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. ant steps is
A Global Fusion of Wisdom
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!
