Shaking Medicine Foundation: Mission, Purpose & Global Healing

Shaking Medicine Foundation: Awakening the Tremor for Global Healing and Vibrant Living

The Shaking Medicine Foundation, a non-profit based in Australia, exists to awaken the innate therapeutic tremoring mechanism in people worldwide.

From that awakening, people become empowered — able to heal trauma, leave the chronic condition of stored trauma, and return to homeostasis.

Serving wellness seekers worldwide, we blend ancient wisdom, modern science, and creative practices so Shaking Medicine can become second nature again.

This article explores our purpose, the power of therapeutic tremoring, and how you can join our global community.

Introducing the Shaking Medicine Foundation

The Shaking Medicine Foundation is dedicated to awakening the innate mechanism of therapeutic tremoring around the globe. From that awakening, people become able to self-regulate, heal trauma, and come out of the chronic condition of trauma.

We aim for Shaking Medicine to become second nature again, and for the nervous system to return to homeostasis.

By embodying Shaking Medicine, you can navigate stress, heal trauma, and live vibrantly, whether in bustling Western cities or serene Australian landscapes.

Our Mission: Awakening the Tremor Into Homeostasis

Therapeutic tremoring is a natural, accessible practice for the global epidemic of chronic stress, anxiety, and trauma.

The work is to awaken the mechanism. From there, people become able to cultivate a vibrant life and leave the chronic condition of trauma.

As stress-related disorders surge all over the globe, Shaking Medicine offers a path by:

• Healing Stress and Anxiety: Releases cortisol and tension through instinctive tremors, calming the nervous system.
• Releasing Trauma: Discharges stored survival energy so the system can come out of chronic trauma.
• Returning to Homeostasis: Helps the nervous system bounce back to balance — then stay there.
• Making It Second Nature: So the tremor becomes as natural again as it is for every other mammal.

Why Therapeutic Tremoring Matters

The Shaking Medicine Foundation integrates diverse wisdom to enrich Shaking Medicine, creating a global approach to somatic healing:

• Nature: Inspired by animals’ instinctive tremors to release stress.
• Indigenous Cultures: Rooted in practices like the Kalahari Bushmen’s ecstatic shaking ceremonies.
• Ancient Traditions: Drawing from Yoga (Kundalini, Kriya) and Qigong (Zi Fa Gong, Nei Gong).
• Modern Modalities: Influenced by Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), and Bioenergetics.
• Science: Supported by research on vagus nerve stimulation and nervous system regulation.

At Shaking Medicine we welcome all wisdom that supports us in doing the best we can possibly do. It is a value of ours to consistently be learning, growing, evolving, and creating to inspire!

Educating the world about this mechanism is a very important pillar of our values as understanding it to some degree with our logical mind is an important step for someone to decide to try it out in the first place.

Our SM blog serves a big part of this role as well as our teachers who are sharing this in their community.

Shaking Medicine is a very potent healing tool as Nature optimised our nervous system over a millenia to self-regulate and bounce back into homeostasis quickly, efficiently, and quite effortlessly with this mechanism.

Unfortunately, this phenomenon has been heavily suppressed in our culture and mostly forgotten. People often report that it's more like waking something up from deep within rather than learning something new and report profound shifts in their life even after just a single class or a few.

Personalized, Creative Journeys

Each Shaking Medicine session is a unique, intuitive experience guided by your nervous system’s needs. Our teachers craft personalized and creative journeys tailored to the unique needs and goals of their group or 1:1 client—whether healing pain, trauma release, stress relief, or for spiritual growth. This approach ensures sessions are:

• Intuitive: Tremors and movements arise naturally, guided by your body, naturally increasing your capacity to let go of control, allow, and learn to deeply surrender into trust.
• Supportive: Teachers adapt to your emotional and physical needs holding space for you to have the journey you need with where you are in the moment.
• Engaging: Infused with instructors’ unique passions and skills, from meditation to movement, the SM journey aims to be unique, curious, fun, and playful.

No two Shaking Medicine classes or experiences are ever the same as the beauty of our tremor mechanism is that it moves us uniquely how we need to be moved each time we tune into it!
