Explore a unique physiological approach to healing that activates your body’s natural reflexes to alleviate deeply held stress, tension, and trauma — while bolstering your built-in capacity for regulating your own wellbeing.
Imagine moving through painful trauma, stress, and tension, and discovering a heightened state of wellbeing, ease, and joy...
You were designed to naturally live free of painful emotions and trauma... and your body’s natural reflexes may hold the key, says Steve Haines, a teacher of Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), a gentle therapeutic technique that has helped thousands of people around the world.
TRE assists the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma, which calms down the nervous system. After doing TRE, many people have reported feelings of peace and wellbeing.
Numerous healing modalities focus primarily on the mental or emotional causes of trauma, requiring that you relive or understand the associated stress and pain as a means to overcome it...
In contrast, TRE engages your primitive reflexes to reveal where trauma is residing in your body. You then “shake it out,” releasing long-held tension patterns and experiencing feelings of connection and peace.
During this free experiential workshop with Steve, you’ll explore how harnessing the power of your reflexes can release trauma and neutralize your own fear-based patterns while calming your nervous system and easing your body back into a state of balance.
You’ll experience the effectiveness of TRE firsthand, and participate in a moving meditation that will wake up your body and connect you to yourself in a new way, enabling you to embrace feelings without being dominated by them.
According to Steve, our fear of feeling our feelings leads to dissociation with ourselves, which can result in the development of chronic pains and addictions. He affirms that you need to feel to heal.
“Shaking” opens you up to the complex world of feelings. Through TRE, you develop the ability to regulate intense feelings, putting you back in control...
... and helping you live with a sense of ease, joy, love, and connection.
In this empowering free online event, you’ll explore:
- A “shaking meditation” that can help you experience your body in a new, empowered way
- Why TRE is a simple and effective somatic practice that harnesses the power of your primitive reflexes to release stress, tension, and trauma in all levels of your being
- How overactive fight-or-flight responses hijack mental, emotional, and physical functions — and how you can begin to disrupt this unhealthy pattern
- Why experiencing feelings as sensations rather than emotions neutralizes fear-based patterns while amplifying your built-in ability to regulate your own wellbeing and avoid feeling overwhelmed
- How you can learn to overcome trauma without having to talk it out or understand why it happened
TRE is based on the growing scientific understanding that all trauma is a byproduct of fear that is triggered by self-perceived threats or danger.
Using a series of exercises that target specific muscles throughout your body, TRE brings deeply held trauma to the surface where it can be released through your natural reflexes...
... while also assisting in rebooting the brain patterns that trigger fear and pain responses, providing a sense of mental and emotional safety as you move through the world.
Steve will gently teach you how to fully experience the sensations in your body and not be consumed by your thoughts about those feelings.
Once you learn TRE, he affirms, it’s as comforting as rocking gently in a rocking chair or swinging peacefully in a hammock on a lazy afternoon.
He’ll also share the modern science and ancient roots of TRE — from its role in the animal kingdom and natural world to the dance practices of the mystics.
With a background in yoga, Shiatsu, and biodynamic craniosacral therapy, Steve’s integrative approach to TRE has helped thousands around the world shake out of overactive fight-or-flight patterns and into their natural, joyous state.
During the event, you’ll also learn more about Steve’s upcoming 7-week course on how to optimize and sustain your health on all levels of your being with integrated TRE — for a life of freedom, ease, and joy.
