Safe Space Shake and Release
SAFE SPACE SHAKE & RELEASE
Every tissue, every bone, every cell in your body has its own resonant frequency, its own sound. Together they create a unified or composite frequency, with its own sound. Ideally these sounds should comprise a harmonious whole. That is, when the body is functioning as it should, in health.
But...
When our tissues or organs are out of time or out of tune with the rest, then our entire body is affected. This disharmony or stress leads to an unbalanced body.
Let’s Face It. Stress Is Part Of Life, And It’s Not Going Away Anytime Soon.
We are constantly bombarded by stress-inducing people, situations, events and sounds.
What matters then is our perspective and how we deal with stress, and especially how we nurture ourselves back to a state of wellbeing and stability when stress occurs.
Stress and Trauma change how your brain work. With Safe Space Shake & Release you can begin to release bodily tension patterns and reset your brain. The shaking of your muscles increases body resiliency as it causes you to deeply relax and this naturally reduces stress.
What Is Safe Space Shake & Release?
It is a simple, yet highly effective way to shake & release muscle tension and stress and come back into a state of relief and balance.
How Does It Work?
Think of an animal in the wild, say, a deer. It may be calmly eating one moment and running for its life the next. Yet, if the deer escapes, immediately following the chase it will discharge that powerful fight/flight energy by shaking, jumping, twitching, or making noises. Its muscles will spasm to clear the stress hormones and move them toward elimination. After the discharge the animal returns to normal.
When we humans experience a stressful encounter and the danger has passed, the energy needs to be cleared. But sometimes, unlike an animal, we humans do not clear the experience right away. Sometimes if the trigger is too great, or is repeated often, or for some other reason, the moment of stress becomes frozen in the body. The muscles lock around the feeling of danger and terror, and the stress becomes imprinted.
A quivering or vibratory motion occurs as our muscles contract and relax due to intention, deep breathing techniques and certain body positions. Once shaking is activated, the innate intelligence within starts a process of unwinding and releasing. This allows for different rhythms and shaking within the body, resulting in a sense of restored balance and relaxation to the body.
How Did Safe Space Shake & Release Come About?
In the late seventies and early eighties Melissa Zollo was working as an actress off-Broadway and then as an acting teacher at the St Nicholas Theatre Company in Chicago. She was also the Artistic Director of the Prison Performing Arts Program in conjunction with the Eugene O'Neill Theatre in CT. At this time, Melissa observed that many performers had deep muscular tension held within their bodies.
“When a weakened individual is unable to shift their energetic mode to the needed frequency, help is needed because an unbalanced body is unable to fulfill its energy contribution, whether to a performance or to life.”
Melissa observed that our body’s innate intelligence had designed it to have an inbuilt physical response to release stress and tension. Similar to our inbuilt impulse to grip, hold, clench and tighten, protecting ourselves from the threat of danger, so too do we also have a way to surrender, let go and release this tension.
"We are the instruments. We are the orchestra. We are the music."
Safe Space Shake & Release was developed for professional actors to help them to shake off, let go, release tension and maintain their resilience.

How Does Shaking Help?
The “shaking” mechanism in the muscles is part of our natural behavior as humans.
The shaking of our muscles increases the resilience of the body because it causes deep relaxation that naturally reduces stress levels.
Can’t I Overcome Tension Using My Mind?
Yes, you can, but it is also important to recognize that using the power of our mind to override tension does not restrict us when we need to apply body practices and exercises to access a deeper level of physical harmony and well-being. After all, we are a multi-dimensional being. The first step on the road to total health is to understand that the body must be kept clean, (both externally and internally). It needs to be nourished, moved, relaxed and rested. And it needs to “discharge” excess tension!
“The mind is in the body and the body is in the mind. Whatever is impressed upon the cells of the brain, in the form of a picture, remains there. Memories are stored in our brain as much as our experiences are registered in our bodies.”

RAVE REVIEWS
“I was looking for help in dealing with anxiety and stress. A friend told me about Safe Space Shake & Release but I was hesitant to try it. Then my stress levels were so high and I didn’t want to be medicated so I decided I had nothing to lose by having a session. I was nervous at first but Melissa put me at ease. She explained everything. After my first session, I felt like weights had dropped off my shoulders. I felt hopeful again. I truly sensed a calmness come over me. I made an appointment for another session and now I go twice a month. I am amazed that I feel better and better with each session. I feel so much lighter too. Melissa has helped me change the way I deal with negative situations and stressful people in my life. I highly recommend Melissa Zollo and all of her services.”

“My experience of Safe Space Shake & Release with Melissa was wonderful. I was going through some heavy duty “stress” but from the moment I walked into her Dream Tree studio I felt connected and comfortable. I highly recommend Melissa. She is a very sensitive, warm person who allowed me the space to “let go” and “discharge” some toxic energy that I had locked up in my body for way too long. I felt so relieved and released after the session. Thank you, Melissa.”
