Inaugural Community Shake of 2021

Yesterday, we had our first community TRE® shake for this year. Last year, we ran one for every full moon, from about May till December, but the shifting days were a bit disruptive for us.

So this year, we finally settled on running them on the last Sunday of every month. This way, we can plan our dates ahead, and anyone who would like to make a regular date with us for a group shake can too!

A Cosy Group

Given the short run up time from our announcement of the event, we had a rather small turn out, which made for a very cosy start of our series. It meant we had a chance to take the time to share where we were before the shake, set intentions for what we hoped to release during the shake and also to share where we found ourselves post-shake.

It felt incredibly safe and intimate and I think that affected the quality of shake I had myself.

We all found that we had each experienced something new or unexpected in our shake given the new context, and my shake had such a profound effect on me that I found myself knocked out an hour later! That hasn’t happened for a while!

How does your system respond differently when you do TRE® in a group to when you do your shake alone?

How the Session Ran

Our attendee was someone who hadn’t done very much TRE® previously, so I guided a short stretching session before we got into the tremoring to make sure that she could access the tremor experience.

I was also aware of keeping an eye on what was going on with her and keeping a conversation going so that she could feel safe to speak up, and also so that she have suggestions for different things she could try during her shake.

I learned that my body was willing and able to do some pretty cool things even though my mind was also focused onward. My spine went into a flex / stretch that felt marvellous and I also experienced a heat release from my sacrum at one point. And, like I said, a hour after the shake, my system knocked me out for a good 45 minutes It was brilliant!

Today, my system is still in clearing mode with a runny nose, but I really felt connected with why I think having access to TRE® is so essential, and why having a routine of using it for self-care is so supportive for the wellness of our systems.

When Would You Like The Monthly TRE® Shake To Be?

TRE4Life Community Shakes 2021

That’s right!

Last year, around this time, we decided to start hosting free Full Moon Shakes for TRE® Providers to get together, shake together and support each other through a stressful year.

This year we want to make the offer even bigger: so long as you know TRE® and are comfortable to self-regulate, come and do a shake with us!

We want to support your self-care

In the wake of the ineffability of 2020, remembering to take care of ourselves so that we can bolster our own capacity for resilience and to be there for those who need us is more important than ever. Things are still uncertain and while there is hope on the horizon, for many of us, the light at the end of the tunnel might still feel a bit far off to be heaving sighs of relief just yet.

That is why we want to offer again this year to host a space for anyone who wants a timeout, a safe space to be with others who are also open, caring, empathic individuals; a time when there is no pressure and no expectations beyond respecting that you are taking time to take care of yourself while knowing that you’re among kindred spirits.

This year, we’re making it easier for everyone to remember when our sessions run by having them on every last Sunday of each calendar month at the same time:

SG (GMT+8) 5pm

The person who always has the power to change your life is the one who looks back at you from the mirror each morning.

Take care of that person, always.

Flow of a Session

Brief Meet-N-Greet & Intention Setting

We would like to encourage networking and connecting between all practitioners of TRE® and so we want to give you a chance to introduce yourself briefly and to perhaps state the intention you wish to declare for your shake session.

A 20-minute Timed Shake

Eric and I will provide the timing frame for the session and occasional time check-ins, but no provision beyond that.
If the group is open to it on that day, we might encourage in-shake sharing about what we notice is happening with our systems, or perhaps something we feel moved to try. We might also use music for some sessions… Who knows? We’re open to letting the feel of the group dictate the session!

3-min Integration

Eric or I will time a 3-minute integration in silence so that you can be sure to have time to let your system settle and for you to check in with what has shifted during the session.

Sharing Reflections &
Self-Acknowledgement

As practitioners of TRE®, we know that giving the words to our experience can be important as part of integration and in support of whatever our system has brought up for processing, so we want to make sure there is time for this. We also want to remind everyone that acknowledging ourselves for showing up for our own self-care is also important!
