Meditation and Mindfulness

Meditation and TRE approach nervous system regulation from different angles: one through stillness and attention, the other through movement and release. Together, they offer a complete practice.

Meditation Before TRE​

A brief meditation before TRE can:

  • Settle the mind
  • Bring attention inward
  • Create a contemplative container
  • Set intention for practice

Simple practice: Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes. Focus on the breath or simply rest in awareness. Allow the mind to settle before moving into the physical exercises.

Meditation After TRE​

The post-tremoring state can be conducive to meditation:

  • The body is relaxed
  • The nervous system is calm
  • Physical stillness feels natural

Lying meditation or sitting meditation after TRE can deepen integration.

Mindfulness During TRE​

Practising TRE with mindful awareness enhances the experience:

  • Tracking sensations moment to moment
  • Observing without judgment
  • Allowing without controlling
  • Staying present with whatever arises

This mindful approach makes TRE itself a form of meditation in motion.

Body Scan​

The body scan meditation is particularly complementary to TRE. Both involve systematic attention to the body. Practising body scans can increase somatic awareness, supporting more effective TRE practice.
