VENTRAL FRONTING
●●●
The torso turns to face another person squarely — chest, navel, and toes aligned toward them.
MEANS
Engagement, trust, or interest. The body’s soft front is exposed only to those it does not need to guard against.
CONTEXT
Strongest as a shift — a person who was angled toward the room turning to face you directly. In a group, watch whose torso points where: the body votes before the mouth.
NOT
Direct facing at close range, which reads as challenge — see entry 094.
