In this solo presentation, Renee Garcia (Transurfing TV) highlights the often‑overlooked importance of the body in the Reality Transurfing framework. She shares her personal history of severe PTSD, describing how triggers once forced her into shutdown and overstimulation. A friend introduced her to Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), which she describes as a series of leg and pelvic movements that provoke involuntary shaking, allowing trauma stored in the psoas muscle (the "muscle of the soul") to be expelled. Garcia explains the biological rationale, cites animal behavior, and recommends learning TRE from a certified practitioner. She then introduces Martin Butler’s body‑sensing meditation, a step‑by‑step awareness practice that guides attention through each body part to locate held emotions and restore mind‑body integration. Garcia differentiates between chemical (physiological) and emotional responses, reframing anxiety as an evolutionary, DNA‑programmed survival signal rather than a personal failure. She discusses how dietary changes—particularly a high‑fat keto approach—improved her sleep, stress response, and mental clarity, and stresses the broader impact of nutrition, alcohol, sugar, and processed foods on brain function. Regular exercise is presented as a means to circulate energy, boost creativity, and support the mind‑body loop. Throughout, she offers practical takeaways: try TRE, practice body‑sensing (MP4 provided in her Facebook group), experiment with diet and movement, and observe where emotions are held in the body. The video concludes with calls to engage in her community (Facebook group, giveaways, Reality 2.0 course) and encourages viewers to integrate these body‑focused practices into their Transurfing practice.

Hello, Transurfer and the Transurfing curious! My name is Renee Garcia and this is Transurfing TV! And today we are going to be talking about something that is not talked about! Very often in this community, and that is the body, right? The body is half of the equation, really, yet we don't pay too much attention to our physical state, our physical signs, our ability to— determine what is sort of biological feedback or instinctual things occurring within the body that we sort of lose sight of this massive— well, not massive! You know what I'm saying, this energetic source that holds— and is responsible for much of our state of being, if you will. We sort of exist a lot up here. And I know for me, there are times— and I'll really give you guys some takeaways here, stuff that you can do at home and things to look into, and different perspectives of how you can switch your perspective from your mind to your body. But— There are times where I will remember, "Remember what your body— remember your body's there! Remember to feel your body, remember to be in your body!" And there will be times that I sort of wake myself up to switching back into this perspective, and I'll realize I don't even feel my body half of the time, right? I'm like a giant head that doesn't even feel— I mean, even just now watching— this video, think about your body and actually feel it, right? We have shifted so far away from truly sensing our body and listening to our bodies in ways that could possibly be detrimental to creating our own reality. Maybe some stuff's going on in the body and you're not acknowledging it. And this stuff is shooting itself up to your mind, and then this version of reality is being crystallized because of things not properly addressed going on in the body. So, I'm going to get into it all in a moment, and it is gonna be really fascinating, y'all! And I think you'll definitely take away some stuff that's going to help you. Before I get started, remember to like this video and comment below "My world is taking care of me" to enter my daily giveaway for for my Reprogramming stickers and Reality 2.0 on Teachable, link below, check it out! Join us on Facebook! Let's get a conversation going in the Facebook group about this subject, it'll be a good one for sure! So, I experienced— for those of you that don't know, I have a video, I believe it's titled 'My Story: Finding Reality Transurfing', and I talk about— a very traumatic experience that I had that resulted in me being diagnosed with severe PTSD. I mean, I was in like really, really, really bad PTSD place. And I would get triggered, my PTSD would get triggered. I'd be walking down the street and a fire truck would go by with its sirens going and its— and I would just— almost go into like a state of shock. And I would have to get myself home very quickly, I'd be totally overstimulated. And I would essentially have to shut down for a couple of days. This was probably about 4 or 5 years ago now. I would have to shut down, I would have to really limit the light coming into my place, it was overstimulating. I couldn't hear any more loud noises. And this became very— it became a way of life, and it became very distracting. And it was a new way of experiencing reality for me that I did not want to experience. So, a friend told me about something called TRE, Trauma Release Exercise. And for those of you that have heard of this, obviously, you know the magic here. For those of you that do not know of this or have never heard of this, Trauma Release Exercise is an absolute miracle for releasing trauma and stress and things that are held onto by the body that are detrimental to your existence, to your mind, right? I mean— Trauma is a deeply visceral experience that can get away from you if you don't address it and get ahold of it. So, I'm gonna recommend anybody that has any experiences with trauma— even if you don't have experiences with trauma, like PTSD or something really traumatic, TRE is definitely going to help you. Set yourself straight in regards to holding on to stress, tapping into that parasympathetic nervous system, getting your stress hormones down, all that kinda stuff. So, how it works. Well, it is a fact for me, this is a truth that I do believe, that the psoas muscle, which is regarded as the muscle of the soul, interestingly enough, holds on to traumatic experiences on a cellular level. So, this is your hips, this is your pelvis, this is this reproductive part of your body, for both men and women. And what happens is trauma is stored there. And when you do a TRE exercise, it opens up this area and allows the trauma to— literally be released, like the trauma actually leaves your body. So, this is known in the animal kingdom, something that happens when animals experience something traumatic. Like let's say an animal gets caught and almost attacked by another animal, but manages to get away. What will happen is that— and you can see videos online on YouTube, Google it, search it on YouTube, it's pretty interesting. The animal will get away and go find a safe place, and it'll shake for a period of time and release that trauma, and then go back out into the world. So, what's happening here, or why it's happening rather, is the animal has to release the trauma so it doesn't carry that trauma with it. With it, and then continue to experience detrimental circumstances to its survival, right? The trauma needs to be expelled, otherwise the animal could be like targeted again, or something. It's gotta get it out so it can maintain that level of survival, right? So, essentially, this is what you're doing with TRE. And what TRE is exactly, for those of you that don't know, it's a series of leg movements that you make. I know you can't really see my legs down here, but it's a series of leg movements that you make to fatigue the muscles in your legs and in your pelvis area. And then you lay down on the ground and you do a couple of little exercises laying down, and all of a sudden, your pelvis and your hips start shaking uncontrollably. If you search TRE and you see it, You see people shaking at these events where they get into these large groups and they all start releasing traumatic energy. You'll probably think, "Oh, they're doing that, they're shaking themselves." But I've done this, and I did this for a few years. I'll do it every once in a while. I'm actually gonna do it today. Now that I'm giving a video, I'm like, "Oh, it's been a while since I've done TRE!" So, it looks like they're shaking themselves, but they're not. It becomes uncontrollable. And what's happening is that— that traumatic energy is literally just leaving the body. It's very, very powerful. There are TRE practitioners. I would advise anybody, especially somebody that wants to get serious into it, learn how to do it from a TRE practitioner, and then you can go ahead and do it yourself. That's what I did. I went to somebody a few times, and then I just started doing it at home. And it is absolutely life-changing. I mean, I really got myself to a, place where I was able to physically release a lot of that energy that was PTSD, holding on to stuff, experiencing fear in inappropriate times in an elevated way that was really keeping me stuck. It was very scary, and I'm very happy that I found TRE to help me out. So, what to next? I think I'm going to— Talk about body-sensing next. This is a practice that was created by a man named Martin Butler. He's got a podcast on YouTube. And essentially, what body-sensing is, is it's focusing your attention back into your body, one body part at a time, and bringing yourself back in, or away from your mind, back into your body. So, again, Modalities like Transurfing, there's a lot going on with the mind, right? But the body sort of doesn't play a pivotal role in Transurfing. But what I'm suggesting here is that— and I'll provide an MP4 for anyone that's interested in the Facebook group, if you wanna try this body-sensing meditation. It's really, really good. And the reason that I believe that this is an excellent addition to any Transurfing practice is it does a couple things. One, it gets you out of the mind, right? What we're striving for as Transurfers is to not constantly be overthinking everything and overanalyzing and all that kinda stuff, that we wanna tune more out of our Inner Intention thinking mind and to our external reality. Where we can connect with variations of reality and more opportunities, and things that our mind running at a high speed is just not going to see, right? So, learning to pull yourself out of your mind, back into your body, this is a nice way to relax the mind. The second thing that it does that I really like is it helps to really pinpoint where you're holding emotion, or where something is off balance, or where you need to draw energy to, into your body. And putting yourself back into your body to sort of— with the intention of, like, doing some work, rebooting. Something that has to do with your body. Or maybe feeling, "Maybe I need to do this type of exercise." Or feeling digestive issues, or feeling if something hurts, or feeling if you're holding something somewhere, right? Because it's a belief that we hold emotions in specific parts of our bodies. We have— the most classic example of this is people that have— You know, broken heart. So, you had something romantic happen, you can actually feel it, and we've all felt it, that feeling that something's not right in the chest, right? So, there is an emotional state that is sort of materializing itself as pain in your chest area. And it's the same with all emotions. There's a point in the body where that is going to be held. So, if you're gonna do an exercise like body sensing, which is— a very, very simple exercise, it's a meditation, you sit there and you really just think about each different part of your body, you can start to pinpoint where you're holding on to emotion, and maybe then working on that from a different place, or at least drawing your attention to it so there's not this— I don't wanna say a massive disconnect, but there is kind of a disconnect between the mind and the body, right? I mean, Western medicine— It is really about you go to a general practitioner for your body, and you go to a psychiatrist for your mind. And both of these doctors don't really communicate with each other, right? There's the body, and then there's the mind. And I have experienced, especially in the last 5 years, of paying attention to how— these two different parts of ourselves are actually one, right? I've learned a lot about, let's just say, what I put into my body. I mean, when I started the keto diet, this was very, very eye-opening for me, especially having some trauma with the PTSD stuff and my stress levels and insomnia. When I switched over to the keto diet— that massive intake of fat— I'm a huge advocate for dietary fat— was amazing for my brain, right? I started sleeping better, my stress responses started to chill a little bit. There was just a bunch of positive benefits from changing my diet. And I never in the past would've believed that— diet would have such a huge effect on my mind. When I thought of diet, I thought of being trim, or my skin looking better, or some sort of physical reward. I didn't think of how diet really played into my emotional state, my mental state. And it's been in paying attention to my body a little bit more that has allowed me to sort of tap into— What I can do to optimize my mind via my body, right? So, talked about body sensing, pinpointing where you hold emotion, observing what is chemical. Okay? So, this is the fascinating part of, I guess, Western medicine, my perceptions of— my perceptions of how I viewed certain emotional states in the past for myself. I would have anxiety, or I would have fight or flight response, and I'd think, "I can't deal with stuff! Oh, I'm going crazy!" Or some sort of— like I was accountable for— some sort of biological kind of experience. And then once I started to really learn more and evolve my knowledge about the mind and the body, I started to realize that when I had anxiety, this is just deep DNA programming of what was needed for us to evolve as a species. As a species over millions of years. And I talk about this in my Reality 2.0 course, that we are geared to see the negative, because if we had not been geared to see the negative, we would not have survived as a species, right? That evolution has sort of— has not done us well in our— modern state. Because now we don't have to be fearful of the wild animal ripping our head off, but we still have the responses getting triggered by external threats that aren't, um, that aren't, you know, as threatening. Now, I guess a lot of people would probably say that's not true, they are as threatening, but I think we're much, much safer now as a species, but we still live and respond to our environments in a way that's like we see it as extremely threatening. That's why a lot of people are running off of fight or flight, like— And then, just things like looking at the screen of your phone at night, and that sort of— doing something to your brain where it doesn't— you know, your brain doesn't acknowledge that it's night. So, we got a lot of little things that are happening that we're not necessarily giving the attention that it deserves, and getting our bodies functioning. And getting our minds understanding what it is our bodies do and how that affects the brain, and how we could inadvertently allow unchecked stuff in the body to create our reality for us by not acknowledging, "Oh, I'm feeling anxiety because this is completely healthy and normal as a human being, and I'm not crazy." This is a response, right? This is a response. So, observing what is chemical and being able to observe it from an objective standpoint, right? "Oh, I'm feeling this!" And not just it being about the mind, but really tapping into an understanding that— You are just experiencing being a human and observing what is chemical and what is not. You know, now when I get anxiety, I just kinda laugh and like shake my head and think, "There I am being human again!" Right? "There I am, there's my body responding to some stress hormone, and this is all very normal and natural!" And when I do that, I don't feed into it, and that really helps me to keep my mind right. Right? So, before I end this video, I know it's going on quite a bit, energy of the body is energy of the mind. This is why I'm a huge advocate for figuring out what diet works specifically for you, not just getting involved in a trend or trying to just focus on your weight only, but really paying attention. To how your brain feels about the foods that you eat. Alcohol, sugar, overly processed stuff, obviously, it's not good for the mind. And then exercise! Getting yourself to a new and improved exercise routine that is gonna get energy circulating in your body, that is going to extend up to your mind. I mean, now— My exercise routine is being switched up all the time. And I'm really noticing that I have a lot more ideas generating mentally. I have a lot more going on upstairs with tapping into new thoughts, new information. Things are flowing, energy is circulating, but it's starting in my body, right? It's starting in my body. Diet, exercise, paying attention. To where I'm holding emotion, paying attention to what is chemical, what is normal, what is natural, remembering things like trauma's stored in the body, so it needs to be released, all that kinda stuff. So, TRE, check it out, everybody! Super cool, really fascinating! Look at some TRE videos on YouTube, I think it'll blow your mind! I am a strong advocate for this! This is a fantastic thing to get into, regardless if you're suffering from PTSD or not. And I will give the MP4 on body-sensing in the Facebook group for those of you that are interested in that. And yes, let me know your thoughts on this one, everybody! Thank you so much for watching my video, and have a good day! Bye, guys!
