Bradford Keeney details his initiation into the shamanic tradition of the Kalahari Bushmen. He was drawn to this tradition, wherein dancers' bodies shake uncontrollably during healing ceremonies, with hopes that it might explain his own ecstatic "shaking, " which he first experienced at the age of 19. Keeney went on to dance with the Bushmen for more than a dozen years.
