Your body doesn’t know how to lie. Unconsciously, it telegraphs your thoughts as you found your arms, crosses your legs, stands, walks, moves your eyes and mouth. The new science of kinesics deals with these physical signals that we all send out.
Body language can penetrate the personal secrets, both of intimates and total strangers within the last few years a new and exciting science has been uncovered and explored. It is called body language. Both it’s written the form and the scientific study of it have been labeled kinesics. It is based on the behavioral patterns of non-verbal communication. Clinical studies have revealed the extent to which body language can actually contradict verbal communication. Body language can include any non-reflexive or reflexive movement of apart or all of the body used by a person to communicate an emotional message to the outside world.
The point is that for every situation there must be two elements to body language, the delivery of the message and the reception of the message. Often the swiftest and obvious type of body language is touch. The touch of a hand, or an arm around someone’s shoulder, can spell a more vivid and direct message than a dozen words. All the body signals must be added up to a correct total if a man is to use body language effectively.
A common man who understands body language very well, and used it has a grasp of postures, though he may be unaware of it and he can relate them to the emotional status of the people he knows. In this way he actually keep a step ahead of other people in his dealings with them. This art can be taught to people for is a function of careful observation but it can only be learned if one is aware that it exists.
