Hypervigilance is identified through sensations in the body, particularly in the heart center and chest area, with energy moving up and a sense of speed indicating hypervigilance. Hypervigilance is associated with tightness, internal rules, compartmentalizing, and a barrier to express emotions. Physical manifestations may include tightness in the body, tension in the jaw, and pressure on the galatal diaphragm in the throat. This state is likened to a horse constantly being pulled back by the reins, reflecting a sense of restriction and control.
