Using Neurogenic Tremors & Yoga to Bring Wholeness to the Mind & Recover the Nervous System
Life has a way of getting the better of us at times. Whether it is constant stress that piles up, feeling left behind from rapid change, or it’s a shock to the system that never quite leaves us the same afterwards, the very act of living life can be like moving ahead with a part of ourselves missing. Yoga is one tool for living more whole. Yoga is great at releasing stress and calming the nervous system. Another tool is Nuerogenic Shaking which releases the deeper holding in the nervous system. Nuerogenic Yoga is a modality that comes out of TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), but works via a greater variety of Nervous System modes.
This series will explore and deepen your use of these tools to bring you new horizons, clarity of mind, and freedom of being. Unprocessed events hold themselves in the body and thus we will guide you on your journey through the body to clear out where you’ve felt stuck. This will take place in nine sessions: Four Primary Sessions of 2 to 2.5 hours and 5 “Tune Up” Sessions (that will be with the public class). You can sign up here.
Tune Up 1 : Introducing Neurogenic Tremors July 23rd, 6:30 - 8:30pm
In this session, we will introduce you to the process of Neurogenic Tremoring with the easiest access point of using the Trauma Release Exercises. This will prepare your Nervous System for other, more nuanced capacities for your nervous system to release old patterns that will follow.
Primary Session 1 : “Letting Go of the Story” SUN July 26th, 2:30 - 5pm
Easier said than done, we know. If yoga teaches us anything, it’s that rather than command your mind to do something (like “let it go”), it will often be more proficient to work it through the body. This is exactly what we will do in this week. Modern Research suggests what yogis and embodiment workers have known for a long time…. that dwelling on the past and old stories often not only doesn’t help, but it can reinforce unhealthy patterns. In this session, we will unstick the story at it’s point of anchor. The need to control vs. our capacity to be in connection.
(NOTE: Do not consider these sessions a substitute for therapy. These sessions may complement clinical sessions, but as always, if you have concerns or have been in or recommended medical mental health care, consult your medical professional).
Tune Up 2 : Activate THR August 6th, 6:30 - 8pm
Enhancing our first main session, we will also let go of our limited stories better through involving the body. In this session, we will learn to do exactly this with the body… to let the old stuff go.
Primary 2 : “Open to the Organic” SUN Aug 16th, 2:30 - 5pm
Once we establish homeostasis in the nervous system, we are ready to explore the disconnect between our self sense and the human organism. This disconnect is often the cause of our holding onto past wounds and lack of processing. When we clear the nervous system, and come into attune-ment with the inner organism, we can begin to integrate the parts of us that have been cut off. The more alienated parts we can bring back into the fold, we become more than the sum of our parts. We become more whole.
Tune Up 3 : Flow More THR Sept 3rd, 6:30 - 8pm
By going into extraordinary states of the nervous system that move it towards regulation, we learn to let the old stuff go. We will tune up the flow established in Primary Session 2.
Primary 3 : “Befriending the Other” SUN Sept 20th, 2:30 - 5pm
Only once we open to Spanda, the organic rhythms that permeate us, can it be accessible to bring the blind spots and alienated parts of ourselves back online. Now that we have set up these processes in our past two sessions, we will now dive into the felt sense of what is incomplete. Incompleteness cannot integrate incompleteness. This is why Sessions 1 & 2 are essential. From our wholeness and attunement to the inner organism, we can reach out and include more.
Tune Up 4 : Shifting Down to Chill THR Oct 1st, 6:30 - 8pm
The depths of the Nervous System are released when we can downshift into release. We will now use the tools established in other sessions to let go into the chill mode of the nervous system.
Session 4 : “Reconnect to Self, Re-Enchant Reality” SAT Oct 10th, Noon - 3pm
The more deeply we get into rhythm with ourselves, and make ourselves whole, the bigger, brighter, better we can be in the world. We can Re-Enchant Reality. Whether you call this Wonder, Mystery, Divine, Love, or anything else, it is the entire purpose of the journey. The journey begets enchantment with reality itself. This session will be treated like the end of the journey with the December Session treated as the encore.
Tune Up 5 : Go Wild THR Oct 29th, 6:30 - 8pm
We return where we began, with a session focused on the wildness of the inner organism.
