The tremors emerge when your nervous system feels safe to release
- No need to talk about or consciously process traumatic experiences
Initiating the Shaking Mechanism
This is an intuitive movement practice. The sequence of simple physical movements will serve to initiate the body’s natural tremor response. The goal is to allow your body to move and release tension in a way that feels natural and comfortable for you. The presenter will guide you through the process, which is designed to be gentle and accessible for most people.
Important Considerations
This is not about pushing through or “making” something happen. The tremors are a sign of your nervous system’s intelligence at work – a biological process that helps restore balance and calm. These videos are designed for those who have completed either a mindfulness-based or movement-based introduction to TRE. They provide the foundation for beginning your own self-regulated practice.
