00:00:06

nervous and muscular tension in us.

00:00:09

Our body and mind become like a pressure cooker

00:00:12

while the temperature and pressure continue to rise.

00:00:15

It is essential when stress sets in and we take it upon ourselves

00:00:19

to allow our body and mind to recover regularly,

00:00:22

relieving them of this blocked energy within us.

00:00:25

How to relieve the pressure inside you,

00:00:28

you have to express it,

00:00:29

express.

00:00:31

Press it to send it externally.

00:00:34

Take the pressure out.

00:00:36

You have chosen to put a lid on your stress for a while.

00:00:39

You have chosen to close the pressure cooker which continues to heat.

00:00:43

Why not?

00:00:45

Maybe you thought that it was the best

00:00:46

thing you could do to avoid assaulting your client

00:00:50

or to avoid resigning from your job on a whim.

00:00:54

You thought that it wasn't the right time to express your inattention.

00:00:59

In any case,

00:01:00

if you don't release the pressure trapped in this pressure cooker,

00:01:03

at some point,

00:01:05

it only takes a little thing for it to suddenly explode.

00:01:09

You have to take the pressure off.

00:01:11

How do you do that?

00:01:13

How do you release emotional tension?

00:01:16

Our thoughts and beliefs create emotions.

00:01:19

When we cultivate thoughts that are intertwined with intense emotions,

00:01:24

it creates a strong emotional energy within us.

00:01:28

A thought such as

00:01:29

this is unfair,

00:01:30

this is wrong,

00:01:31

will create an emotional tension of anger within us.

00:01:35

A thought such as what a shame I'm really unlucky

00:01:40

will create an emotional tension of sadness within us.

00:01:43

A thought such as

00:01:45

what the hell am I going to do?

00:01:47

What's going to happen

00:01:48

will create an emotional tension of fear within us.

00:01:52

It is as if our thoughts inflate emotional balloons within us.

00:01:58

If we don't let the balloons deflate by allowing them to release the air inside them,

00:02:03

if we tie a knot in the balloon,

00:02:06

keeping our anger,

00:02:07

sadness,

00:02:08

fear inside,

00:02:10

we maintain balloons full of tension inside us.

00:02:13

For our health and happiness,

00:02:15

it is better to empty them regularly to release the inside tension.

00:02:21

Allow yourself to jump in the air and express your joy.

00:02:25

Allow yourself to express your fear.

00:02:27

Allow yourself to cry out your anger.

00:02:30

Allow yourself to cry out your sadness.

00:02:33

Expressing through words can help.

00:02:36

Writing your fears,

00:02:37

your angers,

00:02:38

your joys,

00:02:39

your sadness is a way to express the tension that fills your emotional balloons.

00:02:45

Allowing yourself to cry,

00:02:48

why not with the help of a nostalgic film

00:02:50

that will unleash the flood of tears that otherwise

00:02:53

you do not allow yourself to get out?

00:02:56

Allow yourself to scream.

00:02:58

Why not alone in the car or to punch cushions?

00:03:02

I have a coachy who chose to buy a punch ball to vent his anger,

00:03:06

admittedly.

00:03:08

This does not solve the source of the tension,

00:03:10

but at least it protects and relieves your body of the tension that is stuck in it.

00:03:16

In Chinese energetics,

00:03:18

each of the five elements is linked to emotions.

00:03:22

Summer is joy,

00:03:24

Indian summer is sympathy,

00:03:26

autumn is sadness,

00:03:28

winter is fear,

00:03:29

and spring is anger.

00:03:31

Going through the emotional wheel is a way to allow the energy to unblock.

00:03:37

Start with spring

00:03:39

linked to anger,

00:03:40

shout your anger.

00:03:42

Ah,

00:03:43

I'm fed up.

00:03:44

I can't take it any more.

00:03:46

Shout out without censorship all your pent up anger.

00:03:51

Then summer,

00:03:52

joy,

00:03:53

shout yippee,

00:03:54

and yeah,

00:03:55

jump up,

00:03:56

sing and laugh.

00:03:58

Doing this alone or in a group circle,

00:04:00

closing your eyes will help because at the beginning it will inevitably seem weird.

00:04:06

Indian summer,

00:04:07

sympathy,

00:04:09

feel your heart.

00:04:10

Let your satisfaction shine through with a big um.

00:04:14

As if

00:04:14

you were tasting the best dish of your

00:04:17

life or listening to the most beautiful symphony.

00:04:20

Autumn sadness,

00:04:23

pretend to cry,

00:04:24

to sob

00:04:25

like the mourners at funerals.

00:04:27

How sad.

00:04:29

In winter,

00:04:30

the fear,

00:04:31

shout in terror,

00:04:33

no,

00:04:34

as if you were on a giant attraction going through a loop that terrorizes you,

00:04:40

and start the 5 energy wheel again

00:04:43

until you feel emptied,

00:04:46

until you have emptied all the emotional balloons,

00:04:49

all the emotional tension.

00:04:52

This is a technique that I recommend to adults and children when there is tension.

00:04:58

Children will be able to do this more

00:05:00

lightly and with less self-censorship than adults.

00:05:04

They stand in a circle and hold each other by the shoulder,

00:05:07

and the teacher goes through two or three emotional wheels with them.

00:05:13

It's springtime now.

00:05:14

Everyone shouting their anger.

00:05:16

Ah,

00:05:17

after 2 or 3 wheels,

00:05:20

everything will then be very quiet.

00:05:22

Do it with your children like a game when you feel them angry,

00:05:26

excited.

00:05:27

After two rounds,

00:05:28

also ask them which emotions they would like to return to.

00:05:32

They will each suggest to you the ones they need to express more.

00:05:37

Under the guise of family play,

00:05:40

you will discover how good it is for you

00:05:43

because you are certainly more tense than your children.

00:05:47

Otherwise,

00:05:48

experience the emotional wheel alone in your car or even scream it in your head.

00:05:55

How do you release the tension in your body?

00:05:58

Express it physically.

00:06:00

Bring out the tension stuck in your muscles through movement,

00:06:04

sports,

00:06:05

stretching,

00:06:06

massage.

00:06:07

Here's a little exercise that will help release your physical tension.

00:06:11

You start by contracting your feet,

00:06:15

your calves,

00:06:16

your knees,

00:06:17

your thighs,

00:06:17

your legs.

00:06:19

All these parts are hypercontracted.

00:06:22

Then you tighten your buttocks,

00:06:24

your pelvis,

00:06:25

your belly,

00:06:26

your chest,

00:06:27

your whole trunk is contracted.

00:06:30

Then your shoulders,

00:06:31

your arms,

00:06:32

your hands,

00:06:33

and finally your neck,

00:06:35

your face,

00:06:36

your jaw,

00:06:36

your eyes,

00:06:37

your forehead.

00:06:38

You squeeze,

00:06:39

squeeze,

00:06:40

squeeze,

00:06:41

and

00:06:42

You release everything and breathe.

00:06:45

You can do this sitting down too,

00:06:48

2 or 3 times.

00:06:50

Another simple movement is to shake like salad your arms

00:06:55

while blowing or even sighing and shake your legs too.

00:06:59

There is a kind of yoga that practices the art of shaking blockages.

00:07:04

Whose name is

00:07:05

the shaking.

00:07:06

According to Christophe Guillon,

00:07:08

this particular yoga,

00:07:10

which is not based on postures,

00:07:12

was founded in Indonesia almost 35 years ago.

00:07:16

The shaking boosts the energy in the body and releases a lot of tension.

00:07:22

Like all yoga,

00:07:23

it is also a spiritual practice that aims to liberate the inner being.

00:07:28

The shaking

00:07:29

from the verb to shake

00:07:31

is also called dynamic meditation.

00:07:35

Bioenergy meditation or shaking yoga,

00:07:38

its effects are extremely positive on personal development.

00:07:42

On the surface,

00:07:43

it may seem very simple.

00:07:45

The emphasis is on practicing rather than learning theory or technique.

00:07:51

The idea is therefore to impel alternative movements to the body,

00:07:55

keeping the feet on the ground.

00:07:58

And after a while,

00:07:59

the body finds its own movement.

00:08:02

The creator of the discipline explains that

00:08:05

due to the high vibration of energy,

00:08:07

the body trembles and moves spontaneously.

00:08:11

There may be laughter or the release of repressed emotions,

00:08:14

which is both simple and powerful.

00:08:17

This release of energy creates sensations that some

00:08:20

describe as a feeling of heat in the body

00:08:23

or an electric current or fire inside.

00:08:27

You will tell me that these movements are not easy to make at the company.

00:08:32

Do them at home in the morning and in the evening,

00:08:35

but listen to yourself.

00:08:36

If the tension is high,

00:08:38

don't wait a whole day because your ego senses you.

00:08:42

The Chinese do not have our reluctance to move their bodies in public.

00:08:46

They don't have that fear of ridicule.

00:08:48

Since school,

00:08:49

they do qi kong or tai chi as a group.

00:08:52

In some companies they continue to do so.

00:08:55

I have coaches who now dare to make stretching

00:08:59

movements in their office or in the company garden.

00:09:02

The shy ones do it in the toilets.

00:09:04

Take care of your body that accumulates all

00:09:07

your tension within it with such dedication.

00:09:10

This wonderful body that gets blamed for the

00:09:13

tension we've been putting on it for years.

00:09:17

When we say my damn back because we have a back pain,

00:09:21

we should rather apologize to our back for putting all the tension on it,

00:09:27

this tension that we couldn't manage.

00:09:29

The body is not the culprit of our ills.

00:09:32

It is just the one that takes on our tension

00:09:35

and transforms it into ills.

00:09:38

It sets off alarms.

00:09:40

In case of stress,

00:09:42

how can you relieve your body of the tensions it carries?

00:09:46

Are there other levers to take care of our tense body in times of stress?

00:09:51

Food is essential.

00:09:53

Your billions of cells are nourished by three things

00:09:57

air,

00:09:57

food,

00:09:58

and water.

00:09:59

It is therefore childishly logical to understand

00:10:02

that the quality of our breathing,

00:10:04

the quality and quantity of water ingested,

00:10:06

and finally the quality and quantity of food ingested

00:10:10

are the basis of our energy.

00:10:12

Healthy cells are cells that have been well nourished with oxygen,

00:10:17

water,

00:10:18

and food.

00:10:19

In case of stress,

00:10:21

breathe well,

00:10:22

drink plenty of water and eat healthily.

00:10:26

It will be a gift that you will give to your body

00:10:29

in compensation for all that it undergoes with devotion

00:10:32

to help you hold out.

00:10:34

I won't go into detail about what to eat or not to eat.

00:10:39

Many nutritional experts contradict themselves.

00:10:42

However,

00:10:43

they seem to recognize

00:10:45

that stress causes in us a lot of systemic acidity known as acidosis,

00:10:51

which leads to headaches,

00:10:53

fatigue,

00:10:54

insomnia,

00:10:55

and ulcers.

00:10:56

This acidity can be reinforced by junk food or relieved by an adequate diet.

00:11:04

A constant in the expert's advice remains to consume less

00:11:08

refined food and more fruit and vegetables per day.

00:11:13

It is stating the obvious to remind the importance

00:11:16

of sleep as a recovery from any stress.

00:11:20

Lack of sleep can also cause more acidosis.

00:11:24

Be aware of what disturbs your sleep

00:11:26

and give yourself the best conditions to fall asleep quickly.

00:11:31

Turn off your computer 2 hours before bedtime.

00:11:35

Eat a light dinner.

00:11:36

Put on some smooth music.

00:11:39

The practice of massage will allow you to release a good

00:11:43

part of your muscular tension even more deeply than the movement.

00:11:47

You will find more or less soft,

00:11:50

muscular or energetic massages according to cultural traditions.

00:11:55

Many books also introduce you to the muscles to

00:11:58

self massage in case of pain or stress.

00:12:01

Finally,

00:12:02

relaxation is an excellent way to release tension.

00:12:07

You will find many audios and videos that will guide you

00:12:11

in states of relaxation on different themes.

00:12:15

Some

00:12:16

will be more based on letting go,

00:12:18

others on self-confidence.

00:12:21

Do you have a stressful life?

00:12:23

Does nervous and physical tension build up?

00:12:26

Take care of your body and make sure that emotional and bodily tension

00:12:31

is regularly released.
