HEAL TRAUMA with Bioenergetic Shaking - Bioenergetics Explained

In Bioenergetic Shaking we shake our muscles to release neurotic holding patterns. Does shaking heal trauma? Shaking, vibrations, and cathartic release are all part of bioenergetics healing techniques but they need to be well understood so that it doesn't seem like a fairytale. Here I do my best to explain the benefits of Bioenergetic Shaking.

Vibrations (shaking) in our body are caused by an energetic charge in our neuromuscular system and are like the vibration occurring in an electrical wire when a current passes through it. Analogous to measuring the degree of voltage in a wire, the degree of vibration in a person’s body tells us what shape it is in.

In a body, “gross” vibrations (large and sporadic vibrations) are a sign that the excitation (or charge) is not freely flowing. Just like rapids in a river let us know that rocks are impeding the smoothness of the course, so too do these gross vibrations (shaking) show us that the current of excitation is flowing through spastic muscles that are most likely in a state of chronic tension (Neurotic Holding Patterns). When the tensions are released or the muscles relax, these vibrations become “finer,” hardly perceptible on the surface and we can even experience them as a delightful purr.

To test what shape our body is in, the postures in bioenergetics put muscles, or muscle groups, under a degree of controlled, intelligent stress. This will lead certain muscles in our bodies to naturally shake. Through these vibrations, we will be releasing neurotic holding patterns and begin to feel muscles in our bodies that have become “dead zones.” Focusing on feeling our bodies during the vibrations and breathing deeply as learned in the last module will increase the level of vital energy in our system, thereby supporting the release to go deeper.

Our objective during these stressful exercises is to keep these natural vibrations going even as the excitement (charge) builds, and the stress increases. To accomplish this, our egos need to be unafraid to go with our body’s involuntary responses. In time, we will be increasing our body's tolerance for excitation and pleasure while noticing that the vibrations are becoming finer. The result will be that we are no longer bound by chronic muscular holding patterns and their corresponding psychological/emotional manifestations will be experienced less and less. This will result in bodily movements and behavior that have a high degree of spontaneity and yet are coordinated and effective, demonstrating a high quality of natural grace.

In his book “The Way to Vibrant Health,” Alexander Lowen states that “One can only achieve grace by increasing the motility of the body, then infusing it with self-awareness to yield a high degree of self-possession. The mark of a graceful and gracious person is his self-possession.” This means that through performing these vibratory exercises, we will also develop the corresponding psychological attitude of being gracious. This is achieved through an internal feeling of unity and integrity that leads to what Lowen calls “self-possession.” Through this state of being, we will begin to behave with a natural sincerity in thought and action, which is very graceful and attractive.
