Where is the real video? What I saw where just stretches I used the video that was shared here.
Now I’m not saying other things like Yoga don’t induce tremors/shaking. But for TRE it’s the main purpose.
I personally shake alot doing Zhang Zhuang. At first I thought I was weak in the legs. But after being exposed to TRE I think I’m shaking to release tension. So Zhang Zhuang is making me tremor so I stand wu-wei style, effortless.
I have never had tremors and shaking from yoga but I had intense experiences of bliss, ecstatic laughter, tears, people jumping and the body moving in uncontrollable ways but this was induced through energy solely.
I will read the reddit but where do I find the exercise that induces the tremors? I want to try it and see if it is of any benefit for me and whatever condition is ailing me.
Anyhow my understanding is clear the mind rules all, all conditions can be cured and alleviated in the mind. If the mind is at the source of something and actively creating a tension it will not be alleviated by anything unless the true source and cause it removed. Perhaps it can be temporarily be reduced or offset but never completely eradicated.
Also I do not have muscle tensions whatsoever I have nervous tensions and some odd problem with blood flow that is very likely psychological in nature, and or energy blockage related.
Energy body is the superstructure on top of the physical one and directly impacts all other structures and organs of the physical body.
Alright brotherman.
So first you do a set of stretching/tiring exercises who’s purpose is to tire and relax the legs a bit. Then you get into the tremor-pose. Which is where the main deal is.
You can find videos on yt. Example this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QoB9wpuO688&pp=ygULdHJlIGJlcmNlbGk%3D
Also there is no one tremor pose, you listen to the body, and let it do its thing. But generally the tremor pose looks something like 7.
Thanks @anon15812918 some very interesting information here.
“ Understanding Trauma
When people hear the word “trauma,” they often think of extreme events—violence, abuse, accidents, or war. This is the mainstream view, commonly shared by health professionals, which defines psychological trauma as a response to deeply distressing events that threaten a person’s life or safety. However, this definition overlooks a crucial aspect of how trauma actually works.
To better understand trauma, let’s take a look at animals in the wild. Impalas, for example, live under constant threat from predators like tigers, yet they don’t develop PTSD. Why? Because after a life-threatening event—like being chased—they instinctively shake off the excess energy that their nervous system generated to escape. This shaking allows them to reset their system and return to normal as if nothing happened.
Even if an impala is caught by a predator, it undergoes a natural shutdown response where its heart rate and breathing slow down drastically—this is the body’s way of numbing pain and simulating death to deter the predator. If the predator loses interest and walks away, the impala will suddenly snap back into action. It will shake vigorously for up to 30 minutes, fully discharging the leftover stress energy before calmly returning to life as usual.
This natural cycle—activation of the fight-or-flight response, followed by a complete discharge of stress energy—is what keeps animals in balance. They go through these cycles multiple times a day, shaking off tension from minor stressors as well. But humans? We’ve lost this ability.
The Root of Trauma: Trapped Energy
The key takeaway from the impala example is that trauma isn’t necessarily about the event itself, but rather about what happens inside the nervous system. If we can’t complete the natural cycle—if we can’t release the stress energy that was mobilized for survival—it gets trapped. This is how trauma forms.
Unlike animals, humans are often unable to release this built-up energy. Social conditioning, shame, and the demands of modern life force us to suppress natural discharge mechanisms like shaking, crying, or spontaneous movement. Over time, this trapped energy accumulates in the nervous system, leading to chronic stress, tension, and trauma symptoms.
What’s important to understand is that trauma doesn’t always show up immediately after a stressful event. It can remain dormant for years, even decades, only surfacing when triggered by another overwhelming situation. When left unresolved, trauma can impact both physical and mental health in countless ways.
How Trauma Affects the Body and Mind
Trauma manifests in a variety of ways, many of which people don’t immediately recognize as trauma-related. Some common symptoms include:
- Physical symptoms: Chronic tension, headaches, migraines, digestive issues (IBS, ulcers), muscle pain (fibromyalgia), hormonal imbalances, PMS, and autoimmune conditions.
- Mental symptoms: Anxiety, depression, constant worrying, intrusive thoughts, phobias, dissociation, ADD/ADHD, and an overall sense of disconnection from life.
According to trauma expert Peter Levine, all trauma responses share four common elements:
- Hyperarousal – The nervous system remains in a state of heightened alertness, making relaxation difficult.
- Constriction – Muscles and tissues remain tense, reducing the body’s ability to move freely.
- Dissociation – A sense of emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from reality.
- Freezing (immobility) – A feeling of helplessness, where the body gets “stuck” in a survival state.
Trauma Repetition and Healing
One of the most fascinating aspects of trauma is that the nervous system is constantly trying to resolve it—even if we’re not aware of it. This is why many people unconsciously repeat past traumatic patterns. For example, someone who grew up with an alcoholic parent may find themselves repeatedly drawn to relationships with alcoholics. This isn’t just coincidence—it’s the nervous system’s way of seeking an opportunity to complete the unresolved trauma response. Sigmund Freud called this repetition compulsion—the unconscious drive to relive past wounds in an attempt to heal them.
While trauma can feel like a lifelong burden, it also presents an opportunity for deep personal growth. Many people who resolve their trauma experience profound transformations, often developing a newfound sense of spiritual awareness and emotional resilience.
The ability to heal is within us. Just as animals instinctively shake off stress, our bodies also have this built-in mechanism—we just need to learn how to reactivate it. Understanding trauma as trapped energy rather than just a psychological issue gives us new perspectives on how to approach healing and well-being.”
I think I have point 3, emotional numbness and dissociation most of the time. so how I best resolve this?

Do the tremor phase for 15 or so. Start slow, as I don’t know your history of trauma and that’s the official recommendation.

Bro crazy what just happened to me, my entire body start tremoring and shaking I never expected this!

It’s good stuff. 
Remember it’s powerful so don’t go too crazy in the beginning. How do you feel afterwards?
I sometimes feel good afterwards but worse the next day. I think it’s just because of all this held down tension and guards give loose things come out to be processed. So I just process them by good ol’ natural ways, feeling and expressing.

I will add it to my yoga routine for a month and see if it eventually releases the tensions that I have in my head.
The butterfly is already part of the preparatory yoga postures that I do it is very beneficial of releasing energy from the base of the spine.
I am going to research this a bit and keep updating in this thread.
So this is basically the only tremor exercise or is there another one? Anything else you think I should watch?

Let’s go! I got back into it too.
I’m having these crazy obsessive thoughts of running HLTB: Earth with this. It might go boom!

As far as I know, yes. I’m new to this too.
I would watch a couple videos where Berceli guides someone with this process. Because I find he gives pointers or suggestions for adjusting the body and it helps me understand there is an intuitive part to this process and listening to the body.
It might not get to the head in month. It’s been close to a year for me and I’m only now noticing decrease in tension in the head. Coincidentally, it cured my headaches - I had them very often, multiple times per week and now I don’t have them anymore at all! I mostly tremor in the upper body now, though
It’s good that you are tremoring already easily. Don’t go overboard, especially with your sensitivity to subs
Read the wiki I sent, especially the self pacing article
If you got tremors, you don’t need anything else. Exercises are there to induce them because most people can’t do it easily. With time you won’t even need the exercises
Give it time, it’s very long term thing. 4-8 years on average for clearing all trauma (both lifetime and generational)

Oh yes, go careful if your sensitive. I keep warning you because I’m overprotective. But now I’m going to stop. Lol
On the other topic, I don’t know if it’s a great idea, but I tried a trick to get the tremor to travel up. I don’t know if it’s a good idea as you will eventually naturally get up the body and even up and down. It’s the body that knows and decides what it needs, don’t let ego interfere.
But this experimental thing I did was having right hand to the left shoulder, and vice versa with the left hand. Kinda like the dudes and dudettes in a sarcophagus. Try it out @anon15812918

I’ve done some similar things but I can’t really guide tremors well, I feel like I’m subconsciously influencing them in a way that I want them to be, so to speak
So I just trust the body and relax fully. Oftentimes I’m even listening something in the background to be completely distracted from TRE as per Berceli recommendations

Okay so this is what I was wondering I only get the tremors and shaking in the lower part of the body, so eventually it will move upwards?
For me the tremors came instantly, very intense shaking, was very surprised lol.
Yes, exactly.
That indicates a lot of trauma stored in your nervous system and a lot of work to be done. No wonder your nervous system is so responsive to subs. Ideally, you’d want to hold back with Yoga and similar practices and focus on TRE solely for a while but if yoga works well for you already, just make sure to listen to your body
Maybe try together with KHAN Black Stage 1 first?
The tremoring feels very similar to the tension release and trapped energy release of the cleaning of the energy channels that happens by KHAN Black Stage 1, as well as when consciously releasing trauma when working with techniques like EFT, EMDR, TFT etc.

Yeah I bet they are similar. I felt tremoring doing Zhang Zhuang with KB1
