Healing Inside Out

Everyone has a story related to stress or trauma; it is a modern-day epidemic. More so now, as the world battles to deal with Covid-19 causing mental health to spiral out of control. As external circumstances increase internal stress levels, life has become harder for everyone.

The current method to heal is from the outside. But did you know you can heal from the inside out? That you can naturally release the tension stored from your body without medication, intervention, or even the need to talk?

There is a simple solution, says Caroline Purvey, author of Feel It to Heal It and yoga teacher based in Kent, UK. She has developed a five-step programme that she calls the Total Release Experience (TRE), which is a powerful, empowering, simple practice without restrictions of age, race, religion, beliefs, even physical abilities.

Every human being holds the ultimate innate solution to heal from their past and build resilience for their future. All you have to do is to let your body do the talking.

As Caroline says, “Our physical body has the power to heal on all levels. I first learned this technique in South Africa nine years ago. I am proud to have evolved it into the programme it is today. Everything we teach, our message and deliverance, is based on client experiences, the thousands who have all taken back control of their wellbeing.”

How does TRE work? The body’s reptilian brain is responsible for automatic mechanisms, which include the two fundamental functions of breath and blood circulation via the heart. Our very survival depends on both systems. However, little thought is given to the processes because they happen naturally.
