Have you ever noticed how animals instinctively shake after a stressful event? It’s their body’s way of discharging built-up tension and signaling safety to the nervous system. Humans have this same built-in reset button but most of us suppress it. Shaking is one of the simplest forms of somatic release. Gentle movements like bouncing on your heels, shaking out your arms, or letting your whole body tremble can help release stored stress and trauma that words alone can’t reach. It’s not about “pe

SHAKING OFF: Dogs appear to need to ‘shake off’ adrenaline, stress, tension, or any form of arousal both positive & negative. It appears to be a way of re-setting and has been shown to lower pulse rate. It’s super useful to know about because you can use it as a gauge as to how difficult or arousing your dog just found something (if you notice them shake off, you might consider whatever has just happened to have more relevance than you realised), as well as how quickly your dog is able to recove

Why don’t humans “shake it off” like animals do? Peter Levine explains that shaking is the body’s innate way of releasing energy after a threat, restoring balance to the nervous system. While animals instinctively discharge this energy, humans often suppress it, leading to stored tension and unresolved trauma. The good news? With the right guidance, we can reconnect with this natural ability—even years after the event. Healing isn’t about reliving the past; it’s about letting your body complete

Here is why you NEED to shake 🫨 If you watch an animal, it will shake its body after a trauma or stressful situation. We don’t do this, instead we store the stress and trauma and emotions in our bodies.. That doesn’t mean is GONE 🫣 Shaking the body daily even for a few minutes can help release some of this stuck energy and bring you back into balance 😝 We had a discussion in my sister circle last night, which is a gathering held every week with my living in light course ladies.

What is a stress releasing shake in dogs? Dogs, like us, have emotions and sometimes find things stressful and overwhelming. The “dry shake off” is your dog's response to dealing with stress or feelings. When done in safe play it can be a sign that they are healthily managing their emptions. #dogemotion #dogfeeling #dogcommunication
