From the description by Choo Thomas below, who experiences the same shaking, you are being prepared for the work God has called you to do.  Many have prophesied a final outpouring of the Holy Spirit is coming.  This could be what your shaking is about and indication of the nearness of this coming outpouring.  People in the US and other nations are praying once a week, each Wednesday at noon, for the coming of this final great outpouring.
 
"Pastor Randolph spoke these words over me during a special Sunday service at Puget Sound Christian Center in Tacoma, Washington.  As he did, the familiar anointing of the Holy Spirit welled up deep in my spirit, and my body began to shiver and quake under the power of God.

"I had another profound spiritual experience on Easter Sunday 1995.  While attending services with my family at Puget Sound Christian Center, my body began to shake violently, and we had to stay for second service.  I was experiencing the same phenomenon known among Quakers, Shakers and early Pentecostals.  Since then, my body never stops shaking in church or during my prayer time at home...I BELIEVE THESE exciting and unusual experiences are preparation for the work God has called me to.
 
"I began to weep tears of joy and gratitude as I realized that God had chosen me to be one of His servants in these last days.  The Lord flooded me with His loving warmth, and the heat of His presence made the experience seem as if I were resting on a feather bed on a summer day...

"Just before He visits each time, my earthly body quivers and quakes for at least twenty minutes.  I do not understand everything about this, but I know that He is releasing His power into my being.  Sometimes these preparatory periods last for a half-hour or more.

"Please don’t ask me why this is necessary, because only He knows the reason for each experience.  He has simply told me, over and over again, that He is getting me ready for the ministry He has called me to.  Usually when this occurs, my body shakes and my stomach tightens.  Deep groans emerge from my spirit, and I perspire profusely.  I believe the groans are those described by the apostle Paul:  Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.  For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26).
