What is Immobile?

A physiological freeze: the body stops. Heart rate drops, muscles lose tone, breath becomes shallow and slow.

When you might feel immobile

Immobile is a specific form of paralyzed, which itself is a type of frozen. You might experience this feeling in situations where frozen is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define immobile.
