My Doors Are Open

Dan Bartlett

Five years ago, I started shaking in meditation. I thought something was wrong.

I didn’t know it was the beginning of something transformative.

I didn’t know anyone could shake like this.

And I sure didn’t think I’d spend a year learning how to teach this to others.

Shaking brought me back to life after I went through burnout and depression. It rewired my nervous system and released years of tension, dissociation and shame. It shifted things that decades of meditation hadn’t touched.

TRE® (Tension/Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a modern way of teaching the body to safely shake. Folks I’ve already worked with have noticed improvements in anything from chronic pain to anxiety:

  • “an incredible TRE session with Dan that left me feeling grounded and empowered”.
  • “release built-up tension and experience a newfound sense of ease.”
  • ”this is effortless, the body knows exactly what it needs and how best to get it when given the chance.”
  • “my soul felt a release of tension it didn’t know it was holding”
  • “definitely try it to bring more awareness to the body and process trauma in a way that doesn’t involve talking.”

But my favourite review was someone asking me if I remembered what it was like to be a kid, and for everything to feel new and exciting, and then telling me that 20 minutes of shaking had helped them experience that for the first time in decades.

Are you interested in reconnecting with a more spacious, less highly-strung version of yourself? As of today, my practice doors are open! I’m offering sessions in-person, in Bristol, and globally over Zoom.

You can book sessions online in less than a minute: book now.

You don’t need to know anything in advance and afterwards you’ll be able to practice on your own. It’s a free and powerful tool to have in your back pocket.

One favour 🙏🏻 If you have any friends who you think might be interested, please share this post with them!

I’m also developing a couple of TRE programmes that will help you go deeper over multiple sessions:

  1. TRE for meditators. How to unite embodiment and insight whilst avoiding dissociation.
  2. TRE for burnout. How to bring the body back online after experiencing burnout.

If you’re interested in either, drop me a message and I’ll share more.

Keep moving,
