Somatic Shaking For Anxiety Relief (7 Minutes)

Exercise starts at 02:30 This video is a gentle nervous system support practice and is not a substitute for therapy or medical care. Please listen to your body and adapt this practice as needed. If you feel dizzy, overwhelmed, emotionally flooded, or physically uncomfortable, stop and return to stillness or seated rest. If connecting with your body feels unsafe or intense, consider working with a trauma-informed practitioner rather than doing this alone. If you’d like to work with me one-to-one, you can find more information here: https://donnalouise.co/ In this video, I guide you through a trauma-informed somatic shaking practice designed to help release sensations of anxiety and nervousness from the body. When we feel anxious, the nervous system is often in a sympathetic activation state — the body’s fight-or-flight response — which creates excess energy in the system. Rather than trying to suppress this energy or force the body to relax, this practice invites you to gently meet and move that activation through the body using titrated shaking, natural movement, and breath awareness. The exercise gradually increases in intensity while encouraging regular check-ins with your body so that the experience stays within a manageable range. #nervoussystem #somaticpractice #anxietyrelief #selfregulation #somaticshaking #emotionalregulation #nervousness
