Integration is as much a state as a property of a healthy pulsation of the life force. It means to bring something together, connect it to "wholeness". In body psychotherapy this means not just to work with the Outstroke, but also with the Instroke, the inward movement of the pulsation. Since it is the Introke which enables us to make contact to te center, the core - to the essence of a human being and its integration. With this article I woud like to present a functional understanding of integration and a holistic approach. In favor of understanding the principles I have chosen as simple examples as possible and made an attempt to avoid professional jargon whilst aiming for congruence in my wording.
