Shaking Medicine
Shaking Medicine is possibly the oldest medicine on earth. It is simply the ecstatic uncontrolled shaking of the body. 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. Most animals use shaking as a way of charging and discharging the body, quickly finding a trance in moments of crises and trauma. Shaking has been used as a form of healing in cultural traditions from around the world--from the Shakers and Quakers of New England to the shaking medicines of Japan, India, the Caribbean, the Kalahari, and the Indian Shakers of the Pacific Northwest. In our Western cultures, uncontrolled shaking is uncivilised, shameful … but is a place of deep connection with the rest of the earth, a place of deep healing.
In our Western cultures, uncontrolled shaking is uncivilised, shameful … but is a place of deep connection with the rest of the earth, a place of deep healing. Wilhelm Reich showed us how trauma can transform into ecstasy through spontaneous vibration. In individual work on your own or with a guide – the simple event of paying attention to the body where there is old fear and anger, stress and tension, placing a hand lovingly, breathing in that place … can allow an involuntary shaking to emerge which permits your body to discharge ancient stress in a safe way. All cells have their vibration and they carry memory of our trauma and all that has ever been in the universe. In this way we directly tap into our innate body wisdom, which in turn gives greater power and authenticity to the journey. It is a place for diagnosis, for healing, for bringing an energetic balance.
Shamanic Spiritual Counselling connects with your body nature, allowing you to express, discharge and recharge your vital energy.
In Ecstatic Shamanistic Dance the uncontrolled and spontaneous movement is the medium for a journey which activates and energises the physical cells in our bodies.
