      PERSONALITY TRAITS: The person that has difficulty building and sustaining energetic charges in the heart, lung and chest area tends to be passive more than aggressive, prone to depression and actions are motivated by a sense of fear and inferiority. Because she or he continually experiences a small portion of self-generated feelings of love and connectedness, they may feel they need to be charged and inspired by the life energies of others. Consequently, these people tend to be more "taker" than "giver". They may be moody often feeling anguish and despair. Chest-contractive persons tend to have deflated egos.

     The puffed-up chested person may easily express loud emotions, anger and rage, then apologize afterwards, yet seemed to be embarrassed to cry or show soft emotions. They need to appear to be in control. Feelings of tenderness and receptivity are buried deep and the overemphasis on the upper body draws energy away from feeling and sexual centers. The over-expanded chest is indicative of a blown-up ego. These people tend to suffer from chronic anxiousness, hypertension, high blood pressure and are possibly inclined towards tuberculosis and heart problems.
