shake, wave, wag, swing
振 centers on a hand-driven back-and-forth motion: shaking, waving, wagging, or swinging something.
振 combines 扌 (hand) with 辰, which likely contributes the sound and may relate to shaking or movement. The exact historical role of 辰 is uncertain.
A hand 扌 beside 辰, which looks like a person shaking a tool. Picture a hand waving a flag back and forth.
For シン, imagine a shin bone shaking when you wave your leg: shin -> シン, and the hand 扌 makes it swing.
