I have realised a great truth about sexual energy and TRE
I’m boldly going to disagree with what Nada Yogi said about in that semen retention should not be practised until TRE has released all/most trauma.
The retaining of sexual energy and charging the nervous system is key to TRE working itself and to someone being able to handle the charge of semen retention. They work synergistically. Sexual energy builds the charge in the nervous system that brings up trauma to the surface which is felt as anxious energy. This is when you know the body is primed to release it via TRE. Doing TRE from a depleted nervous system is ineffective as there is no charge to be released. Doing TRE from the charged state then grounds you, which is trauma being released. And then we can see that TRE is the key to a retainer being able to handle the energy of semen retention without becoming overwhelmed by it or having their body shut down. They are a synergistic pair that enforced the other. SR moves from being a goal in and of itself to something practical whereby it’s the prep for deep somatic work. Go and notice the difference from doing TRE from the charged state v the depleted state.
