To perform a somatic shake, find a comfortable space, start with gentle movements like stretching to warm up, then allow your body to shake naturally by initiating movement in your hands and wrists, gradually letting the shaking spread throughout your body, focusing on deep breathing throughout the process, and slowly coming to stillness once you feel ready, all while paying close attention to your body's sensations and letting go of tension with each shake; you can either stand with feet hip-width apart or sit depending on your preference. 

Key points to remember:

• Find a comfortable space: Choose a quiet area where you can move freely without distractions. 

• Warm up: Begin with gentle stretches or light movement to prepare your body. 

• Start small: Initiate shaking by gently moving your hands and wrists, then allow the movement to spread naturally. 

• Focus on breath: Breathe deeply throughout the process, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. 

• Listen to your body: Pay attention to where you feel tension and allow the shaking to move through those areas. 

• Gradually slow down: As you feel calmer, start to gently decrease the intensity of the shaking and transition into stillness. 

Important considerations:

• Consult a professional: If you have any concerns about practicing somatic shaking, especially if you have experienced significant trauma, consult a qualified somatic therapist before attempting it on your own. 

• Be mindful of your body: If you experience any discomfort or pain, stop immediately and adjust your movements accordingly. 

• Don't force it: Let the shaking happen naturally and trust your body's response.
