What is Shaking Medicine®?
Shaking Medicine® is seen as one of the “rituals of resilience”. It is a way to develop resilience and release and let go of built-up stress, tension, and trauma. Shaking Medicine® is a body-based (somatic) approach to stress, tension, and trauma release.
Benefits of Regular Practice:
Practicing Shaking Medicine® not only helps to bring balance into our bodies (and life!) but releases deep-seated muscular tension, stress, and mild trauma. These monthly classes will enable you to understand your nervous system, and you will have a chance to learn and practice the Shaking Medicine® method.
Come, shake it off and shake your way to good health!
Shaking Medicine® is sometimes referred to as Bioenergetics or Trauma Release. It is one of the world’s oldest self-help medicines.
Shaking, rocking, vibration and oscillation are natural human reactions to: Stress, Trauma & Ecstatic states. Shaking Medicine® is, in short, the healing power of ecstatic movement. Inspired by and brought to us by nature. The practice of Shaking is known by many: Quakers, Gnostics, Taoists, Yoginis, First Nations peoples, Sufis, Druids, Zen Buddhists and more.
We are inspired by teachers such as Peter Levine, Bradford Keeney, Osho, Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, John Peirakkos, David Bercelli.
“Trauma recovery work has got to develop a new paradigm, because the paradigm that we have now is based on post-traumatic stress disorder and you go to a one to one therapist. You cannot do that with large groups of people. So there has got to be a new paradigm shift in the realization of “how do we do recovery from PTSD on a large scale population?” How do we get whole groups of people, like villages for example, or an entire school system healed? So that’s the first paradigm shift, we have to change our concept of PTSD recovery so that we can work on a large scale.”
– Dr. David Bercelli
