It explores this most fundamental human experience of 'shaking' during highly excited experiences or events. This book explains how this natural shaking response is potentially capable of both relaxing physical tension patterns in the body as well as reducing psycho-emotional stress and tension. The technique explained in this book has demonstrated itself to be useful for people who are experiencing simple daily stress, long-term chronic tension, or even recovering from traumatic events. This shaking response, which has been traced back through traditional cultures to present day medical science, is the body's own natural neuro-physiological reaction to reduce stress. The combined writings of 24 authors representing 12 countries and 3 languages take the reader through the theoretical understanding of this shaking mechanism from neurological and physiological perspectives to its application with self, family, community and organizations as well as, active duty and veteran military personnel, first responders, refugee populations, and natural disaster survivors.The easy to follow pictures and explanations of these exercises guides the reader comfortably through this self-help, stress reduction process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eby David Berceli, PHD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatespace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePub Date: August 11, 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9781515065289\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.69\" H x 9.02\" L x 5.98\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e332 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003epaperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45553028563130,"sku":"9781515065289","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/imageloader_b163ec23-4a5e-49be-a513-5d5f97935fa7.jpg?v=1769878266"},{"product_id":"god-in-the-dark-through-grief-and-beyond","title":"God in the Dark: Through Grief and Beyond by Luci Shaw","description":"\u003cp\u003eReprint.
