Shaking Medicine is a unique and wonderful technique which deepens our connection with our self and releases traumas through a natural healing process. I had a profound experience through liberating and moving stored energies around my body. Keith introduced me to this beautiful technique and he holds a lovely and supportive space for us. Thank you! Highly recommended!

Shaking Medicine has quickly become a very exciting and new addition to my daily yoga practice. Keith holds a completely loving and supportive space to break through my barriers and limitations. In my many classes of Shaking Medicine with Keith, I've experienced releases of emotion in the ways of laughter, pain, trauma, tears and complete bliss. This practice is a beautiful, all-accepting space for everybody. After Shaking, I never fail to emerge feeling transformed, with a heightened sense of understanding, awareness and trust. When I shake, I feel I shake away any energetic heaviness or weight I no longer need to carry with me! It's become very obvious to me how important this practice is for myself and I believe that all human body's WANT to shake!! We just need to give our bodies the space and surrendering to do so. Keith truly embodies this practice of what he preaches: letting the body be free to move without judgement and without control. I love that he encourages sounds as well! Sighing, moaning, groaning, laughing, and crying! It feels very authentic and raw. I feel so grateful and inspired by him for embodying this Medicine with so much loving care. Thank you, Keith!

Topics: Teacher Training, Online / Community, General / Wow, Skeptics
Attending a Shaking Medicine Teacher training was one of the greatest moves I made this year! I was initially sceptical of Shaking Medicine as a new age fad. The scepticism soon shifted to curiosity when I began to understand the ancient roots of Shaking Medicine within humanity, and the science of nervous system regulation as a means to restoring balance within a living system. I now use Shaking Medicine regularly as a powerful tool to stay centred within my physical body, have a more balanced emotional body and quiet my mind. Shaking Medicine is super dynamic and adaptable, and easily integrated into a practise of Qi Gong or a run on the beach. It provides a lot of laughter and space for all expressions of the body, and is fun as a group practise. I have found myself in a more relaxed state, receiving greater benefit from deeper meditations. It has allowed greater focus and grounding within my own path and has provided greater emotional freedom and self-expression within relationships. Physically, I am feeling less tension, greater flexibility and deeper more full breaths. I will continue to practise and share passionately Shaking Medicine with others, as a tool for a more grounded, calm, and liberating experience of Life!

A really powerful and beautiful way of gently working with the emotional body. I've done other shaking modalities before, but this is by far the most scientific and the most interesting. I didn't get bored once in the entire session

With a full and grateful heart, I give thanks to Keith and his Shaking Medicine workshop I recently had the good fortune to attend. Such a truly healing modality was greatly complemented by Keith's amazing presence and great humility. He facilitated with an energy that was at once gentle and yet commanding of my full attention. I found the whole evening very healing on a fundamental level of my being. Spiritually and emotionally purging and so very soothing to my frazzled nervous system. By the end of the class, I had inexplicable quiet tears in my eyes and it was a beautifully profound moment. I intend to incorporate this amazing modality into my daily practices. Thank you, Keith! Many blessings

Keith's workshops I have been given an exciting new perspective and understanding of how my body can naturally release muscle tension, trauma and emotional anxiety. I am very grateful for having had the chance to attend his classes during my time in Australia as I now have incorporated these concepts into my every day routine and they continue to help immensely with my scoliosis and muscle/joint pain. Thank you Keith for the work that you do to bring this ancient knowledge to more people!

It was definitely a powerful night session. I have experienced something incredible. Reconnecting with my indigenous-self. I was so surprised by what came from my body. It has been a beautiful revelation. Thank you to Keith, who is such a great teacher and such a nice presence to bring you to a wiser state. I truly recommend you to discover it

A simple and unique approach to get out of our mindset and explore another dimension of what our bodies are able to express and liberate themselves from. Keith guides us gently with his voice by flowing through various movements to let our body express itself, and to be the Observer of liberating ourselves from what does not serve us. It is very powerful and profound. We unite our energies to provide support in our personal release. I have a real confidence in Shaking Medicine and I am really grateful to have crossed Keith's path and to integrate this Shaking Medicine into my daily practice. Thousand thanks for this humble teacher with his wisdom and love. Namaste

I do this subconsciously and it happened. I got told by drs there was something wrong with me and then that it was non epileptic seizures. I'm a natural intuitive and I know everything is made of energy in many forms and it's a release and thanks for making that clearer for me, it made more sense to me than any dr could have said, and it's more the fact that this shaking medicine makes logical sense as well. But it really put me even more at ease and gave me confirmation of what I felt intuitively what the tremors were thanks to Keith, because I wasn't just thinking it was energy in my head, I would know it was energy deep down, nothing came up on my tests at drs, they checked for everything, I had nothing. Still I get them and I remember you told me to allow the energy to move through me so I'm glad I'm writing this because it's a massive reminder as well

An incredible practice to loosen vertebrae in the spine awakening the crystal thread of the Kundalini to open you up to the quantum field of dimension held within the energetic centres of the body. You come out of the session feeling more sensitively attuned, lighter, free, clear, loose and aware. A very simple practice available to anyone and everyone. Would highly recommend Keith as a teacher and practitioner and look forward to seeing the progress of his work with people over the years to come. Light, love and gratitude

A unique practice allowing oneself to connect with themselves and something greater. Shaking Medicine is a holistic practice incorporating different elements relating to meditation and movement. They say: "When your body is the monkey, your mind can become the rock." Dropping into a meditation state becomes much more reachable. This practice has enriched my lifestyle in many ways; from reducing chronic pain due to a back injury, reducing stress and anxiety levels while at university and diving deeper into who I am and my connection with oneness. Recommended 100%! Come move and shake it off

Keith guided me through an introduction to shaking medicine, He explained it clearly without too much fluff. Later that eve I was able to have a full body release that felt cathartic and I woke up the next day feeling reenergised and reset.

I have been practicing Yin for 2-3 years in Adelaide, which has helped my body and mind reconnect with who and what I am. I have always unintentionally shook when at rest not knowing why this was so. I always guessed it was my body letting go of unwanted hurt/energy. In yin especially in savasana my body shakes / lets go a little or a lot depending on how much physical pain and or stress I am under. So in July I returned from Vietnam and took my first Shaking medicine class taught by the legendary Soma Wolfe and although it was foreign and a little weird it felt familiar and somewhat fun. Recently Soma Brought us another Shaking Medicine class in Adelaide which was amazing and one of my favourite class and finally made a connection for me with my lifetime Shaking. I would call myself a part time Yogi but I feel privileged to be part of this wonderful community and have made some really good friendships from it. Many thanks to Keith for touching base today!

I was in Joeke's workshop a while ago. It was exactly what I needed. I could shake my body loose exactly on the pace that was good for me. I saw some people moving very subtle, others with more expression. There was space for our own way to do it. Space to be silent and to make sound. The way Joeke is guiding the group is very natural. She gives clear directions and she gives confidence. The technique feels very good in my body. I felt very relaxed and energized during the day. I can recommend this workshop for people who want to feel closer to themselves, to their body and feelings. I can imagine it can have a healing effect too, when you feel stuck or when you experience stress in your life. By doing it you get tools to continue on your own at home, too. Thank you so much, Joeke!

SHAKING MEDICINE IS THE BOMB. I Shake everyday in my own way and it makes my life better. I've shaken myself to tears, I've released Deep bodily trauma with it and I shake regularly in any way I need to to feel better. Sometimes it's a foot, sometimes it's session of whole body Carpet-Catharsis and sometimes it's a Mini-seizure before bed. A very simple and life changing technique that I would Recommend to just about anyone. Give it a go, and Let yourself Go. Love you Keith

I stumbled across this workshop at earth frequency and had a very amazing experience! It was so simple that through allowing my body to go into a natural tremor, what took over was a seemingly much smoother and euphoric energy. I was getting moved and circled in two different directions involuntarily and it felt gentle but healing and nourishing! I'm so intrigued by this brief introduction that I'm doing the teacher training in two weeks! Excited!

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher than Keith to teach shaking medicine. His compassionate, loving and down to earth nature made embodying the process such a breeze. Teaching groups is very new to me, but with his patience he guided me in a way that I now feel confident. I absolutely love the combination of Daoist teachings which makes it a holistic approach and really takes into consideration all layers of our being. I love learning the different ways shaking can be activated. It was a joy doing this course and I highly recommend doing it if you want to help heal the world.

Hearing about Shaking Medicine, my curiosity was sparked right away! What Dr. Keith Motes is teaching is a medicine of human vibration and intuition that is ancient and new. Something my body took to immediately, as if I've always known how to move in this way! I first heard of Shaking Medicine ( )

The weekend was amazing learning in this unique group. The energy level was something I can't even describe, so if you get a chance-attending Shaking Medicine Teacher Training is a must! Keith lead my first ever Shaking Medicine experience at Confest (an alternative bush campout festival held in south-eastern states of Australia) and coming from this pulping industry myself, I never experienced anything like this before and so to be able to work with the body to help process my emotions out was so helpful to me, and so I can see this will really make a difference to transforming many people's lives

So a few weeks before the end of 2020 I started doing Shaking Medicine Classes on a regular basis. I combined these practises with Yin Yoga, another one of my favorites. Felt SO good and like I shared above, I intended to have the most relaxed nervous system. And I feel like I did! I had the most relaxed holiday season ever! I feel like my self regulation in general is also feeling amazing, due to what I've learned in the Shaking Medicine Teacher Training. Thank you so much Keith for offering these classes online! They are amazing and super healing for my journey. X

Shaking Medicine with Nathalie Paul, amazing experience. Natural medicine through body movement.

Dear Keith, Loved your free class. Am keen on exploring the training at some point. At the moment, I am all booked up, considering perhaps early 2022. I am a dancer and have explored shaking though my practice and also via Laughter Yoga.

As a teacher and student of yoga, qi gong and baguazhang, as well as a naturopath, body therapist and healer, I really love the systematic approach of Shaking Medicine. The 5 layers of the practice - moving through body stretching, body and energy movement, shaking medicine, internal energy and breath practices and inner witness meditation - just make a lot of sense and flow into each other effortlessly, offering immediate healing and freedom in the body and mind. After practicing with Dr Keith Motes I felt amazing, lighter and brighter.

Shaking Medicine is something powerful. I have never felt so drawn and open in a practice like this before. I have regularly practiced in Taekwondo, Ashtanga Yoga and I occasionally practice Yin and Hatha Yoga. But wow, Shaking Medicine feels like it's just next level, and I hope to become a facilitator to share this practice. I feel the benefits are phenomenal and understand why it would be so beneficial for those with PTSD or any other form of mental health ailment. I felt extremely safe and calm making it easy to release and let go of what no longer served me. I felt energy moving so freely through my entire body. My body, my mind and my heart felt connected and clear throughout the practice as well as after the practice, I feel drawn to practice Shaking Medicine regularly now! WOW! Thanks Keith!

I highly recommend you to try Shaking Medicine at least one time. It has transformed my way of living and I feel we can drink all the green juices and follow the best diets and gym vigorously and yoga, but if the body is in constant parasympathetic mode, then the body cannot heal no matter how hard we try. This slow calming and therapeutic practice is so worth a moment of your time to really appreciate living happier, healthier and with reduced stress. Love yourself and try Shaking Medicine!

I didn't feel an awful lot during the first class but since then, now my body has been given permission to shake. It's been really g going for it! I have been bursting out laughing at how unusual and full on it is. I feel both relaxed and energised, clear headed after practicing. I had 'stress induced epilepsy' when I was a child and am now making the link that my body must have been trying to let go of the stress that I was holding in back then. It feels good now to allow my body to release and remain present for it. I feel completely safe doing so. Thanks for listening to the ramble! I have been telling lots of friends to try out your class

A simple and unique approach to get out of our mindset and explore another dimension of what our bodies are able to express and liberate themselves from. Keith guides us gently with his voice by flowing through various movements to let our body express itself, and to be the Observer of liberating ourselves from what does not serve us. It is very powerful and profound. We unite our energies to provide support in our personal release.

I noticed initially how tight my body felt. Gradually it began to soften and I noticed there is a ways to go. The voluntary shaking felt good but the involuntary therapeutic tremoring shaking came through lightly. There was a strong longing to rock my body rhythmically. My entry into meditation was very natural I'm very moved by this. Thanks!

Thank you, Keith. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. I had a confusing argument with a friend yesterday, and had some shaking, but I feel like I really needed a good shake, this morning. I be sensitive to the beginning of the shake, but it feels like a wobble, in my gut, during tense times. It doesn't manifest as a visible shake, but I feel like I really enjoyed exploring the energetic field too, thanks. Everything you share has been and will be appreciated

Topics: Teacher Training, Online / Community, General / Wow, Skeptics
Attending a Shaking Medicine Teacher training was one of the greatest moves I made this year! I was initially sceptical of Shaking Medicine as a new age fad. The scepticism soon shifted to curiosity when I began to understand the ancient roots of Shaking Medicine within humanity, and the science of nervous system regulation as a means to restoring balance within a living system. I now use Shaking Medicine regularly as a powerful tool to stay centred within my physical body, have a more balanced emotional body and quiet my mind. Shaking Medicine is super dynamic and adaptable, and easily integrated into a practise of Qi Gong or a run on the beach. It provides a lot of laughter and space for all expressions of the body, and is fun as a group practise. I have found myself in a more relaxed state, receiving greater benefit from deeper meditations. It has allowed greater focus and grounding within my own path and has provided greater emotional freedom and self-expression within relationships. Physically, I am feeling less tension, greater flexibility and deeper more full breaths. I will continue to practise and share passionately Shaking Medicine with others, as a tool for a more grounded, calm, and liberating experience of Life!

I am new here sort of... at least I have not introduced myself yet .. but I would like to share something as I have been taking the Pandiculation class that Dr. Keith had offered last month...and I think I will share some of my experience with it here (I gave him this feedback after the class) I am popping on here to just let you know/thank you as I was just watching the 2nd pandiculation video again kinda loosely in the kitchen and playfully found myself pandiculating while standing, just because you were and speaking to exploring into new areas... anyhow, I suddenly felt my hip/leg pop blissfully and my femur (that has been out of place) moved back into alignment... ahh.. huge relief and I was surprised! and also not... Powerful stuff happening for sure and the journey continues..... more soon!

I'm glad I waited a couple days to share about my experience with this because as I'm integrating, I am finding myself in a state of being that I've been trying to find my way back to for about 5 years — a state of alignment, knowing, personal power, sovereignty, empowerment, ease... Words don't quite encompass it but... It's clear that my session with Keith Motes helped me move some energy that had possibly been blocked for years and then some more I was holding onto with my mom's recent passing. Thus helping me to come back into that aligned state. So this was huge for me. I also wanted to share that the difference between how I felt going into the session (tense, on edge, irritable) vs at the end of the session was incredibly significant. Huge relief. After our session I felt calm and relaxed AND my channel to Source/Divine became open to the point I felt my higher self wanting to express through me with movement and light language / song. I ended up doing some channeled reiki light language singing after the session and felt called to channel more and more of this singing for the next day or so. I'm now thinking about starting a YouTube channel for my singing as I'm finding it quite soothing and healing as I listen back. The biggest deal for me, however is the state of being that I'm able to find now and how satisfying it feels to embody it. When I lived in this state before in my life, all sorts of things manifested that I wanted, things that I didn't even believe were possible for me. So this is all super exciting. Deep gratitude to Keith Motes for this gift. It was great meeting you — always wonderful to connect with people and build community on a foundation of healing, wellness, truth. And looking forward to continuing with more shaking medicine. If you're thinking about booking a session with Keith and you're feeling any sort of block in your life, I would 100% recommend working with him directly! Magic is awaiting. Namaste

WOW I really need to do this nightly.. I came back to the beginner course yesterday because I couldn't sleep last night tried yoga, hypnosis, all the things... Been having this problem a lot lately as I've been VERY immersed in creating A LOT right now... And don't seem to give myself enough energy management time... Last night after laying in bed for hours and hours not falling asleep... I finally was like ok I KNOW Keith's videos will work so I should just do it! And sure enough — nervous system calmed... Felt amazing... Also turned the shaking back on so that in my yoga this morning I found some shaking stations.... And kept going back throughout my day today to something Keith says.. "The woo way" or "wou way" ha I'm not sure the spelling but the effortful / effortless balance.... Really helped me keep my energy at ease all day today. Thanks Keith Motes. Everyone needs to know about this! Especially during these times the energy is moving faster than ever

Lu lk as Wilson 23dago in Discussion Gratitude for the Transformative Power of shaking Medicine I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for Shaking Medicine. Since I started practicing, the changes I've experienced have been nothing short of amazing. My energy levels are up, I'm sleeping better at night, and the anxiety that once felt like a constant weight has significantly lightened. The freedom I feel in my body after each session is incredible. I used to hold onto so much tension, especially in my neck and shoulders, but now I can feel those always easy to surrender, but the benefits are absolutely worth it. For anyone new or still unsure about the process-just keep going. The healing is real, and I can't recommend this practice enough! If you're struggling with doubt or fear, I promise it gets easier and more powerful as you allow the process to unfold

As I wrap up this incredible Shaking Medicine course, I'm reflecting on the shifts I've experienced over these weeks. Integrating this practice into my life has been nothing short of transformative, and I feel immense gratitude for the journey it has taken me on. The benefits have been undeniable. Shaking has become second nature for me, effortlessly emerging whenever needed. Combining it with breathwork techniques like the Breath of Fire and the Pump has brought a whole new depth of release and energy flow. I've also discovered how connected my body truly is, especially when initiating subtle tremors in areas like behind the eyes. Overall, I feel more relaxed, resilient, and in tune with my body's natural rhythm. What stands out most is the sense of freedom and reconnection with my body. Shaking has helped me shed layers of tension and access the body's natural openness and range of motion. To anyone curious about the Intermediate course, I encourage you to explore it. it's an experience that continues to ripple out into every aspect of life. Thank you to all who were a part of this journey!

I've been working on trauma healing for about 2.5 years and while there's still a lot of work to do, I really feel like shaking medicine has done a lot for me for the short amount of time I've done it. I feel clearer and more receptive to the world like I can take in new information with more ease. This means I feel like I've been more receptive to the work with my therapist too. I feel more present and aware, and honestly I think I'm feeling more safe doing things with the knowing I can go home and "shake it off". Recently I haven't been shaking as much. When I do, I shake very vigorously for like 5-10 minutes. Couldn't do longer than that because it's a lot. Just an observation. I have tried to share shaking med with a few people. Not sure if they all tried. Honestly I probably wouldn't have been so open to trying this in the first place if it wasn't for my therapist work that led me to a curiosity of body-based practices as I was wanting to heal and get better so badly. Keith used the word empowered, I like that, I'm becoming more empowered.:) I can challenge my "need" to be in a freeze or fawn response. But you have to experience it to know what it is!

Thanks for a really great course, Keith! It's been a rewarding process so far. It took me a little while to fit it into my daily routine, but it has been worth it. I feel like I'm getting some good shaking going! :) I've also been experimenting with doing short mini shaking sessions during the day, and that feels great too. Before finding Shaking Medicine, I was searching for a more in-depth practice involving bouncing and shaking, since I already used that as a regular Qigong warm-up to activate and balance my energy. When I discovered your modality, I learned that there is so much more to shaking than the voluntary movements I was doing. It's fascinating to realize that shaking is actually a built-in mechanism shared by all animals. Overall the practice feels very meaningful and it's almost as if it's the missing piece of the puzzle for me. As a practitioner of qigong and taiji, I have felt for many years that I've been stuck on a plateau, and I feel that shaking medicine might very well be the key to feeling a sense of progress again. In the Qigong I practice, we talk a lot about entering "the emptiness", the state where the magic happens and deeper healing can take place. Personally, that state feels a bit out of reach sometimes. My mind is probably way too busy... And there's probably a spiritual aspect to it as well: a fear of letting go, and the ego resisting that. It was really interesting to hear you mention that going deep into the practice can be difficult because trauma could be blocking the way. That resonates with me, so hopefully this Shaking Medicine practice might help shed those layers of trauma. Now that I've gone through the course, I just want to say thanks a lot for putting this together, Keith, and for sharing the modality with the world. You're a great teacher, and I very much enjoy the structure of the course, with a balancing between more yin and yang approaches. I also enjoy the pacing and the room for freedom in each session to stay in certain positions if one feels like it. I'm looking very much forward to continuing the progress!

I spent 15 years in the military and accumulated the kind of trauma you don't just "think" your way out of. After exhausting conventional approaches, I found Keith's work with Shaking Medicine and Zenthai Shiatsu. The results are measurable. My tinnitus dropped from severe levels to manageable ranges. I can now self-induce therapeutic tremoring through conscious muscle tension and release, a skill that gives me agency over my nervous system rather than being at its mercy. More significantly, the work unlocked childhood trauma that was foundational to my entire emotional architecture. The Zenthai Shiatsu component addresses what verbal processing and shaking alone couldn't reach: the physical holding patterns in fascia and tissue where trauma becomes structure. It's not relaxation massage. It's precise therapeutic bodywork that releases what the nervous system has been guarding for years. He works on the body armor you build up. Keith teaches somatic techniques grounded in evolutionary biology and neurophysiology. The shaking isn't metaphorical. It's your nervous system completing interrupted stress responses. The bodywork accesses trauma stored below conscious awareness. It's uncomfortable. It works. I started shaking when I first began my healing journey but went off track and tried many different approaches. Keith gave me access to it again and I love the shaking. It's helping. I feel much more grounded and I've just touched the surface. Already sleeping much better. What separates Keith's approach: he gives you tools you can use independently, not dependency on ongoing sessions. The methodology is replica ble and teachable, which is why I've already integrated it into my own daily practice. If you're a veteran tired of talk therapy that doesn't touch the body where trauma actually lives, or if you've tried everything else and you're still stuck, this is worth your attention. The mechanism is sound and my outcomes speak for themselves. Thanks for your unbelievable kindness. It's a pleasure to talk, work, and be with you. The sessions where we pushed against each other opened something I can't fully put into words, but it mattered. Your acro skills are amazing and I'm grateful you introduced me to it. Looking forward to what's ahead of us

Being a teacher and practitioner of a disciplined yoga style, alongside battling an eating disorder for years, throughout my life the concepts of control and pushing harder have, prior to Shaking Medicine, really directed many of the choices in my life. Over the years I've explored many different modalities for strengthening, conditioning and maintaining the overall health of my physical body, getting at times quite consumed and caught up in it all. The practice of Shaking Medicine is a complete medicinal delivery for all layers and aspects of our Body Mind Spirit. Combining hyper arousal and deep relaxation to create a whole and complete healing practice. It is part of my everyday ritual today as it allows me to cultivate a deeper connection to myself in a loving way. I highly recommend Shaking Medicine to anyone interested in cultivating deeper presence and awareness, anyone who may be suffering from dis-ease or inflammation. This is powerful

After casually dipping in and out of Keith's world for the last couple of years I jumped in with both feet to his 1:1 Shaking Medicine Transformation program and today was the first of our weekly live calls. I joined the call about 5 minutes late, tired from lack of sleep and stressed out with my 4 year old son distracting me throughout the first 15/20 minutes. I loved how he took it all in his stride but I was a bit embarrassed about the washing hanging up beside me and the mess all around me, made worse by my son bringing toys and blankets into the space. I had told Keith previously that I grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and had an Uncle killed by the IRA 3 weeks before my 8th birthday which has affected me profoundly throughout my life. I had never seen the grown-ups around me cry before that and I decided there and then that the only way to prevent this in the future was to be as perfect as I could be. I've been struggling with this perfectionism ever since. So, being late and being messy and unprepared was a massive challenge for me. However, I decided to just move my body as Keith was telling me to and I could feel how much I've been holding and tensing and bracing myself even from the first warm-up moves. Keith encouraged me to keep moving and also to let my breath out with big sighs and noises and this allowed me to very quickly move from an intellectual experience into a somatic one. I found the tremor very quickly and really felt release almost immediately. This release continued as we moved from standing onto the floor and I even had a little release of tears as we did some shaking in bridge. My body spontaneously decided when the shaking was complete and I just had a real sense of stillness which is incredibly different from the holding energy I've had for so long. I came up from the floor a very different person to the one who had started the session. I am really looking forward to where this 90 day journey will take me - thanks Keith!

These past years have been a shit show in many ways. Talk about constant surrender! I've found myself in a state of nervous system depletion more than once! I'm astounded every time though, that when I practise shaking medicine (neurogenic tremoring) how quickly my body knows what to do to literally shake me back into calm. We all have this inside us, as do all mammals! I'd love to show you how to access yours!

Our bodies are brilliantly designed to capably deal with most any thing. It's our presence and nervous system training that sets us up for that success. Shaking is natural and we can also choose to allow shaking to discharge even the smallest of triggers. And it can be pleasurable to feel pain and fear!

I couldn't have asked for a better teacher than Keith to teach shaking medicine. His compassionate, loving and down to earth nature made embodying the process such a breeze. Teaching groups is very new to me, but with his patience he guided me in a way that I now feel confident. I absolutely love the combination of Daoist teachings which makes it a holistic approach and really takes into consideration all layers of our being. I love learning the different ways shaking can be activated. It was a joy doing this course and I highly recommend doing it if you want to help heal the world.

Chair SM is surprisingly powerful! I had an Ayahuasca Ceremony last weekend and came home, feeling very tired, but also with the strong urge to Shake some more stuff out of my system. I didn't feel the energy to do a whole class, even tho my body clearly needed it. So I tried a Class from the Chair SM Course and was very pleasantly surprised. Getting the Shake going, while being in a comfy seat, was exactly what I needed. It's not only for the elderly, but also for the tired moments!

I had a huge release during this class. My knees are where my shake hangs out usually when it comes on, for a good year now, I have felt there was a blockage. When arching my back practicing pandiculation and lifting my pelvis, the first involuntary shake came on and ended in a smooth side to side motion which is a nice sign that it's now flowing. Then when we were tuning into the shake on my stomach lifting opposite arm to leg, my left leg was struggling to shake, it was an interesting feeling followed by deep dread and painful headache. I witnessed the emotion reminding myself not to go into a story and rested staying in my heart space. Going on to the other side was a huge shake, I then tried the left again and my knee shook and then went to my ankle and it was shaking super crazy. I took a long rest and then connected back to the class at the later tummy circles, circles, eventually my knees ended up lifting and knees/ankles shaking so I relaxed into it, love, loved the tummy circles though! Will incorporate them into my practice.

Talking medicine (mind) really needs the balance of shaking medicine (Body) to help release and integrate new awarenesses. If not done well, talking medicine might keep a client in perpetual state of flux/void going going round in circles and not 'moving forward' or exploring different possibilities. Imo, Shaking Medicine and Zenthai Shiatsu (both of which you are very adept in Keith), can find places in the body that's storing forgotten trauma and can be released without needing to name or revisit the trauma, so more freedom, clarity and lightness can be enjoyed.

Jigzagzen My body was shaking on its own during Meditations... I got scared. I had made it a habit to meditate every day, after several 10-day Vipassana retreats. Then my practice got too intense that my body started shaking on its own. I was terrified, I didn't understand what was happening.. So I stopped meditation for two years. Until the day I met @drkeithmotes the creator of Shaking Medicine He explained to me that these tremors were actually a natural phenomenon, a mechanism to liberate the body and not something to be afraid of. He also told me that meditating in a body still loaded with tension or trauma could be difficult, and that shaking was best before sitting down to meditate. Since I practice shaking, I can meditate with lightness, confidence, and presence. Today it has become my cure, my anchor, my freedom!

Thank you. I truly feel the deepest alchemy happening in my being.. I can't tell you how much I've been needing this for years now. Been trying to figure out why I've felt off and why I'd stopped reaching that same feeling of calm surrender through meditation... It makes perfect sense that I've accumulated some charges as you call them over the last 5 years. And I'm sure there is more I wasn't aware of built up from the past so. That being said, I'm already feeling better today after some incredibly restful sleep. I think it is the light coming back I am feeling. And yes in meditation / yoga it actually just happens on its own and takes more focused awareness to turn it OFF than to turn it on. So I think my body is pretty stoked that it's remembering its own healing... Mechanism

This makes so much sense that meditation in a traumatized body is not effective — exactly been my greatest challenge these last 5 years. In 2019 when I started meditating as a daily practice I was reaching heightened states and things in my life started flowing easily and not to mention abundantly in an undeniably profound way. Couple years later a big life change occurred and brought in some traumatic events—since those events began occurring I have found it nearly impossible to reach those same heightened states through meditation. Thank you for clarifying this. I'll also mention that since starting Shaking Medicine, especially as of recently, I have had greater success with meditating, reaching those states I once achieved and rediscovering the feeling of ease. But am also going through waves of fatigue or simply a need for more rest. Listening to my vessel

I've felt exhausted my whole past week BUT thanks to shaking, my therapist and my muay thai coach, I am really being able to HONOR myself, I can cry and hold myself, I can allow myself to be tired and rest and set boundaries. I used to cry and be tired a lot but I never accepted it. I feel safer now.:)))

The times in my life when I have accessed the deepest healing I have experienced shaking/tremors that come in waves. These have ranged from very subtle to very intense, and they happen involuntarily, apart from making the decision to heal/integrate passed traumas, consciously or unconsciously. Sometimes all it takes is a deep conversation about spirit/life and shaking will set in

The last few years brought huge realizations about how our mind and emotions benefit from what we do with our body. Meditation, breathwork, cold exposure, and a bit of Qigong, have built a sensitivity to the feeling of an inner life force. Spirit, energy, Qi, kundalini, the FORCE, the nervous system... whatever you want to call it. A random YouTube rec led me to yogi/physicist Dr Keith Motes who teaches this idea of "nervous system hygiene" where you use movement, like yoga, to let the body shake and move on its own. Sounds weird...and it is an unconventional practice (which is why it's interesting). But it feels uniquely restorative and therapeutic, mentally and physically. If your yoga feels like a stale workout, instead of something energetic or even mystical. Shaking Medicine is fascinating. Adults lack playfulness. Free movement and wonder help us pursue bliss. That's what I want out of life. Keith is an inspiring guide in that pursuit! PM me if you wanna try some online classes.

Trauma leaving the body! It's the body releasing negative energy that's stuck in the facial network, I'm always shaking, when I do plant medicine/after I gave birth/ at yoga/ healing circles etc - if only mainstream institutions were more trauma informed and actually allow the body to naturally expel excess energy and not suppress

Hello everyone! I'm brand new here and super excited about SM. This was my first experience in class, after being introduced to shaking medicine just yesterday during a random insta reel... I'm a bit surprised at how easily it was for my body to slip into tremor. I thoroughly enjoyed video 1 and am proud of myself for sticking it out to the end. Perhaps having no prior experience with yoga and little working knowledge of this practice helped, as I had no expectation of how my body would react. Quite obviously something for which I've been in need. I am remembering instances in my recent past when my body has had random tremors, often in my arms... Curious as what was being expressed; I will think on that; but for now, I'm enjoying the after-flow of energy. Interesting to me also is the almost instant sensation of pins and needles, or itchiness, in my hands, chest, calves.... Possibly from increased circulation? Or...? I'm feeling pretty good right now. Energized and relaxed both. Yay Shaking Medicine!

Instead of trying to control the shake like we do in the gym, this gave me permission to listen to it. I found shakes in places I didn't know. It felt like tension and instability looking for a new option. Less and less effort, then it takes over. You can support it, then get out of the way. Amazing class. I'd incorporate this every day. I have CPTSD and shaking is already a natural parasympathetic symptom for me. Taking the reins of that felt really good. My body has more access to that recovery. I feel great. My energy feels harmonized after. My whole body feels so much lighter now

I found it surprising how easy it was to tap the therapeutic neurogenic tremoring only after a few Shaking Medicine sessions. I have a few situations in my life that I believe the shaking can be really helpful. Now I really know what is helpful for me. It can be a quick solution and it feels really safe to me.

Shaking Medicine Teacher Training presented the foundations of Chinese Medicine that I can integrate into a movement practice for myself and also for others. It's very clear with the synced modalities how the Chinese Medicine comes across into this powerful practice.

I had my third session with Keith today and I shared how stressed and angry I have felt this week. I think part of it is because yesterday was the 2nd anniversary of my Mum's death and I'm still grieving her while also grieving other losses. However, whatever was causing it, doesn't excuse the reactionary behaviour I had including screaming at my 4 year old, throwing my mobile phone across the room because I couldn't log in, kicking boxes and literally tearing my hair out. Keith gave me a much more effective way of discharging that charge with tremoring and releasing noise and as I did the session with him I felt the sciatic pain that's been worse than ever this week releasing all the way down my leg and out of my foot. Now that we're finished I feel pain in my throat which is like unshed tears so I'll definitely do another session tomorrow to see if I can release this further

Today's shower ended with me kneeling on the floor sobbing. I was doing my shaking and somatic work (as I do sometimes in there) and I could feel some tenderness or distant emotion that wanted to be expressed. It wasn't bubbling over into tears so I just continued to observe and give myself loving attention and touch to my heart space. Then all of a sudden, I saw Cinnamon's face and the tears started flowing. Grief is funny like that, it just creeps up cyclically saying "hey there's another layer of letting go here". Cinnamon was my best friend for 15 years, of course it's going to be a process to accept and let go. I'm so grateful for this modality that allows these stuck emotions to surface effortlessly so that I may move into catharsis and continue to create spaciousness within. It is truly a remarkable gift. Forever grateful to my teacher Keith Motes for showing me this amazing life changing tool within

Keith lead my first ever Shaking Medicine experience at Confest (an alternative bush campout festival held in the south-eastern states of Australia) and coming from this pulping industry myself, I never experienced anything like this before and so to be able to work with the body to help process my emotions out was so helpful to me, and so I can see this will really make a difference to transforming many people's lives.

Hi Keith, I just wanted to let you know that your class this morning did come through the whole time until near the end... I was sending you a chat to let you know I could hear you and see you but I don't think you could see it. I experienced a powerful class and I had sensations of what felt like bubbles at the base of my spine. Thank you so much for bringing us shaking medicine. Along my journey I have had times when my body would go into spontaneous trembling. I didn't understand that it was release, that it was healthy and OK. It was a little scary and when I asked a couple people about it, they told me it was neurological damage. I didn't believe that lol. Still I was a little disturbed by it. How freeing and joyous, I feel now when it happens, when I welcome it. You have shown me that this is my body naturally releasing decades of stored emotions. Thank you thank you. Much love and see you soon

Hello, I just wanted to say that I have joined 2 of your shaking medicine classes on the insight timer and am really glad I came across it! Don't be disheartened that you haven't received so many donations yet, you may also be getting a lot more traffic to your website and courses by being on this platform. Or like me, I was so relaxed at the end of class that I didn't want to go and find my bank card to donate right then and there! I'm sure word will spread about the classes and more paying students will come your way. I didn't feel an awful lot during the first class but since then, now my body has been given permission to shake, it's been really going for it! I have been bursting out laughing at how unusual and full on it is. I feel both relaxed and energised, clear headed after practicing. I had 'stress induced epilepsy' when I was a child and am now making the link that my body must have been trying to let go of the stress that I was holding in back then. It's feels good now to allow my body to release and remain present for it, I feel completely safe doing so. Thanks for listening to the ramble! I have been telling lots of friends to try out your class. Best Wishes

Quick share, so yesterday after moderate/mild morning session, when I was driving hours later, my jaw started shaking spontaneously a little so I noticed and it grew in intensity and was the longest shake to date. 3-5 mins! Isn't that weird and cool! I never thought I held jaw tension, and how it came up by itself. And later in evening, I did a 5 min check in and I accessed my spine, shoulders, pelvic much more. Also the movements my body is making are sweeping, bigger gestures rather than trembles at times-it feels like someone is moving my body around. Lol

Heya Keith, hope it's ok messaging you, I'm not so good at commenting publicly! I'm guessing this won't come as a surprise to you, but after only 2 shaking sessions I've noticed a massive difference in my body physically.... Like crazy levels of improvement in mobility particularly in my hips, psoas and hip flexors feel the most spacious in decades! The right hip flexor has been 'stuck' for years. In my 2nd session earlier today there was deep tremoring in my hips and all sorts of weird noises going on... Growling and roaring at one point!! I was expecting to have to take it easy afterwards and let it integrate, but instead I felt the most energised I have for years and ended up being able to be active and without the awful pain I've been getting. If this is after just 2 sessions I can't begin to imagine what more will bring!! Thank you so much for bringing this to us all!!

Hello Keith! Nice to meet you, I'm Serena and it's been a month that I got into Somatic healing at first. I was so curious about how tremoring can help healing trauma and I decided to search info about it, this is how I found TRE. I think I watched everything I could find on YouTube. And then by listening to David Berceli I discovered you and your amazing project. I'm very glad to be here because I want to know more, learn more and experience new different ways of trying this practice. It is a month now that I am practicing tremoring almost every day, any time my body wants to. I love it, sooo much! Since then my life has changed forever. The relationship with myself and my body has changed so much! I had 2 nervous tics that have gone! I sleep so well and I can feel my emotions, my intuition so clearly. It is amazing, it is helping me a lot, in so many different beautiful aspects. I work with dogs and their families, I help people living in armory with their dogs. I had an intuition, I want to integrate tremoring with what I do. Dogs are masters in coregulation, as children. I feel it could be a totally new way of helping people, in a different way. Instead of seeing the dog as the problem to fix, I want to find a way to start focusing first on the regulation of the owner's nervous system. I had this intuition by observing how my dog Wise has changed since I started. Less reactive, more calm and solid. Less aggressive towards other males while we walk on the street and a lot of new beautiful reactions!! What do you think about it? Hope to know you one day! Thank you for what you have created. And for making it easy and accessible to anyone who hasn't a PhD in Quantum Physics.

Hi!:D You're very welcome! I've been having some interesting and beautiful shaking/tremoring/spontaneous movement lately as a part of some ketamine experiences, and I'm looking to further explore these, and bring them into a more daily practice sort of space. One of your videos popped up on my YouTube feed the day after one of these experiences, I gave it a click and felt a resonance. I've since watched a few more of your videos and I just really enjoy the energy you bring. I'm in a period of transition right now, uncertain of next steps... And your presence felt very comforting, open, and genuine. It gave me some relief from some of the self-imposed suffering I'm working through. Also, the phenomenon of shaking and tremoring is just very fascinating to me. I'm curious about it from a biological perspective, and I feel the value in it based on my direct experience. Thanks for putting this out into the world. And thank you for reaching out during a time where I needed that

Hello! It was so great to complete the beginners course. I've been slowly integrating it into my yoga asana practice. I notice shaking start to happen after doing warm up & asanas, when the muscles begin to fatigue a little. Playing around with integrating it throughout a practice and also as a block of shaking at the end, after inversions and before savasana. I hope I am on the right track here! Hope you are well!

It was just so perfect and deep and I found myself laughing a lot as I rolled around and contorted on the floor. We had a building collapse under the snow a year ago and last night was going to be my first time using the new space in the new building that we are finally able to use and for this exact kinda thing!... but I was unable to connect to internet in there and will get that sorted, but once I connected it was good to be just present. I love how the intention of saying yes to all of this has just opened a process that is so primal and wise and exact. Listening to where energy is gathering, often it was electrical sensations in my leg (that level has gone!... other sensations are there but just that, not some evil thing to get rid of)...now I understand these charged zones as stations to tune to! I mean serious deep listening! and the pandiculation is like an inner embrace of acceptance, love, release.... so incredibly beautiful it felt last night to share in with you all x

Hey there Keith! I just did a shaking session which was so powerful. I've been going through the beginner course again for the second time and it just keeps deepening. The other day I was working with what I perceived to be a reason to be. Once I felt, she yielded and I've been able to connect really profoundly with my own heart light. Simultaneously I felt the shield around mother earth's heart melt and we were connected, me with my cosmic mother, via a powerful umbilical cord of sorts. I felt this connection for the first time yesterday and did my shaking medicine practice this evening and I could feel a serious shift. The shake was so intuitive and I also felt I could ground more deeply into Mother Earth to discharge the energy that was ready to be released and recycled. This has been such a powerful journey so far Keith, one of connecting back with my primal intuitive power. Thank you thank you. You are a light in this world!

Shaking medicine with Nathalie Paul, amazing experience. Natural medicine through body movement. Yesterday I had a headache and was feeling nauseous and low energy all day from lack of sleep then after a 90 minute session of shaking medicine with Nathalie at Maroubra beach the headache and nausea was gone and I felt so much lighter, especially in the head. Highly recommend it

I started my Shaking Medicine journey at the beginning of the year, knowing it was a path I needed to pursue. Choosing to commit to the 1:1 coaching helped me stay focused and consistent on this path. As we are all unique, Keith took the time to listen to my specific needs and tailored the coaching and guidance accordingly. One of the biggest shifts for me has been learning to stay fluid, trust the process and allow things to flow more naturally. The commitment I made at the start of the year has helped me stay consistent on this path and Keith's support has been a valuable part of that journey. He is approachable, responsive and always open to communication when questions or challenges arise. I appreciate his ability to adapt and offer practical, fluid solutions that meet me where I am. Overall, the coaching has been a positive experience and has supported me in developing greater consistency, trust and connection with my own process.

Yesterday, I watched his live session, and afterward I intuitively felt called to try it myself. I started by shaking my hands, then my arms and shoulders followed, all the way down to my knees, which began to bounce naturally. After that, my mind became completely quiet, and my whole body started vibrating in its own intuitive way. Sounds came out of me naturally. Suddenly, from deep within, I began to laugh wholeheartedly — in a way I hadn't laughed for a very long time. My laughter became contagious for my daughter, and she started laughing with me. Afterwards, I did math homework with her. She had actually developed a mental block around math because of past experiences. But yesterday, thanks to the lightness and energy of that moment, everything shifted. She opened up and spoke about how she had been treated by her father's ex-wife two years ago. She said that nothing had ever been explained to her properly, that she had been forced to sit for hours until she solved the tasks, and that she wasn't even allowed to meet her friends. Yesterday, she finally expressed all of that. And then the miracle happened — she let go. I am so deeply grateful for what shaking can create. It frees me, and its effect reaches my daughter too. It feels so magical. Thank you for who you are, and thank you, Frank. Thank you for teaching Frank and for sharing your knowledge with the world, helping people through their healing process with support and guidance. Thank you for being you

Nowadays, there are many people who want to come out of their trauma, but they don't know the right way to do it. They don't understand how to overcome their past experiences that still affect their minds. So it's really a good thing that you are spreading this message to people and helping them learn something new, gain awareness, and move away from their anxiety and trauma.

Thanks Keith. I continue to suspect that Shaking Medicine knowledge could help so many people with the insomnia which comes with SSRI tapering - insomnia is a very common symptom. Makes sense while the ns recalibrates. When I wake in the night I now view it as my ns needing to process unfinished energy, and after shaking it is amazing how I immediately fall back into restful sleep. OK yea I'll do the 2nd class over next few days!

Dear Keith, your presence is definitely felt in the shala when I'm Shaking. So far it has been absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful healing tool to share with others that has given them relief and inner silence. Last night particularly, as those that have committed to come regularly are really feeling the benefits of that commitment. We definitely would love to have you back if Jindabyne is calling you. You are missed and revered when your name is spoken. I feel as though the spirit of Keith is summoned every time we shake. It is giving me great joy to practice and share Shaking. Much love to you and your family. I hope all is well and you are prospering. I'll put together a profile for the page in my tasks today. Thank you for all the love and support in developing and guiding me with Shaking and life. I have so much respect for you following your dharma and leading by example.

Hey Keith, I've actually met you before in Mullum and done one of your shaking medicine yoga classes:) Yes, well I have ptsd, quite severe. So shaking really helps to ground and release nervous tension

It was wild, seriously incredible. I found it easier in a couple of poses than others, and as I had suspected, the side of my injury went wild Biggest tremors where I had the biggest blockages, and then went up and down the spine, always including the head - straight after I felt really relaxed and at ease, and really comfortable in my body It still feels different later. Really cool Thank you what a gift! If I wereto summarize what this does to the body, I'd say this Amazing You facilitate the body into a state where it can naturally let go of tension in its own innate rhythm - all you have to do is trust your body can do that and get out of the way

The work we did together has profound impact on me, in particular when I put that intention regarding my relationship sector. It's life changing.
