Reverence
Family: Novelty and attention
How it differs from similar states
A sense of stillness before something immense; feeling both small and open.
How this can feel in the body
You freeze, feeling small—your body pauses before something greater than yourself.

What this might be pointing to
Expands your sense of self; inspires the search for meaning—triggered by something grand.
