After the Exercises
When you are ready to finish:
-
Bring your knees together and rest with both feet flat on the floor for a moment.
-
Extend your legs fully and lie flat for 2-5 minutes. Allow your body to integrate.
-
Notice how you feel. What sensations are present? What has shifted?
-
Transition slowly. When ready, roll to one side and use your hands to press yourself up to sitting. Avoid jumping up quickly.
-
Drink water and allow yourself some quiet time before returning to activities.
Practice Notes
Frequency: Begin with 2-3 sessions per week. Adjust based on how you feel.
Duration: Start with shorter tremoring times (5-10 minutes) and gradually increase as you develop your self-regulation skills.
Variations: Once familiar with the basic sequence, you can modify or shorten the exercises. The key is to achieve enough muscle fatigue to activate the tremor mechanism.
Record keeping: Consider keeping a simple journal noting what you experienced. This can help you track patterns and progress.
In the next section, we explore self-regulation in depth - the essential skills for working safely and effectively with the tremor mechanism.
