What are your Six Fundamental needs and how do you meet them?
We all have SIX FUNDAMENTAL NEEDS in common:
Identity: The need to know and be seen as our Unique Selves.
Stability: The need to have some Certainty that our needs will be met.
Expansion: The ability to Grow and Expand our consciousness.
Belonging: The feeling of Connection with self, spirit, and others.
Excitement: The need for Uncertainty, Change, and Spontaneity.
Contribution: The ability to make a Difference and Matter in a valuable way.
By looking at these, you can see that I have not included things like food, water, and shelter, because having these physical needs met is part of the core need of Stability.
Its ok to be INTERDEPENDENT, to a degree. We depend on hundreds of people every day to ensure the water we drink gets to our mouths (unless we drink from streams) and to create the food we eat, the cars we drive, our clothes, products, housing and just about everything else if you are living in the United States or other developed societies (if you are reading this you likely have access to technology, created by hundreds alone). So Interdependency is not what we are talking about here.
These are consciousness needs, and we can meet these needs in disempowering ways if we are not aware, or are unconscious, that we have them in the first place. AND GUESS WHAT? We will still need others to help us with our reflections of having these needs met. I'll offer a whole huge segment on each of these needs and how to know if we are meeting them in empowered or disempowered ways, but for now, you will know the difference by the degree of neediness you still feel even after you think you got what you wanted, or the sadness you feel when you don’t.
