Stress is inevitable. Despite our efforts, it can come from the unexpected events of every day: from the presentation of a project at work to a traumatic event that changes the course of things.
Of course, what we can do is try to reduce it through different methods, cooperating with the body and mind at the same time. Sure, you've heard a little bit about the "body shake" technique.
What is this?
Vibration/body shaking is a method that experts say helps reduce anxiety and stress. By moving the body, you release muscle tension, burn excess adrenaline and relax the nervous system.
How does it work?
The autonomous nervous system regulates the body's processes including:
1. Blood pressure
2. Breathing
3. Body temperature
4. Metabolism
5.The third system
When the body experiences stress, the autonomous nervous system is affected and the consequences are reflected in the functions above. The technique of shaking the body would come to your aid to relieve the nervous system and bring the body to its previous calm.
What are the other benefits of this technique?
It can help you better manage emotional (long-term and short-term) situations. By reducing stress you can also prevent symptoms of anxiety, trauma or depression.
How do you do it?
Shake therapy can be done both on foot and sitting. Focus on specific parts of the body, focus there and shake. As strange or crazy as it sounds, keep doing it, but in the meantime don't forget deep breaths.
Before the manifestation of this technique, ask yourself:
1. What's it like to be inside my body?
2. How did my body and my emotions feel before I did this?
3. What about now that I did, how do they feel?
Repeat the vibrations on each leg, thigh and then throughout the body. The nod should include your head, fingers and any other part, but to make it clearer, take a look at the video below.
