NARM Affect Core Principle: Energetics of Emotion
§Reichians looked at affects from an energetic perspective;
we can also view this through the lens of The Polyvagal Theory:
1. ANGER: movement of energy from core to musculature [Sympathetic]
2. ANXIETY/FEAR: movement of energy from periphery to core [Dorsal Vagal]
3. PLEASURE/ALIVENESS: movement of energy from core to
periphery [Ventral Vagal/Social Engagement]
Aliveness
