Recent anthropological literature shows that members of various cultures use tremoring practices for healing. The anthropologist Barbara Tedlock (2005: 83–85) describes trembling among a wide range of cultural groups as practice to use “vital energy” to facilitate healing. Keeney (2007: 2) perceives “the shake” as “the oldest medicine on earth.”
These tremors can move through the whole body (Keeney 2007: 52). The San woman |Am describes this experience in the following words: “It feels like there is a hole going through your body. You tremble in rhythm, even your crotch trembles. If you reach !aia[healing trance], you call out for water, because you are hot inside. Even if you don’t know the songs, you can !aia. The n|om itself tells you how to sing and dance.”
Maybe there's actually something to 'speaking in tongues", which always seemed like a bizarre ritual to me
