Why I have trouble to meditate when I am stressed
I often meet people with very anxious telling me "I tried meditation and it is not working for me, I can't concentrate." Of course, one can't concentrate on your body in the "alert" survival state. In the "survival state", your body reacts as if there was a lion standing next to you ready to attack, do you think this is the right time for you to sit under a tree and meditate on the meaning of life? When our body is working on "danger - I have to survive" there is no way that you can just relax.
There is a huge body of scientific proof about the fact emotions can be trap in our body.
Being a biologist and knowing the science behind but also learning in my TRE® (Tention & Trauma Releasing Exercises).
In my practice, I am coming across clients who experience trauma and are very surprised with how they are feeling after the session.
We have a tendency to think of trauma as something that happens to us, which is not true. TRAUMA is a dysregulation in the nervous system which happen after something happen to us.
More than that, this reaction is healthy and normal, and necessary to survive, the problem starts when the nervous system does not have the opportunity to regulate itself.
Our body is constantly receiving messages from the surrounding, also the nervous system is getting information about what is going on inside the body. Most of that activity we are totally not aware of. Does it affect our mood? Of course! Think about it what our ancestors need it to do when they faced danger, they need to localize and put them self out of the situation. The thoughts created in this state are suspicious and full of dark scenarios and the thought process is fast.
This kind of scenario is leading to a vicious circle situation. Tension in the body unctuously is producing a negative thinking process and dark thoughts are triggering more tension in the body.
What is the solution? There is no simple answer to the complex question, but in my opinion combination of psychological help and regulating the nervous system on the body level is bringing positive results for many people.

How to deal with the anger
Introduction to Tention &Trauma Releasing ExerisesTRE® and body awareness
We often have a tendency to train our bodies and stretch the tense mussels, we often are getting angry at our bodies when we are feeling tension. We are our body, mind, and emotions, these parts are only separate in our mind, we are one whole organism, and anything that is going on inside the body affects the mind. Animals will release build-up tension true the body, the dog will bite the cat will scratch when it feels threatened. We often on the body level want to release energy too. This simple exercise can help close down the process by completing the cartoon movements.
