Somatic Shaking

Begin to feel the natural movement in your body, the gentle sway as you bounce. Allow your arms to hang loosely by your sides, your shoulders soft and relaxed. Feel the energy beginning to build in your legs, moving up through your body. Gradually begin to shake your entire body, starting from your feet and moving upward. Feel your knees, hips, and shoulders loosen as you shake, allowing your body to move freely and naturally. Notice any areas of tension or tightness, and imagine shaking them loose, letting go of any stress or anxiety. Allow yourself to fully engage with this movement, feeling the release it brings. As you continue shaking, bring your awareness to your breath. Take deep, rhythmic breaths, matching the rhythm of your shaking. With each exhale, imagine releasing any tension, stress, or stagnant energy from your body. Feel the freedom in your movements, the sense of liberation as you let go of anything that no longer serves you. You might visualize yourself shaking off layers of stress, like dust being gently blown away by the wind. Allow the shaking to become more vigorous, engaging your whole body. Feel the energy moving through you, the vibrations waking up every cell in your body. Notice how your body responds to this movement—perhaps a sense of warmth or tingling, or a feeling of lightness as tension melts away. Allow yourself to be fully present with these sensations, letting your body move in whatever way feels natural and freeing. As you start to slow down the shaking, feel your body gradually coming back to stillness. Notice the sensations in your body—the tingling in your skin, the warmth in your muscles, the calm in your mind. Take a few deep breaths, allowing your body to absorb the energy and release any remaining tension. Feel a sense of grounding and relaxation, a connection to the earth beneath you. As we bring this practice to a close, stand still for a moment, feeling the effects of the shaking in your body. Notice if there is a sense of lightness, freedom, or perhaps a different sensation altogether. When you're ready, gently open your eyes or lift your gaze, carrying with you the energy and release that this practice has brought. Know that you can return to this somatic shaking whenever you need to release tension and reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm.
