Exploring the Power of Movement: Healing Post Traumatic Stress Through Poetry and Shaking

Healing Post Traumatic Stress by Shaking

Healing starts within, a journey deep,

Embrace the tremors, secrets you keep. 

A shaking body, a trembling soul,

Letting go of burdens taking their toll. 

Languid muscles, stiff and tight,

In shaking, find release from the fight. 

No longer bound by memories’ chains,

Giving way to sun through windswept plains. 

Post-traumatic stress, a heavy shroud,

Overwhelms the spirit, speaks aloud. 

Of terrors faced, of battles fought,

Struggles deep within, fiercely caught. 

Trapped emotions, a captive heart,

Releasing the pain, setting it apart. 

Unburdening oneself, releasing the fear,

Memories' grip less and less severe. 

Trauma's echoes, a haunting sound,

Release is found on shaking ground. 

Releasing the tension deep within,

Unraveling the threads of pain and sin. 

Mending the cracks of a broken mind,

A new pathway to peace, we shall find. 

To shake it off, to let it go,

To breathe anew, to freely grow. 

Shaking the body, freeing the soul,

Tremors and shivers, making you whole. 

Releasing the past, the hurt and the dread,

Rebuilding oneself from the ashes instead. 

Each tremble a step toward the light,

Moving forward, with all your might. 

Shaking off shadows, embracing the day,

Shaking off burdens that weigh us down today. 

Shaking out darkness to find brighter beams,

Shaking out sorrow, to follow your dreams. 

Shaking off anger, releasing your fears,

Shaking away doubt through the passing years. 

Shaking off the weight of yesterday's pain,

Shaking towards hope, towards sun and rain. 

Shaking off the chains that have bound you so tight,

Shaking to the future, full of strength and light. 

Shaking away anguish to breathe free at last,

Shaking towards healing, shadows overcast. 

Shaking until peace finds you gently at length,

Shaking the burdens of anger and strength. 

Shaking off the torment, and finding grace,

Shaking into stillness, finding your place. 

Shaking the memories that cause you such pain,

Shaking through the darkness and sunlight again. 

Shaking releases the knots in your heart,

Shaking is a pathway to healing's restart. 

Shaking the past and embracing the new,

Shaking off despair and holding on true.
