Transformation

Before session 1        After session 10

"[Structural Integration] is a way of restructuring the physical body... Individuality begins in the physical self.  We recognize someone by a silhouette, a walk, the tilt of a head...
"Body and mind are as two sides of the same coin, and so the results of working with the body reach into the emotional, behavioral, even spiritual life of the individual....
"[Structural Integration] does not 'cure' symptoms.  The goal...is a more resilient, higher-energy system.  The organism then is itself better able to defend against illness and overcome stress... [The aim] is to establish balance in gravity...  Bodies have a natural liking for uprightness, comfort, and ease.  Insofar as they can experience it, they try to live in a place of balance.  In this place, the energy of gravity can flow with (not counter to) the energy of the individual."
