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
I just tried it for the first time in my life. The session lasted around seven minutes. My whole body—even up to my head—was in a massive convulsion for the last one to two minutes. Then it stopped entirely, so I ended the session.
Here’s the video I leaned TRE from.
That’s the video that got me into it! It’s my favorite practice for deep relaxation and increased energy flow.
I don’t think any sub could replace TRE or even mimic its effects. However, I believe Earth facilitated the session. Towards the end, it almost felt as if I were having a seizure attack. My body feels grateful for the session. I will definitely stick to TRE for some time.
Thanks @anon15812918
Is a universal exercise, or should I try some other?
No that’s the one main TRE exercise, there’s a few simple leg exercises they teach in official TRE as a preparation for this one but it’s only meant to make the leg muscles tired for increased tremors on the final exercise, I never did them, I go straight to this lying down position and it works perfectly.
The exercises don’t really matter, they are just a tool to induce the tremors. Tremors is the main thing, how you induce them - doesn’t matter. The exercises are just aimed at fatiguing certain muscles which fasciliate the tremors. With time, you’ll learn to trigger the tremors even without the exercises
I’d recommend to keep doing the exercise for the first few weeks until you really know what neurogenic tremors feel like and can trigger them without exercises
That indicates a lot of trauma (both lifetime and generational) and a lot of improvements ahead of you. A healthy, trauma-free person should be able to easily do 30+ min sessions, with minimal tremors. Don’t force the session time though, your tolerance will increase naturally
Over time, you will find your energy levels massively higher, mood better and stable, and you will release trauma, instead of just learning to live with it
There is a ton of benefits to this practice, naming them all would take a while lol. I believe traumas can stop us for progressing in almost all areas of life
I recommend reading through this wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/longtermTRE/wiki/index/
Thanks, man. I think I’ve never felt that good in my body like I do this morning.
When I woke up to go to the toilet last night, I felt tingling from my hands to shoulders (I still do a bit), at my belly (the most-actuallly it felt more like releaing here), and a tiny bit in my right hemisphere.
I was born a left-hander but then forced to use my right hand. My handwriting is terrible, and I’m not too dexterous.
I’m planning on using boading balls to improve that.
Glad it works so fast for you
Yeah, feeling good in the body is another thing that will become a constant over time
I never experienced it under a trained professional so I don’t have a good idea if TRE works or not. But doing it on my own it wasn’t something that I felt helped me.
It’s so easy to overdo it. Yesterday, I did it again instead of taking a day off as recommended, and now I’m experiencing symptoms similar to recon, like a slight headache and being slightly irritable.
Take it easy, guys.
Edit:
Don’t get me wrong—the level of ease and strength I feel in my body is still great. It’s just that you need to give your system enough time to integrate the changes, just like with subs.
Yep, if I overdo it, I have insane anxiety, apathy and exhaustion. It can produce real recon too where you actually have some issues brought up to your conscious mind
With time, your tolerance will increase, just like with subs. But, before it happens, it actually might decrease too. So yeah, listen to your body, take rest days as needed. Treat it like subs lol
Yes, I’m noticing ‘ugly’ feelings and thoughts surfacing. It may be because my body is so relaxed and I feel so strong in it. I believe that the energy that once went into the trauma is now being channeled into these feelings and thoughts.
I feel that could be the case if I weren’t running Earth and listening to Focus 10 Tape #2. I’ve just bought 3 kg of walnuts to support my nervous system’s regeneration.
It’s just bizarre how little information there is about TRE, and how some sources try to discredit it. There are lots of assumptions used to do that, like here:
The tremors induced by the exercises are simply a natural response to muscle fatigue; they are an annoying side effect of strenuous exercise and they have no documented benefits
That’s an obvious fallacy to me, since the tremors in my body start within three seconds of doing a wall sit, and then build quickly when I do the main exercise. Moreover, they spread throughout my whole body, even to muscles that weren’t exercised at all.
My results have been great—I feel utterly calm, with no somatic reactivity. I’m grounded and non-attached. I don’t need external documentation to prove that, because this is my lived experience thanks to TRE.
It’s a pity they try to discredit it.
Just like with a lot of stuff that works 
If you want some resources on TRE, I recommend reading Berceli books. “The revolutionary trauma and tension relief exercises” and “shake it off naturally”
