The Desire to Experience Vitality 

This is the desire to be connected to, and at ease in your physical body with an effortless sense of vitality.

The fundamental pain when this desire is directly threatened is terror. Less direct threats are also experienced as physical pain.

As people move towards fulfilling this desire, they generally experience an easier sense of being present on the earth and standing on their own two feet (which is often accompanied by healthy increases in bone density). People with chronic digestive problems and gut-felt anxiety may begin to feel calmer and more grounded. People with chemical sensitivities and hyper-active immune responses may start to have an easier relationship with their environment. Also, people with high or low blood pressure may find that their blood pressure regulation improves as they simply become more comfortable being present here and now.

Life becomes less threatening, and simply being becomes more comfortable.

When this desire is fulfilled a person can feel full of vitality. You can feel a strong sense of presence in life connected to, and supported by the earth.

"I had a really positive result from our last session. For the first time in – how many months – maybe 8? – I have been sleeping well. And dreaming, and waking up with this feeling, half remembered – oh, yeah, I feel happy! I can’t tell you what a relief it’s been."
