It’s good stuff. :blush: 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! :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

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
