The subtle shock movement after a drop of holy water hits a part of the body. This can be a little instant reminder to get back to the path of God’s righteousness.

Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, ‘Get up and eat.’ He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.

1 Kings 19:5-7

There is a sudden impulse that occurs when being suddenly awakened. In this case, we are awakened by the touch of an angel.

She came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her bleeding stopped.

Luke 8:44

The edge of Jesus’ cloak subtly touches different parts of the body causing the body to react in healing impulses.

St. Therese of Lisieux (1873 – 1897) “shower of roses” symbolizes both a physical and spiritual manifestation of her promised intercession from heaven. While on her deathbed, Therese could witness the blooming rose bushes outside, reflecting her love for roses and her childhood devotion of throwing rose petals on the Blessed Sacrament. Despite her humble and hidden life, she held a deep faith that God had significant plans for her beyond earthly existence. Therese anticipated her mission to continue in heaven, vowing to shower the earth with roses and to bring forth a multitude of little saints. After her death, this promise materialized as miraculous occurrences, including the sudden appearance and fragrance of roses, as well as reported healings and spiritual transformations attributed to her intercession, fulfilling her mission to make God loved on earth.¹

St. Therese’s rose petal falls from the sky, touching the body that react in impulses of love for God.

Bob Larson‘s Bible in his exorcisms is used as a physical sword of the Word of God which when used once provokes in those being delivered an immediate painful shock.

The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded. He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.

Psalm 18:13-14

When engaged in jest play, one acting as the enemy feels God’s lightening jolts.

(1) The shock reaction of Jesus walking on water (Matthew 14:26).

(2) The shock reaction of the people when the paralyzed man is healed (Acts 3:1).

(3) The shock reaction of the crowd when Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead (John 11:43-44).

But if I say, ‘I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,’ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

Jeremiah 20:9

When the Holy Spirit takes over, it can feel like fire is stuck inside the body and the body will shake uncontrollably.

Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.

Acts 28:5

Shake out the darkness one has into the fire.

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.

Acts 16: 25-34

Move with the shaking of an earthquake that not only shakes the ground, but also breaks the shackles.

One of the possibilities of being touched by the Holy Spirit is this inability to contain all this fire, and in some people it results in bouts of laughter that will shake whole body.

Sometimes when we are at points of deep surrender, we might have possible deep cries which causes convulsions in our diaphragm which can shake the whole body.

And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling.

2 Corinthians 7:15

There is a very common misconception when it comes to fearing God. Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel put it like this. Being a God-fearing person does not mean being scared of God, but rather about having reverential awe. One has a fear of Him, not in the sense of being frightened that He’ll punish one severely over a mistake, but rather, it is a fear rooted in not wanting to disappoint Him. The devotee of God becomes cautious not to do anything wrong because of the fear of hurting His heart because His love is so immense that it’s not he doesn’t deserve getting his heart broken.

In this way, we can tremble before god due to how profoundly awesome and loving he is in comparison to us sinners. These trembles then are sacred.

There is a fish which is also a symbol of Christianity and faith. The body is empty except for water and one feels the fish swimming throughout the different parts of the body. The body moves accordingly. Gradually the fish multiply. Do the fish take us on a journey of faith or walking in the path of Christ?

Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones tremble. I am like a drunken man, like a strong man overcome by wine because of the Lord and his holy words.

Jeremiah 23:9

When the Spirit of God takes over, we can appear as drunks. Even in Acts while in Pentecost, Paul says, “These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning!” (Acts 2:15)

Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Matthew 8: 24-27

   I abandoned and forgot myself,

   laying my face on my Beloved;

   all things ceased; I went out from myself,

   leaving my cares

   forgotten among the lilies. 

Saint John of the Cross, The Dark Night (1576)

Feel sway and waves that occur while standing or laying on a lily pad.

Become a gently swaying menorah candle which represents spiritual illumination. Just as the menorah was the only source of light for the entire Tabernacle, Jesus Christ teaches us that He is the one true source of our light.

This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel. As they moved, they would go in any one of the four directions the creatures faced; the wheels did not change direction as the creatures went. Their rims were high and awesome, and all four rims were full of eyes all around.

Ezekiel 1:16-18

We utilize this description of the choirs or Thrones class of angel to dance the Ezekiel’s Wheels in our body via anything in our body that is able to rotate.

Say to them, ‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, people of Israel?’

Ezekiel 33:11

Let the turning of a body parts represent the turning away from evil, and turning toward God.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

Psalm 22:6

Here David shows his vulnerability and humility as a human being. We can squirm within the body as a sign of humility and being not just any worm, but God’s worm.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.

Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’” So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.

Ezekiel 37:4-10

Initially, experience the sensation of being mere dry bones on the ground. Then, feel the bones move as if manipulated by an external force, akin to the handling a suspended human skeleton model. The bones are not yet alive.

After experiencing this dry skeleton world, return to the ground as a sack of lifeless and motionless dry bones. Then, feels the miracle of God. The marrow of the bones begin filling with Life, The Holy Spirit. Tendons and muscles begin to generate. The organs and the skin regenerate. Christ’s breath resurrects the body to a standing position. The dance of the resurrected warrior begins.
