SHAKING MEDICINE dissipates trauma energies that we otherwise absorb to our detriment. It can also be fun and energising - as in shaking dances.

It can also TERMINATE a troubling energetic experience, create a boundary and clear space for our next - or a new - experience, rather than stress and misery colouring and dictating the quality of our next experience as we move through our day.
Absorbing OR negatively-reacting to trauma can be SELF-DISEMPOWERING... SHAKING can be LIBERATING, GROUNDING, ENERGISING & SELF-EMPOWERING!!
Most people's worst fear is losing control - of their circumstances, of their emotions, and especially of their bodies. Yet in order to achieve the transcendent state necessary to experience deep healing, we must surrender control. Examining cultural traditions from around the world where shaking has been used as a form of healing--from the Shakers and Quakers of New England to the shaking medicine of Japan, India, the Caribbean, the Kalahari, and the Indian Shakers of the Pacific Northwest.
In his famous manual on SHAKING MEDICINE [http://www.Amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1594771499/specialoffer0f-21], Bradford Keeney shows how shaking can bring forth profound therapeutic benefits. He reports the full spectrum of the healing cycle that occurs when moving from ecstatic arousal to deep trance relaxation.
He also explains how the alternating movement produced while shaking brings all the body's energetic systems into balance. He includes practical exercises in how to shake for physical therapeutic benefit, and he shows how these techniques lead ultimately to the shaking medicine that both enables and enhances emotional and spiritual attunement.
