For me, I am not in the mood to focus on anything else, when I’m shaking like crazy.
I do get bored after the first few minutes. But i just stick with it
Maybe you can try doing something else during your tre session today.
I will also try to watch a podcast or soemthin
Did not know Bercelli had ever said that. Sounds surprising.
I took some sessions with an official TRE provide and she was adamant about not disociating during sessions.
Me neither, It would be interesting to have a quote of him saying it.
Similar experience here… Not controlling the experience, but observing it. aware of your body and how it responds.
For me its like an experiment, I don’t particularly Care if you’re supposed to listen to videos or not
So, I listened to Videos on headphone during TRE today,
As long as I don’t use my hands to scroll through the phone, And just listening through headphones. It did not affect me much.
The session went smoothly for 30 minutes. I even almost fell asleep after that.
The last time I tried to scroll through the phone with my hand maybe that’s why my session ended quickly.
I would encourage the others to experiment for themselves and come to their own conclusions. No matter what anyone says.
I guess I never thought of it. I have tried to actively release as I would do TRE. But it just wasn’t something that resonated.
I finally did a session two nights ago. I tried to meditate I think and then I decided to just do connected breathing. Where it’s just like circular, no pauses between breaths it’s just one smooth continuous cycle. I really like that. Just normal paced breathing and watching the breath.
I also use this thing called a sacro-wedgy and stillpoint inducer. The sacro wedgy goes under the sacrum. It kind of elevates it and the idea is that it’s for back pain relief via releasing the psoas muscles. And the still point inducer is like this little headrest that goes on your suboccipital muscles. So between the two they say it’s also like a very light traction for the spine. Like craniosacral therapy or something. Between the two I just lay on those and after a few minutes I end up getting the TRE for like 20 mins. That’s how long of sessions I do. For me it doubles as potential back pain relief while I’m getting the TRE.
Seems like TRE is THE thing to combine with subliminals
Is an hour a day of TRE too much?
I’m pretty good at handling heavy emotional/mental workloads and have been using subs since 2018 (subclub since 2022) so I’m used to recon too.
Depends entirely on your nervous system. Try it and see
There’s rarely an emotional response with TRE anyway so being used to recon and handling emotions doesn’t mean much
For me, overdoing manifests as total exhaustion, and sometimes anxiety. My sweet spot is around 10 min every few days currently, otherwise I can’t function. For some, it’s too much, for others 1 hour daily is no problem
And keep in mind that you can’t power through it, your durations may both fall or increase just naturally, it’s something you have to accept - or else, in the best case scenario, the tremors will just become ineffective. And in the worst, you will fuck up your life for a while lol.
Some dude on reddit tried doing 1.5 hours of TRE daily hoping to make faster progress, now deals with insane anxiety, exhaustion, constant tremoring, had to quit uni and “shatter his life plans”. It’s been quite a while and he still can’t recover from that, though there are some nuances to his story.
As far as I understand, the speed of progress is generally the same for someone who has a sweet spot of 10 minutes per day and 1 hour per day, for example
It is not recommended to do 1 hour, especially if beginner. Just google it bro, it’s all there.
You don’t want to ”try it and see” 1 hour of TRE. Because these things are not that innocent, some people get messed up bad on TRE.
Why the sudden need to do 1 hr sessions?
You can ask this question on Reddit community called longtermTRE
I see, fair enough, curious that this is the case. I’ll look for my sweet spot.
I will do, I think I’m being too impatient. There’s definitely progress with less but I guess I’m trying to see what the sweet spot is
Funnily enough I saw a guy who did 4.5 hours a day on that sub Reddit but did yoga nidra practice after, which allowed him to assimilate everything faster that in a way encouraged me to do one hour.
I’ll lower the time though.
I did 40 mins yesterday, I feel lighter and a bit more irritable and can sense anxiety in my body more but nothing too dramatic yet
I’ve gone down to whatever just feels right as opposed to a set time.
Thanks everyone for your input.
I just watched the video on TRE Exercises they are just a bunch of stretches lol, you will get this in gymnastics class or before football training. Nothing special about it.
Yoga is the most conducive thing I have ever been initiated into as far as the body is concerned.
You misunderstand it
TRE is a set of exercises to induce neurogenic tremors. The exercises themselves don’t matter, it’s just a crutch to induce the tremors
You just have misunderstood, TRE is all about the tremors/shaking. Whatever exercise they do, it’s to induce the shaking process or intensity.
You watched the warm up video.
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.
