As a somatic sexuality coach, I've dedicated myself to helping individuals break free from societal constraints and reclaim their power over their bodies and sexuality. In a recent interview, I had the opportunity to delve into the transformative practice of shaking medicine. This is a powerful tool for reconnecting with our innate wisdom and releasing stress, illness and pain.

For centuries, there has been a concerted effort to ingrain in us societal norms that aim to confine individuals to narrow, restrictive roles of gender and authority. When one steps out of these norms to move, speak, dress or behave in ways that break with the norms they have been subject to ridicule, threat and even death.

It’s no wonder many of us feel embarrassed for simply being ourselves in a world that wishes everyone would conform. The programming, deeply rooted in misogyny and patriarchy, instills shame around our bodies and suppresses our natural expressions of our sexuality. But through shaking medicine, we can challenge these norms and reclaim our autonomy.

The Essence of Shaking Medicine

Shaking medicine supports us in reconnecting with our bodies' innate wisdom and natural rhythms. Moving, dancing, shaking, and twerking are not merely frivolous activities but essential expressions of our emotions and truths. Our bodies are instinctively drawn to music, urging us to move and sway in harmony with the rhythm.

This connection to our bodies is not something new to be learned but rather something innate to remember. As children, we naturally moved and wiggled, but societal norms often reprimanded us for being too restless. Shaking medicine is a certified form of wiggling. It’s a way to reclaim our natural movements and embrace our authenticity.

Embrace Your Authentic Self

Whether you're seated in a chair or standing upright, shaking medicine can be practiced anywhere. It encourages you to let go of inhibitions and allow your body to express itself freely. Through intentional shaking and bouncing, you can release pent-up emotions, tap into your inner wisdom, and reconnect with your true self. Shaking and wiggling also serves to detox the body from stress lurking in the tissues, while revitalizing the system by activating the lymphatic network.

Embracing shaking medicine is an act of reclaiming agency over your body and challenging the oppressive forces that seek to suppress your natural expressions. By honoring the wisdom of your body and embracing your erotic empowerment, you can cultivate a deeper sense of self-acceptance, confidence, and liberation.
