The Presence Process: Breathe To Feel, Feel To Heal

Our breathing is vital not just to our life, but to our experience of life. To breathe fully and freely allows us to feel fully and freely, which in turn empowers us to live fully and freely. The powerful intention of this two hour experiential session is to learn how to undo negative conditioning, let go of limiting beliefs and heal all types of trauma by using breathing and feeling to integrate emotional blockages and mental models at the level of sensations in the body. In this deep dive together, Marcus and Teresa will create a safe and contained space to gently explore subtle changes in bodily sensations and their inherent impermanence, using a combination of conscious connected breathing and felt-sense. This is a trauma-informed embodiment technique of connecting with the physical sensations that arise with emotions and learning to surf the emotional waves using practices that include somatic awareness, conscious breathing, resourcing, pendulation and integration. The experience will be set to specially-selected music and guided and facilitated by Marcus and Teresa throughout. This environment relaxes the body and dials down the overthinking part of your brain, enabling you connect to your innate intelligence and wellbeing, to integrate emotional experience, and to increase your capacity for energetic awareness and sensual aliveness. The result? A return to our natural state of wholeness! *The intention is that this will be a joint offering from Marcus and Teresa*

Somatic Shaking: An Introduction to TRE

TRE is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a gentle and natural reflex mechanism of shaking or trembling that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/trembling mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance. Since this somatic tension release mechanism is part of our natural behavior as humans, everyone can benefit from TRE. The tremoring increases the resiliency of the body because it causes deep relaxation that naturally reduces stress levels. It can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety whether it is caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stresses or traumas from accidents or abuse. TRE is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE has helped many thousands of people globally.
