Hello everyone,
My name is Peggy Kukasiang and I'm a somatic practitioner and nervous system guide in Los Angeles,
California.
And today we are exploring releasing stored stress through a tremor and micro movement practice.
And we are exploring something that so many people right now more than ever are carrying in their bodies and that is storage stress and the way that stress has never completed the process and the cycle.
So moments the body moved through but never really fully got released.
So before we get into our posture and our position I want you to just take a moment to fully land where you are and prepare yourself for this 9 to 10 minutes together.
And before we go inward,
I just want you to,
With a lot of deep awareness,
Start to notice your jaw area.
Notice if there's any tension in the jaw.
Bring your focus and attention to your legs and see if there's any restless energy moving through.
Bring your focus to your shoulders and notice if there is any tightness or any holding or stress.
And bring your focus into your hips and the side of your thighs and see if there's any feeling of exhaustion or,
Again,
Holding or tightening.
And go ahead and now just simply feel like you're just scanning your body up and down,
Noticing if your body has been carrying too much.
This practice we're going to be doing together today is not about pushing through anything.
It's about listening and allowing what is deep within to fully complete.
So with that said,
Start to find a comfortable seated position.
Make yourself cozy and know that you're going to be in this position for a little while.
So really set yourself up for success.
And start to take a couple deep long inhales through the nose from your tippy toes all the way to your crown chakra and long release exhale through the mouth.
Inhaling in as you are replenishing and Reconnecting to the body with awareness.
And go ahead and breathe out as you are letting something go.
And you notice in this moment that does not serve.
Feel the support beneath you where you are sitting.
While you're breathing,
Let yourself fully arrive.
And we're just going to do another quick little.
.
.
Scan,
Bringing awareness into the body.
I'm just gonna move you through focusing on these awareness points within.
And we're going to start in the jaw.
And bring your attention to your jaw.
Start to draw the attention into your shoulders.
Into your chest.
Your hands one by one.
Your pelvic floor.
Your legs from bottom down.
And I want to ask you this question right now.
To ask your body.
Body.
Where are you still holding?
Pause and listen.
Where are you still holding?
And as you start to feel an awakening or a way that your body is responding,
I want you to bring your hands in front of you.
However they feel comfortable.
And start to give them a gentle shaking.
Maybe some small movements and keep it small for right now.
Nothing too dramatic.
Maybe like water rolling from your fingertips and just noticing the sensations here.
As you are continuously asking the body from that mantra,
Where are you still holding?
Where am I holding?
Small movements,
Noticing sensations,
Noticing if any warmth starts to activate.
Noticing if energy starts to feel connected.
To that mantra.
Feeling life force energy through your fingers.
And start to move the energy and the movement into the wrists.
And if it feels most comfortable to you,
Keep your eyes closed and just have this internal sensations connected to your experience.
Slow circles,
Intentional.
Allowing the movement to spread.
From your wrists.
Through your hands and now moving upward into your forearms,
Your elbows and your shoulders and just start to give that whole region of your body some movement,
Liquid like,
Like water,
And as you are moving through it,
Notice if your body wants to take a big inhale.
And maybe a deep,
Long release of an exhale.
And as you exhale,
Start to release those shoulders.
A little bit down and lower.
And as we start to slow down the movement in the hands and the arms,
Bring your focus and attention into your shoulders.
I want you to gently lift those shoulders up with your inhale,
And then go ahead and release those shoulders all the way down with your exhale.
Go ahead and lift with your inhale.
And release with your exhale.
One more time.
Inhale,
Deep breath.
And with this next inhale,
Let the shoulders fully drop.
Now just notice while you hold yourself.
Without anything moving.
Notice how your body feels without asking any questions.
Do I feel open?
Do I feel connected?
These are preparatory poses to get fully into the fullness of what we want the body to experience.
So as we step into this next portion,
This is a standing portion.
So I want you to gently stand in front of where you are.
And softly start to bend your knees,
Just a little gentle knee bend.
And allow a tiny bounce.
A very small bounce.
Barely there.
If you still want to stay seated,
You can do this pressing your feet onto the floor.
And then release.
So you can go on the tip of your toes up and then release.
And the goal here is to just find your own body's rhythm.
So it's small,
It's connected,
It's consistent,
It's cohesive in the way that your body is creating your own physical sensation mantra.
So now we're going to just continue to move the body in that way.
I want you to bring awareness to your legs.
And now I want you to just start to just kind of give them a little bit of a shake.
And there is no real right way of doing this other than me guiding you into how your body wants to express itself.
So imagine sending movement through your legs.
If you're sitting down,
You can go ahead and just shake them side to side,
Up and down.
No force,
Only a deeper invitation into what the body is going to share with us through this movement.
And if you are standing up and you want to get back into a seated position,
You're welcome to.
And just bring your feet to the ground and start just tremoring them out.
And notice if any of the tiny tremors start to appear,
Almost like the body is just quivering on its own.
A soft shaking,
Small tiny pulses.
So again,
Your tremoring can be side to side,
It can be up and down,
But it's mostly in the legs.
So it can move up and down from the hip point to your toes.
And just allow what wants to come through.
And if you want to deepen your breath a little bit more to connect to this feeling.
So much of this practice is about giving the body the permission of how it just naturally wants to open and release.
And we're just going to do this for a few more seconds here.
And start to now slowly pause.
And just bring everything back into stillness.
Notice.
Where all of your tension and your tingling And maybe even some of the emotional activation is happening in your body.
If the body feels softer.
Or maybe even charged.
Because finally maybe there's anger or sadness that is surfacing,
That is ready to release.
So your energy is moving.
How it's moving,
We don't always have the same answer.
So continue witnessing.
And as we move into this beautiful posture that I love to use with so many of my clients,
And we're going to bring your hands and arms into a butterfly hug.
We're going to bring the left hand to the right top shoulder.
And then we're going to bring the right hand to the top of the left shoulder.
And as you just are naturally breathing in and out,
I want you to create these alternating taps from your fingertips to your shoulders.
Left,
Up and down.
Right,
Up and down.
Left,
Up and down.
Up and down.
Feel the rhythm.
Feel the holding and just tell the body in this moment.
You have nothing to carry right now.
And you do not have to carry everything alone.
Can you put everything down in this moment?
Everything down.
Everything down.
Take a deep inhale.
And maybe with this exhale,
Really feel the release of anything that you are still holding that you are ready to use your breath to exhale.
Maybe give it some sound,
Maybe give it that relief.
And here,
We're gonna continue to hold this butterfly pose.
You don't have to continue tapping unless you want to,
If that feels really good.
In stimulating the right brain and the left brain by creating this bilateral stimulation.
So I want you to repeat after me if it resonates out loud or internally.
And just repeat softly in a soft manner.
My body remembers.
And just notice how the somatic experience of your body responds to my words.
And when you say the words out loud.
My body releases.
My body is allowed to soften.
I do not need to hold what is complete.
And now rest your hand over your heart.
Feel what is here.
No rushing.
Take this moment to connect your heart to your presence,
To your few last breaths together with me.
And as you bring that long inhale back in,
Slowly exhale and start to bring yourself back into the room.
Gently open your eyes if they were closed.
And orient yourself back into the room you are in.
Feel the gentle return.
And this practice was created to support releasing our stored stress and any unfinished activations held in our bodies.
We don't realize how important and how meaningful micro-movements,
Tremoring,
Grounding,
And self-holding.
Invites the nervous system to regulate and complete.
It's a form of completion.
So the stress areas that we went over today,
The jaw,
The hips,
The shoulders,
A little bit of our entire body.
Holds a lot of our emotions and chronic stress.
So I hope this practice was helpful.
And know that you can always create containment for yourself.
We look to outsource that so much in our life.
And when we start to do these practices,
We don't need to outsource it so much anymore.
And we create healthy attachments and healthy connections for more of a secure position.
I hope you have a blessed rest of your day and then come back to this a few times to see how you feel as you build up this practice in your nervous system.
And notice if you've tried this for five to seven days straight,
What's changed?
What's evolved?
Just from a place of awareness.
All right,
My dears,
I hope you have a blessed rest of your day,
Week,
Month,
Year,
And I look forward to staying connected to you through this app.
Namaste.
