DD: Carbon series; Silicon series; Lanthanides.IntroductionThey long for deep relationships. They can get easily disappointed by their spouse and others when they are too superficial. The result is that they prefer to stay solitary, retiring somewhere, far away from culture and civilisation, even in the desert. There they direct themselves to self-study and self-development. They long for spiritual development.ConstrictionConstriction is the strongest sensation. It is the feeling of being restricted, limited, compressed, squeezed, condensed, narrowed and shriveled. They have the feeling that there is not enough space for them and they long for the opposite in the form of space, open air, free room. There is the theme of contraction versus expansion. This theme can also occur in love problems, too open hearted or too closed.CompanyThey have this feeling especially in company. They long for company, warmth and being together. But on the other hand they are wary of company for fear of not being understood, not being heard and being misused. Then they retire, become silent and do not want to have contact at all anymore. Inside their emotions are still lively but held in, compressed, restricted. They can even become quite irritable, thorny when people try to make contact with them in that state. Then they feel too vulnerable to open themselves, they have the feeling that they will get lost.LoveVery important is the desire for love. They want to love people and want to be loved. Their love has a universal character and can become religious and mystic. But it can also be just very romantic and tender. They have an aversion to aggression and rudeness. They are often very emotional and even ecstatic once they open themselves. It is a desire for oneness, almost mystical, easily becoming religious feelings.ReligiousThey can be very religious. They feel love as mystic and spiritual. It brings them in contact with the spirits of nature and the Gods. This can be expressed in meditation, praying and philosophy.SexualThe desire for contact can also be expressed in sexuality. There they can open themselves completely in a desire to express the perfect love. Or they can withdraw, closing themselves completely as in vaginismus.MindFear: narrow places, claustrophobia, crowds, cities, rudeness, aggression, disease, heart.
