This is an exercise technique that activates a specific involuntary response in our brain stem that allows us to relax back into a state of homeostasis after stress by releasing frozen tension and restoring nervous system balance. We store frozen trauma and stressful experiences in the psoas muscle. Whenever we find ourselves in a stressful experience we cannot escape by fighting or running away, our nervous system automatically switches to the freeze response. Tension stays frozen there until we release it. The exercise is perfect if you’re ready to release everyday stress and very, very helpful for trauma survivors, especially soldiers who’ve been in combat or people with CPTSD. Your muscles will shake, and that’s a good thing; you’re shaking off nervous tension to a rebalanced state of relaxation. I did this very short technique and felt very refreshed and relaxed. I experienced some tenderness afterwards and needed to have a nap and a massage. Supportive touch was very important. If you decide to do this exercise and want or need facilitation and support, a solid grounding practice will help integrate and massage, energy work or, certified TRE practitioners are available all over the world. If you want to skip right to the exercise, start the video at 4:21 minutes. Cheers!

Pluto Goes Direct-The Relief of Clarity-You've Got The Power
Pluto, the planet with the energy to transform bitterness and vengeance to true power, goes direct in a few days ¹, so we’re sitting in a pile of bile until there’s movement on Thursday. Be gentle with yourself and others. Try to have a good day, don’t overthink or obsess if it leads to misery. And if you can’t have a good day, don’t spread your misery. Take advantage of this energy to get to the bottom of what’s really bothering you and get crystal clear about what you've been trying to achieve. It’s time to know what's beneath it, what you really want and whether your focus is on the mark or not. Bonus lesson points: Only you can decide to make it happen. What you focus on is what you see. What you’re working for is what you get. Extra credit: Let the obsession with bile point the way out of trouble instead of towards it. Practice flipping off misery with bitter comedy and let the laugh linger, not the bile. Extra, extra angel credit: Be patient with our fellow humans, who are learning the same tough lessons. Be grateful for those who are patient with you.
Imagine all that’s weighing you down-totally dislodging-all the way from your point of view to the tips of your toes. Have a good stretch and stay loose. When Pluto goes direct on Thursday we’ll feel more clear and strong. It will be time to 'release and flush' the albatross of misery, if we choose. ¹ I'm feeling bitter that misery seems to win all the time, still, I take comfort knowing that energy follows focus and sooner or later, we’ll learn to respect this natural law just like gravity and stop thrashing about against it and finally thrive.
When the planet of the sustained efforts needed to create something in reality-Saturn-moves into Capricorn on December 19th, it will initiate a new 2.5 year work cycle to build something that’s meaningful and built to last. ² The karma master will support us to follow natural law and thrive if we work for it. Mars' 2 year warrior mission to provide fuel to fully express our power among our peers, aids us, and also hints at a time table for accomplishment. I wish us all tons of strength and the softness and intelligence to ground our healthy goals in pleasurable satisfaction.
