Introduction to Learning Shaking Medicine

Shaking Medicine is a transformative somatic shaking practice that harnesses your innate therapeutic tremoring mechanism to promote nervous system healing and trauma release. Accessible to beginners worldwide, this practice taps into your body’s natural ability to heal stress, anxiety, and trauma. In this guide, we explore how to learn Shaking Medicine, what it feels like when spontaneous tremors awaken, and why it’s easier than you think.

How Does Shaking Medicine Work?

Shaking Medicine taps into a natural tremor mechanism you’re born with. This neurogenic tremoring process regulates your nervous system by shifting you into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), where your body’s innate healing functions thrive. It acts as nervous system hygiene, both tonifying and cleansing by:

• Releasing Tension: Discharges stress, anxiety, and suppressed emotions.

• Restoring Balance: Promotes homeostasis for vibrant health.

• Healing Ailments: Addresses root causes of physical and emotional issues.

Evolved in animals over billions of years, this mechanism is a survival and healing tool. For example, a polar bear shakes off shock after being tranquilized, and an impala discharges near-death trauma after escaping a leopard. As humans, we share this nervous system “anti-virus”, allowing our inner animal to restore balance organically through therapeutic tremoring.

Awakening Spontaneous Shaking: What It Feels Like

As you begin learning Shaking Medicine, spontaneous tremors awaken gradually, guided by your body’s instinctive intelligence. The experience is unique and evolves over time:

• Initial Stage: You may move slowly through ranges of motion without noticeable tremors. A small, unexpected jolt or quake signals a potential tremoring spot. By refining movements—slowing down and relaxing further where the jolt occurs—tremors may develop gradually, starting and stopping intermittently.

• Expanding Tremors: Tremors often begin in one area, like the legs, and may spread as you notice where shaking stops and explore new ranges of motion. Over time, this can evolve into full-body expressions, connecting different parts of the body.

• Varied Forms: Shaking may appear as sporadic jolts, morse code-like vibrations, or wave-like flows. It may pause, requiring you to revisit slow, relaxed movements to re-engage or activate new body parts. Micro-movements in other areas help integrate them into the process.

• Resolving Blockages: Tremors oscillate between sporadic and flowing movements, working through physical or emotional blockages. As one wave resolves a blockage, a new wave may emerge to address another, supporting ongoing trauma release and integration.

• Deepening Embodiment: This evolution helps you embody Shaking Medicine deeply, with benefits extending to stress relief, emotional resilience, and vibrant living.

Relaxation and patience are key—less is more. This process feels intuitive, like rediscovering your body’s wisdom. This is a small sample of what it can feel like.

Is Shaking Medicine Hard to Learn?

Learning Shaking Medicine is fundamentally unique, emphasizing relaxation, surrender, allowing, and intuition over control. Yet, it’s relatively easy for most because it’s an instinctive mechanism—it feels like remembering rather than learning something new.

• Quick to Access: Most people experience therapeutic tremors in their first class, and nearly all within a few sessions (45-60 minutes each).

• Guided Techniques: Our Beginner’s Course uses strategies from Somatics, Yoga, Qigong, and other modalities to move tremors through all body parts.

• Tips for Beginners: If tremors are slow to emerge, relax and stay with guided explorations. Softening, slowing down, or changing positions (e.g., focusing on a new body part) can help. Subtle tremors are as effective as big ones—size doesn’t matter.

Trying to force tremors can hinder the process. Instead, explore different movement qualities, intensities, or contact us for personalized support. Over time, Shaking Medicine becomes a sustainable practice, purifying and tonifying your nervous system for lifelong homeostasis.

Benefits of Learning Shaking Medicine

Learning Shaking Medicine offers transformative benefits for those seeking relief from modern stress:

• Trauma Release: Discharges stored emotional energy, easing PTSD and anxiety.

• Stress Reduction: Calms the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels.

• Physical Healing: Relieves chronic pain and tension.

• Emotional Resilience: Enhances self-awareness and emotional balance.

Backed by science, such as Dr. Peter Levine’s research on vagus nerve stimulation (PubMed studies), neurogenic tremoring benefits make Shaking Medicine a powerful tool for somatic healing.
