So we just finished class one. I hope you went well. Again, Reach out to me if you have any questions. Our confusions about it. First of all, Easy for you to get or was it hard? Most people tend to get it by the first class. Some, Though, Can take a handful of classes, So if that's you, No worries. Really keep going into those foundational See if you can move through that moving meditation. Of tuning in and do it. And keep trying it in different parts of the body. See if you can. Relax even more, Surrender even more, Move even more slowly. And it's important not to be in a rush to get it. Know that that moving meditation of whatever part of the body we're moving to try to find some tremors. That in and of itself is powerful for your soma, For your. . . Internal. Awareness to do to Start to soften and to tune into tensions in your body. So we can always go deeper with shaking, Of course. That's why we'll do multiple classes. It's all about cultivating a relationship with this mechanism. Over time, Peeling away a little layer of the onion each time, Each day, However often you might want to practice. And if it is taking you a few tries, Then continue on to class two and see if you can. Kind of just keep softening into it and in class too it's a little more of an active class actually some people can get it more easily in an active class because the muscles will physically tire out more And if you've ever lifted weights or done strong yoga classes or anything, You'll know when the muscles get tired, They start tremoring. And this is a beautiful pathway to really turn that. On and to start accessing therapeutic trimming or to like start there and then allow it to to move more internally as we soften into that and allow that to be what stimulates us to access therapeutic tumors. So you can use that to access it for the first time. Or ongoing, You can use it as another tool to kind of go deeper in your practice as well. So. There's so many things we can feel in the physical body. The movements can be subtle. They can be so slow that you barely even see the tremors, Almost more like an internal. Vibrating of energy, Or it can be quite expressive and big, And it can oscillate between the two. Sometimes it can be isolated on one side, Maybe one side of your body or leg or something shakes more than the other. It can start to eventually go into waves or rhythms as well, And not just shaking sometimes. It like shakes and then has the bumps and the blockages. Get worked out, It might start going more like a dance or like a waving sometimes. And note the cycles. There's no right or wrong if we really surrender to it. Eventually that waving that might have manifested. Will bring up another blockage, And then it'll go into like, Oh, Something there is wanting to. . . To release, For example. It can be tremoring, Quaking. Trembling, It can be like it might start a little bit and then stop, And then we move through the moving meditation, Tune in again, It starts for a little bit. Maybe it's like Morse code, Like and it goes again. That idea of pandiculation we talked about. When we're really surrendered and moving from our intuition, Letting this move us instead of our mind. That can also go into our body wanting to pendiculate or stretch. Twist. And make kind of movements in that way. It's like holds or even tensing like the body might. Tints a little bit, Probably heard of tetna. Maybe you've heard of tetanus where you tense, But as long as it's not painful, Hold with that energy if it does. It's the body physiologically saying, Oh, There's something here to let go of, To strengthen maybe. To let tire out so it can then dissolve and let go. So be with it, Whatever arises. Present with it. It's this idea of We don't want to hide from this stuff or avoid it or attach to it. If something arises, Whether it's a physical sensation, It could be. . . A more energetic or emotional sensation or a thought Be with it. Accept it. Allow it to be there. Breathe through it and soften into it. And neither trying to make it go away or attach to it. If your body's still tremoring, Allow it to tremor through it and eventually. . . Through the presence of it, The acceptance of it, It'll start to let go and dissolve. So it can feel like an internal vibration, A buzzing, An electricity, A warmth. It can make you soften. It can make you expand. Things like yawning, Physiological things, As your body relaxes, Right? Eyes can move further. Fingers can move, Gurgling, Burps, Farts, Digestive sounds. Your breath might deepen or become more shallow. You might feel more vibrant and energetic. You might also feel more resting, Especially if you're. . . Not well rested, It can bring you into the present. Real feeling of, Hey, I'm not rested. My body needs to take a nap. It can do that. Sounds can come out. You might make animal noises. Emotions, Any kind of emotional sounds especially. Allow it. That's the body. You know, We're so sometimes like closed off in our world. We need to let it. Let it go. If you feel sensations of sadness, Let yourself cry if you If you feel anger, Like. . . Let that be part of the journey, The process. So the trimmer, As I said in the classic, Can kind of. . . That's which I'm working kind of. Awaken the. . . Furs and stuff within. And as it surfaces and moves through us. We become aware of it and we can be with it and we can let it go. And part of the letting go is actually expressing these things sometimes. The tremoring is. . . A big expression of moving energy. So use it to. . . In conjunction with tuning into it. Grief or sadness or anger or happiness even. Whatever it is. Allow these sounds and such to go through. This work, We're toning and purifying the body. So it's not always peaches and roses. It can be like. . . Uncomfortable sometimes to actually sit with what comes up. When stuff within us, Within our physical body, Within our subconscious. . . When it starts unsticking and unfreezing. . . We might become aware of it, We might feel it. Enjoy that process. It can be enjoyable to know that on the other end of this, I'm more free. I have less baggage within. And for me, At least, I find that extraordinarily. Fun and exciting and enjoy it. Some of the process might be feeling an ache in the body. On a safest level, Isn't, Say, Beautiful, But. . . I'm not causing a new ache. I'm like, Whoa, I'm feeling an ache that's already there. I don't want to live with that and hold on to that. So let's. . . Let it go, Let's trim it through it, Allow the softening. A lot of ache to go, The stuff coming up. The yogis and the Taoists, They've been doing this. I'm really inspired from these cultures. There's a lot to say about it from these cultures, Although I'm not attached to any one culture. I like to learn from all the cultures and to bring that into this modality. A scientific. . . Well, Actually, Let me add. Indigenous cultures as well, Like the Kalahari Bushmen is a big inspiration, Along with yogis and Taoists. For now, I want to give a scientific explanation. So this evolved over a long time. Inner nervous system as a way for us to come out of fight and flight into rest and digest. So that's out of. . . Our sympathetic nervous system response to our parasympathetic. And it's in the parasympathetic where All our more healing health and well-being functions really work well. And if we're chronically stressed out, Living in fight and flight. These aren't going to be working so well, Right? So we need to be in rest and digest. To live an optimal life, A healthy life. A vibrant life. And so it literally vibrates us and kind of shakes us into homeostasis. Into being into just being, Into presence, Groundedness, Out of worry and anxiety and into. . . Here into your core. Into beingness, And that's very healthy to do. So the real value in this is the peace it will bring you, The joy, The presence, Balance. And the loving energy, My experience is it really brings me to my heart. And to be able to share that kind of loving energy. On a course like this or with others that I interact with so it really benefits relationships Intimacy, Pleasure. Health and well-being. It really benefits. . . Any physical practice you have, Like I'm a big yogi, I love to do Ashtanga yoga, And it completely helps me to. . . Recenter after a pretty strenuous exercise program, And to quickly come back into relaxation, Homeostasis, So I can do more of what I love to do. Um. . . As you embody this more and more, You're cultivating a relationship with it. You're understanding your instinct better and allowing that to move you more and more. And in that cultivation of it, You'll just instinctively know. When to use it in your life, It'll become more of a happening than a doing. And that's part of the process, Even tuning into an instinctive mechanism if you're so tuned out of it. Then it might take a while to really land with it. And to be able to use it. When and how you need to use it in your life, Whether that's you have a stressful situation, A traumatic event, And then as soon as you're safe you can go use it to kind of come back. Can use it like that or after a strenuous workout or. . . At work to help your productivity, Whatever it is, There's so many. . . Applications there. So yeah, Use it to improve the things you love to do in life. Again, Reach out to me if you have questions so far. I'm happy to help. And. . . Yeah, When you're ready, When you feel grounded. And centered and ready to do another one, Whether it's the next day from class one or a few days later. Then jump into it. And I will see you there in class two up next.
