Now featuring special guest appearances with Dr. Christine O'Brien! 

Dr. Christine is an author and master teacher of Reset Practices that enhance Eric's teachings. Register now so you don't miss these additional practices. Christine will also be sharing her heart-mind-body practices in an October day retreat. You can learn more here.

In these hourly zoom sessions, Eric will provide practical exercises for activating your nervous system's ability to calm and heal itself. The objective of this class is to learn how to manage the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

Daily instruction, Monday through Thursday for 4 weeks, will vary, but will cover:

  • Exercises that help calm your nervous system
  • Exercises for promoting neutral observation
  • Neurogenic tremor techniques
  • Centering Prayer

You will learn an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. The exercises are intended to be used as a self-help method that is easily learned, has immediate effects and can be integrated into a simple daily routine to help restore a sense of inner peace and relaxation.

Many students of this class enroll every month to solidify the practices. 

Upon registration, you will receive a message with the Zoom Meeting link.

During this class, 16 Zoom sessions will be offered. You may participate in as many sessions as you want for the $50 fee.

Note: If this is your first time in this class, it is especially important that you come to the first two class sessions. There are several critical teachings during this time that inform the rest of the month.

What Students are Saying:

  • "I was surprised that the attention to bodily health worked so well to support our centering prayer practice.  I had never put the two things together before."
     
  • "The exercises are simple yet so effective!"
     
  • "The class has impacted my life through helping to balance responses to challenging happenings, releasing traumas and lingering sadnesses, having truer feelings of my being."
     
  • "This course has improved my contemplative prayer times as well as helped me to be less judgmental of myself and others throughout the day."
     
  • "I feel profound gratitude for how this innovative class has transformed my habitual stress patterns so deeply and surprisingly! My relationship to everything and everyone is much more open and intuitive."

About Eric Peter

Eric is a practitioner and certified instructor of Trauma Release Exercises. Eric studied directly under Dr. David Berceli Ph.D., and has been teaching TRE to individuals, groups and organizations for several years. As a former active duty infantry Marine, he was initially inspired to serve fellow soldiers, friends and family members suffering from the effects of trauma from combat. Along the path of service, he realized that trauma and everyday stress were a natural part of life and that recovery from trauma and stress was just as natural and included the entire human family. Eric offers a unique and practical perspective in the recovery of trauma and the management of everyday stress from his rich practice of yoga and contemplative prayer.
