Have had great progress with the TRE exercises, it's just been an awesome way to release some deep stress that's been locked up inside my body. Every time I do it, my body starts to shake in different parts and just want to get rid of the tension and afterwards I just feel relaxed. It also led me to start releasing tension in my neck, and afterwards my mind just felt clear and like normal.
Still some healing to be done in my heart area and I think that E2 is still in progress of the healing here. I can feel "something" that is going on in the area, slowly and gently, but still. I have had much stress for a long time and the issue really had to be dealt with in a slow pace as I was so sensitive to anything but I think that it's really working. Also today I could go out for a run and only stop 1 time in a 5k, and just feel present during the whole run, rather than loosing it halfway through and just get dizzy, so that is definitely some progress.
I started to do some meditation a couple days ago and plan to incorporate it in my daily routine which feels as the right thing to do at this time.
PS. For anyone who haven't heard about TRE exercises it's basically a way to put your body into "stress relief-mode" by first doing some exercises to loosen up your muscles, inspired from Yoga and Tai Chi, and then just laying on your back and allowing your body to start shaking (which it does), starting from your pelvis and legs. When it starts it's just going along with it and it feels quiet relaxing and nice even in the moment
You know, like the way you start shaking when you are really tired in the legs for example, it's the same thing, but you do it laying on your back. It's really a natural reaction that animals release stress by, but because of that it may seem socially "weird" to shake or to show fear by shaking, we instead "suck it up" and we store that tension inside the body (energy have to go somewhere, right?) and with the exercises you allow your body a safe way to release all that stored up tension.
