‘I found the process to be very accessible and immediately effective – I was shaking well before I finished the exercises, and enjoyed the sensation of release.’ Here is great review of a ‘TRE Intro Day’ from Susie Gerke, yoga teacher and blogger via http://omdepartment.com Friday Featuring … The Shakes Or, more officially, Tension, Stress and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE). Intrigued by the idea that inducing involuntary tremors might be another way of tackling deep tension and chronic pain, in August of this year I went along to a day-long workshop run by Steve Haines to learn about shaking as a form of self-regulating the nervous system. I booked this workshop... Read More

Memory is a complex perception How does memory work? Why does it get confused in trauma? When trying to recover from overwhelming experiences it can be helpful to understand how memory works, particularly how memories are related to feelings in the body. There are folklore phrases such as ‘muscle memory’ and ‘cellular memory’ that can be very useful but need to be applied carefully. They speak to the importance of information stored in the body. However it is essential to understand that for the information to be available to our awareness, our brain needs to be involved in processing the patterns of information flow happening in the body. Where the... Read More

You are already shaking

Try this; with your feet hip width apart, try and stand perfectly still. ‘Perfectly still’ is the kicker – it’s not possible. Let’s increase the stress on your body by making your brain work harder; bring your feet together. Notice the natural oscillations in your body amplify. We are constantly contracting and over-correcting as we attempt to stand upright. If you are still not sure you are already shaking all the time; stand on one foot (only if your balance is good). Really feel how you are endlessly dancing with gravity. Muscle activity is mediated by ‘central pattern generators’ – groups of neurons in the spinal cord that cause rhythmic motor... Read More

‘The new wellbeing craze of shaking’ TRE in The Sunday Times
TRE in The Sunday Times Style Magazine ‘There’s some physiological logic behind shaking. “A noisy neighbour or an argument with your husband takes you down the same fear pathway as fleeing a tiger,” says Steve Haines, who runs TRE workshops at Triyoga in London. It’s hard to think clearly when we’re tense. “We feel stuck, numb, absent and depressive.” Change the physiology, though, “so you feel released and connected”, and the effect is “a sense of joy, ease and comfort”. This, he says, leads to better sleep, more stability and confidence, and less pain. Diverting energy from stress, he claims, means resources can go into “the long, slow projects” such... Read More

‘It was brilliant and gave me a lot more than I was expecting. A great healing tool!’ Katie Worsdall – Yoga Teacher. What did you like about the course: ‘Everything.’ Jerry Lunn – Consultant, Upstream Oil and Gas Exploration. What did you like about the course: ‘The flow. It was gentle but boundaried. I felt safe in pushing through my boundaries.’ Ranjit Mann – Psychologist. What did you like about the course: ‘I learnt that safety is a body sensation: often in workshops safety is created by words and group contracts. Here I didn’t need those, just the mentors’ body presence was enough to tell my nervous system the message of safety. For the first time in my... Read More
Self Regulation In TRE: Cheda Mikic

The focus of our last TRE class was on self-regulation and the way it leads to self-empowerment. The path of discovery through self-regulation and self-empowerment is essential not only in our inner search, healing and integration, but in every aspect of our lives: within family, in our work, in all our social interactions. Over the last twenty years of studying, practicing and teaching in the field of alternative medicine, I have often come across ideas of self-regulation and self-empowerment in a mental and esoteric context. Lately, working with trauma and TRE, my understanding of both shifted profoundly to a much simpler point of reference – our own body! So what exactly... Read More
