Your name of Rakim gives you independence and determination. You will not tolerate dominance by others because your freedom means too much to you. Under circumstances when others are expressive, you feel inferior because you recognize your inability to communicate your deeper thoughts and feelings. Exploration and scientific research into the fundamental laws under which life functions captivate your interest. Lavish affection tends to embarrass you, yet often you desire to be natural, and to seek affection and understanding from those closest to you. You experience peace in nature and, through observing nature, can acknowledge the harmony and the harshness of life that applies to nature’s laws of instinct and survival. From early in life, you have asserted your individuality, learning through your own experiences, relying upon your ingenuity and practical creativity to accomplish your objectives. You have a few good friends who enjoy similar activities. You feel this separation from others and would give anything to be always lighthearted and friendly instead of serious and shy. The restrictions of this name cause you to suffer with either headaches, weak eyes, sinus problems, asthma, or heart conditions.
