Somatic Shake: 7-Minute Nervous System Reset for Anxiety & Trauma Release

Somatic Shake: 7-Minute Nervous System Reset for Anxiety & Trauma Release

Stop trying to "think" your way out of anxiety. If your chest feels tight, your mind is racing, or you are stuck in a "fight or flight" loop, sitting still to meditate is often the hardest thing you can do.In this session, Martin (your Clinical Hypnotherapist) guides you through a powerful 7-Minute Somatic Shake designed to physically move stress out of your body. Instead of forcing calm, we use Somatic Healing techniques to discharge the adrenaline and Cortisol trapped in your muscles.Perfect for Holiday Stress, panic attack relief, or simply resetting after a long day, this practice uses movement, visualization, and sound to signal safety to your primal brain.In this episode, you will learn how to:

Shake It Off: Use gentle movement to manually lower cortisol levels and mobilize stagnant energy.
Release Trauma: Visualize stress leaving your body as "grey smoke" and drop the heavy weight of emotional obligations.
Stimulate the Vagus Nerve: Use breath and audible humming to hack your nervous system and exit survival mode.
Find True Stillness: Experience the profound contrast of being "safe, grounded, and light" immediately after movement.
