Nobody said anything funny. The laugh just came.

That's what survival energy looks like when it finally finds a way out. Peter Levine, the founder of Somatic Experiencing, talks about this directly - trauma gets stuck in the body as unfinished energy and the nervous system will discharge it however it can.

Sometimes that's shaking. Sometimes it's tears. Sometimes it's laughter with no joke attached.

In Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release, we see this constantly. The body doesn't wait for permission or context. It just lets go the moment it feels safe enough to.
This is what that looks like.

Self-regulation is one of the most valuable skills we can develop.
It allows us to notice what's happening inside us, stay connected with ourselves, and return to a place of balance with greater ease.

With practice, we create a deeper sense of safety, resilience and presence. We become more aware of our thoughts, emotions and body sensations, giving ourselves the space to respond with clarity instead of reacting automatically.

In this reel, Giten shares one of the practices he comes back to again and again. It's simple, practical and a beautiful way to ground yourself, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with who you are.
If you'd like to experience this work in your own body, join us for the BBTRS® training in Estonia this August. You'll explore self-regulation through breath, movement, body awareness and nervous system work in a supportive learning environment.

Some things are best understood through direct experience and this training offers exactly that.

One of the most important things I’ve learned through this work is that the body is never working against us.

Even tension, emotional holding, shallow breathing, numbness, hypervigilance, or contraction usually begin as intelligent adaptations.

The nervous system learns through experience.
And the body organizes itself around what it needed in order to cope, function, stay connected, or stay safe.

What I love about BBTRS is that it doesn’t approach the body like a problem to fix.

It creates conditions where the system can slowly reconnect with breath, sensation, movement, emotion, and presence again.

And when that happens, change often begins naturally from within.

❤️ if this resonates with you.

Your legs might start kicking during a session. That's not random.

Some emotions never got the chance to move through the body. Anger that had nowhere to go. Fear that froze in place instead of running. Energy that got stuck the moment it showed up, because there wasn't room for it then.

Kicking is one of the ways the body finally lets that energy move. It's not performance, and it's not something you're doing on purpose. It's the nervous system finishing something it started a long time ago.

When it's done, there's usually a kind of quiet, more like space. Room that wasn't there before.

The body remembers what it couldn't process at the time. And it knows how to finish the job, if we let it.

We pick partners who trigger our oldest wounds. Then we blame them for it. Change the partner, the story repeats.

Byron Katie's inquiry work offers another way: look at reality as it actually is. Own your own pain. Go back to that person and share the real fear underneath, not the accusation.

Most people meet that with softening, not defense.

This applies to facilitators too. When a client projects onto you, the work isn't to avoid feeling it but learning not to take it personally. Step back. Breathe. Acknowledge what came up for you. Then mirror the projection back, clean and open.

That's where resolution actually happens.

What's harder for you: owning your own pain first, or going back to share it with the person?

Most TMJ treatments focus on the jaw itself.

But one thing that becomes obvious in deeper bodywork is that the jaw often tightens after the nervous system has already gone into protection.

In MER Original Face work, chronic clenching frequently appears together with:
✤ restricted breathing,
✤ forward head posture,
✤ tight scalenes and SCM muscles,
✤ eye tension,
✤ reduced vagal tone,
✤ sleep bruxism,
✤ and chronic sympathetic activation.

The jaw becomes part of the body’s stabilization strategy.

Research around bruxism and autonomic dysregulation increasingly points toward the same thing: many chronic clenching patterns are strongly connected to stress physiology and hyperarousal states, not only dental mechanics.

That’s why local treatment alone often gives temporary results.
If the nervous system still feels unsafe, the jaw usually returns to the same pattern.

In MER, we work with the jaw inside a larger fascial and autonomic framework involving breath, throat mobility, neck tension, diaphragm function, emotional holding patterns and nervous system regulation.

Sometimes the most important shift is not that the jaw “relaxes.”
It’s that the body no longer needs the same level of protection.
