Pandiculation & Tremoring with Dr. Keith Motes

Pandiculation is your body’s natural squeeze-stretch-and-yawn reset — an instinctive healing mechanism just as powerful as neurogenic tremoring. In this 4-week series, Dr. Keith Motes guides you through a progressive roadmap for awakening both voluntary and spontaneous pandiculation, then merging it seamlessly with your tremoring practice.

This is the first time Dr. Keith is sharing this system — developed within the Shaking Medicine community — with the wider Neurogenic Integration ecosystem. Expect deep somatic release, melting of chronic stress and tension, and an effortless expansion of your nervous system’s self-regulating capacity.

This workshop is free for members, if you have a membership please login to see the zoom link.

What You Will Learn

Understand pandiculation — the science and lived experience of your body’s autogenic squeeze-stretch-yawn reset mechanism.
Distinguish voluntary pandiculation from spontaneous pandiculation, and understand how they mirror the voluntary/spontaneous spectrum in tremoring.
Systematically explore voluntary pandiculation across multiple shapes, themes, and body areas to safely teach your nervous system what it is.
Transition fluidly into spontaneous pandiculation, allowing your body to take over and do what it was born to do.
Merge spontaneous pandiculation with your neurogenic tremoring to create a powerful, self-sustaining cycle for somatic release.
Dissolve chronic stress, anxiety, deep-held tension, suppressed emotions, and trauma — without force.
Unlock a sustainable sense of ease, energy, and embodied vitality.

Program Flow/Process

Over four weeks, you’ll be guided through a systematic and progressive exploration of pandiculation — beginning with voluntary movements across many shapes, themes, and areas of the body. By embodying it intelligently, you teach the nervous system what it is and that it’s safe, allowing a natural shift into the deeper state of spontaneous pandiculation. From there, spontaneous pandiculation merges with your neurogenic tremoring, creating a profound cycle for deep somatic release — melting chronic stress, anxiety, tension, suppressed emotions, and trauma, and bringing in effortless nervous system regulation. No force. Just your body’s ancient wisdom doing what it was born to do.

What To Prepare

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows free movement
A space where you can comfortably lie down and stand up
A yoga mat or soft surface is helpful but not required
Water nearby — and no agenda afterwards, so you can rest if needed

Why You Need to Join:

You already know the power of tremoring. Now imagine pairing it with another ancient, instinctive reset your body has always known how to do — but perhaps never had permission to fully express. Pandiculation is that missing piece. When the two come together, the release goes deeper, the regulation lasts longer, and something in your nervous system finally exhales. This is body wisdom in its most distilled, effortless form. No technique. No forcing. Just you, coming home.

Dr. Keith Motes

Dr. Keith Motes is the founder of the Shaking Medicine Foundation, a Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist, Yoga & Qi Gong Teacher, and Quantum Physicist (PhD). He bridges somatic wisdom with scientific insight to help people awaken their innate healing intelligence.

Keith’s journey into this work began unexpectedly near the end of his PhD, when his body spontaneously began to tremble, pandiculate, and release long-held childhood trauma — trauma he hadn’t even consciously known was there. That direct encounter with his body’s primal healing intelligence sparked a profound awakening and inspired him to create the Shaking Medicine Foundation.

Today, Keith is dedicated to helping people safely access and navigate autogenic movement for nervous system regulation, trauma release, emotional integration, and vibrant embodied living — from his base in Bali, Indonesia.
