ADRIAN Băjenaru
I am Adrian, founder of Somatic Shaking™ Method and I Help People Release Tension, Trauma, Pain Or Any Limitation with Shake, Pandiculation & Neurogenic Tremor
After nearly two decades immersed in somatics, holistic therapy, movement, energy work, and inner exploration, I arrived at something simple, primordial, and deeply human: shaking, tremor, and pandiculation.
Before doctrines, systems, or spiritual performance, there is the body itself: the body that trembles, stretches, releases tension, and instinctively seeks balance.
This understanding became the foundation of Somatic Shaking™, a body-based method combining dynamic shaking, neurogenic tremor, kundalini shaking, and pandiculation to support nervous system regulation, emotional release, fascia release, and embodied transformation.
My path has also included years of study in Kriya Yoga, Tantra Mahavidya, Tibetan tantric practices, Taoist internal alchemy, energetic medicine, symbolic systems, and therapeutic movement in India, Nepal, and Thailand, including time spent in ashram environments and traditional spiritual settings that shaped my understanding of the body, consciousness, and direct experience. I also hold a B.A. in Psychology (University of Bucharest), studied with Jure Bieckonski transpersonal psychology, ‘From Regression to Progression’.
Over time, I came to a simple realization: the highest work is not escaping the body. It is becoming fully present inside it.
Today, my work is about bringing transformation back into the body. into the nervous system, into movement, into breath, into sensation, and into everyday life.
BACKGROUND & BIOGRAPHY
I approached them and lowered my head, with a reverence woven from humility and a sacred kind of fear. They stood towering before me, like two foundation pillars of a forgotten world, their eyes burning with a light that seemed carved out of immortality itself.
They did not look at me as though I were merely a man, but as someone who had been awaited for a very long time. They placed into my hands an unusual sword. It was not large, yet its sharpness felt deeply unsettling, with two flawless edges, as if knowledge itself could either wound or liberate depending on the hand that wielded it. The blade curved in a continuous “S,” unfolding through eight flowing bends, like a living symbol of infinity. But it was the handle that both fascinated and disturbed me most. It was formed from the spine of a cobra, and within it pulsed something ancient and primordial, as though the weapon carried the memory of an older world, reptilian and eternal.
The moment I touched the sword, the two guardians, each standing well over three meters tall, bowed before me with solemn reverence, as though they were not offering me a weapon, but the burden of a lineage. A responsibility older than memory itself was changing hands. From that moment on, I was the one meant to continue. The torch had been passed. When I opened my eyes again, I had the unsettling sensation that they resembled theirs. Or perhaps my own eyes had borrowed something from their silent fire. I felt a hidden spring opening deep within the sacrum, overflowing with the water of life. From it rose a great cascade that defied gravity itself, ascending instead of falling, as though the heavens were drinking from the earth.” – Memories from my first Kundalini Awakening
Spirituality has never been separate from life for me. I believe real inner work makes a human being more grounded and more capable of facing reality, not less. From early childhood, I carried a deep longing, sensitivity, and fascination for what exists beneath the surface. My life has been an attempt to understand what I sensed instinctively within the body and consciousness long before I had language for it.
This has never been a conversion story. My path is one of refinement, giving form and direction to a nature that has always existed within me, sometimes as a gift, sometimes as a burden.
I later became a certified Yoga Alliance 200H teacher under the guidance of the Purna Yoga and Tao traditions. Over time, I deepened my studies in Wuji Gong and internal alchemy alongside Andrew Fretwell, within the school of internal alchemy inspired by the teachings of Michael Winn. It was there that I began to understand the body not merely as anatomy, but as a living laboratory of inner transformation, a space where energy, emotion, memory, and spirit continuously shape one another like metals being refined within an invisible fire.
For me, the great work was never about opening the third eye or awakening Kundalini energy. My first awakening came at the age of fourteen, and it was overwhelming for the level of preparation I had at that time, as though the gates of another reality had suddenly been forced open before a young mind had the structure to comprehend what it was witnessing. It was ecstasy, but also chaos. Light, but also an inner combustion I did not yet know how to contain.
Later, I came to understand something essential: reaching heightened states of consciousness is not necessarily the hardest part. Human beings can sometimes open spiritual gateways long before they are truly capable of inhabiting their own lives. My real challenge was never ascending toward the heavens, but descending fully into the body. To bring into flesh who I truly am. To remain here completely embodied, without escape, without masks, without taking refuge inside spiritual abstractions or the endless labyrinths of the mind.
This, in truth, became the work of my life. The great alchemy. Not the escape from being human, but the complete embodiment of it. And this is the crown I leave to you as well: to learn how to truly live your life within the body. To be here, now, in a state of radical presence where not only your spirit is awake, but also your flesh, your breath, your gaze, your voice, and every step you take upon this earth.
I do not believe in spiritual performance or empty philosophies. My work is rooted in direct experience: the nervous system, movement, breath, and the body’s natural intelligence.
Over two decades, I explored psychology, somatics, yoga, tantra, and internal arts across Asia. Holding a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Bucharest, my true understanding came from lived experience, showing me that the body already knows how to regulate and release when given the right conditions.
This is the foundation of Somatic Shaking™, a method combining shaking, neurogenic tremor, pandiculation, and breathwork for deep emotional and fascia release. Alongside this and Pandiculation.Org, I developed CallMeAdrianB.com, a polymathic platform exploring psychology, branding, AI, and human behavior. I have also authored several works on inner transformation, including my latest book, Unshakable: Shake Your Body, Free Your Mind.**
