The Benefits of Shaking Medicine
Shaking Medicine offers profound benefits spanning physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual — including awakening Kundalini and cultivating spirit — addressing the root causes of many ailments.
This somatic healing practice naturally releases aches, pains, tensions, stress, anxiety, suppressed emotions, and trauma, while cultivating vibrant energy to empower you in daily life.
Because this is a mechanism working from the primal level of your nervous system it gets to the root of many common problems in our society. If you have a nervous system, Shaking Medicine is likely for you—accessible worldwide through our guided courses.
In this blog, we’ll detail the benefits of therapeutic tremoring, share some participant testimonials, and describe how Shaking Medicine complements other wellness practices and aspects of life.

Physical Benefits of Shaking Medicine
Shaking Medicine enhances physical well-being by alleviating root issues through natural tremors. Key physical benefits of Shaking Medicine:
- Alleviate aches, pains, inflammation, injuries, tensions, and blockages.
- Become more grounded, balanced, centred, and aligned.
- Move into parasympathetic states of deep relaxation.
- Improve arthritis (e.g., rheumatoid, osteoarthritis) and similar conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, chronic joint pain).
- Enhance mobility, strength, flexibility, and reflexes.
- Tone muscle, lose weight, and soften tight fascia.
- Boost your health and vitality.
- Improve stamina and quicken recovery time.
- Improve lymphatic transport and blood flow.
- Become deeply embodied in letting go and allowing your body to regulate itself.
- Excel in and complement your hobbies, sports, activities, arts, work, passions, and more.
Shaking Medicine can address many common physical problems because it soothes the nervous system where our parasympathetic healing mechanism operates optimally, it improves circulation, and it releases lots of muscle tension around joints and throughout the body.
This practice is for all fitness levels, young and old, and everywhere in between. Shaking Medicine is generally a soft and yin practice of moving into deeper and deeper states of relaxation and letting go of the grip of control.
In our more advanced courses we sometimes explore Shaking Medicine in a more strong and yang way for cultivation and activating purposes, though not much in our beginner and intermediate stages.
I feel so vibrant. The pain in my knee has vanished and my whole body and breath feel so connected.

05 · Kundalini
Awakening Kundalini
The intelligence of the tremor is, in many ways, the same intelligence behind natural trauma release and spiritual awakening — including Kundalini. A lot of people first go hard into yang control practices. What is often needed is the balance of a more yin approach, where we let go, surrender, and allow this same intelligence to unfold safely and sustainably.
- Awaken Kundalini in a yin, safe way — by letting go rather than forcing.
- Let Kundalini phenomena arise organically instead of pushing for them.
- Support a Kundalini or awakening process with grounding and integration.
- Soften intensity by discharging density rather than chasing higher states.
- Expressions people seek through Kundalini yoga or intense breathwork often arise effortlessly here.
An incredible practice to loosen vertebrae in the spine awakening the crystal thread of the Kundalini. You come out of the session feeling more sensitively attuned, lighter, free, clear, loose and aware.

06 · Spirit
Cultivating Spirit
Healing clears what the system has been holding. Cultivating spirit is how you grow what wants to live after that — energy, presence, and a practice that becomes second nature.
The spiritual unfolding tends to arise as a side-effect of the release; it does not need to be chased.
- Cultivate spirit, presence, and life-force after the healing has begun.
- Open yourself to inspiring spiritual experiences.
- Tune into your higher self and listen more carefully to your wisdom mind.
- Enter effortless spontaneous states of meditation through Shaking Medicine.
- Make advanced meditation practices easier, more effective, and even spontaneous.
- Reconnect to your body’s innate wisdom.
Since I practice shaking, I can meditate with lightness, confidence, and presence. Today it has become my cure, my anchor, my freedom.

For going further into these two aspects — awakening Kundalini and cultivating spirit — Keith developed Shaking Medicine Qigong (also Neurogenic Qigong). It is an advanced course inside the Shaking Medicine community, designed for this work once the tremor is already awake.
