ABSTRACT In structural integration, practitioners pay attention to the client’s body orientation in space, how they move on the ground, and the qualities they have when organizing vertically in gravity. Taken all together, there is a resonance as to how a person orients to their outer world and their inner world. In this article, Jörg Ahrend-Löns describes this resonance in relationship with developmental and structural responses to gravity. He presents the postural triangle, where the foot is considered a sensory structure intimately involved in organizing a person’s structure in gravity, alongside the vestibular and visual systems. Several examples are presented. Ahrend-Löns explains how to access feeling resonance with breath and how structural integration is, in a way, translating the resonant language of the body so that clients may have more freedom of movement and a deepened sensitivity to staying in the present moment.
