Body Language

•As long as we live, we all use Body Language all the time without knowing or realizing it.
•Example: “Shoulder Shrug” is something we do when we don’t know or understand what the person we are speaking to, is talking about.



Palm Gestures
An open palm is associated with “truth”
People use two basic palm positions:
Palm facing upwards
Palm facing down
Example: When a child is lying, his hands are hidden behind his back.
Example: When a husband is concealing the honest details from his wife, he hides his palms in his pockets



Palm Gesture – The Pointed Finger

•One of the most irritating gestures one can use when speaking is the “Pointed Finger”.
•If you are a habitual finger pointer, try practicing the palm up and palm down position which will create a more relaxed attitude and have a positive attitude on other people.
•Another huge mistake we make when arguing or having a conversation is waving our hands or waving it frantically.



Hand and Arm Gestures

•We use hand and arm gestures all the time, to express our feelings of happiness, frustration, etc..
•Hands clenched together reflects:
•Confidence
•Frustration
•Hand gestures can be of three kinds:
•Hands clenched in front of the face
•Hands resting on the desk
•Hands resting on the lap or placed in front of the crotch when standing

Hand and Arm Gestures
--> When the raised steeple position is used and the head is tilted back, the person is assumed to be arrogant
--> The “palm-in-palm” gesture indicates confidence
--> The “hand-gripping-wrist” gesture reflects frustration and an attempt at self-control.
--> The further the grip moves upward, the angrier the person is.




Hand to Face Gesture

--> The mouth guard
If a speaker is using this gesture it indicates that he is lying; if a listener is using this gesture it indicates that he thinks the speaker is lying.
--> The nose touch
if a listener is using this gesture it indicates that
he thinks the speaker is sounding deceptive.
--> The eye rub
The person rubbing either the back of his ear or his ear loop, or both
has heard enough and wishes to bring the conversation to a close.

--> The ear rub

--> The neck scratch
In the case of the neck scratcher, the person scratches below the
ear or the side of his neck. It means he is having feelings of doubt and uncertainty.
--> The collar pull
The person is lying and is afraid that he might get caught.
The person is angry or frustrated.

Arm Barriers
When a person folds his arms together across his chest it is merely an attempt to hide from an unfavorable situation.
There are many types of arm barriers but we will talk about a few that men and women tend to use the most.
The Arm Cross Gesture :
The standard Arm Cross Gesture is a universal gesture signifying defensive or negative attitude. In a face to face debate or argument or discussion, the arm cross gesture indicates disagreement and rigidity

The Reinforced Arm Cross: If the person has clenched his fists and folded his arms across his chest, it indicates hostility and resistance.
This is often followed by clenched teeth and a flushed face.
When this gesture is assumed, caution is advised. It is highly probable that the person is fuming with anger, and a verbal or physical attack is possible.
The Partial Arm Cross: It is commonly observed among participants at meetings or gatherings; it indicates that the person is feeling like a stranger, uneasy and running low on confidence.

Leg Barriers

-->There are a few “leg barriers” that we tend to use when we are angry, defensive or nervous. Let us take a look at a few examples.
->If in a meeting you notice that the people are standing far from each other with their legs crossed, it is indicative of unfamiliarity.
-->When group members know each other well, they usually stand with their arms open, and in close proximity.

Other Popular Gestures and Actions
-->A gesture of Domination indicates that the person is trying to take control and make himself or herself the center of attention, when he or she is in a conversation.
-->A person assumes a Neutral Head position usually at the start of a debate, argument or a conversation. It reflects that the person is yet to form an opinion.
-->Usually a person who is interested in the ongoing conversation or discussion, tilts his head either to the right or to the left.

The Perfect Posture:

NON-VERBAL BEHAVIOURS :-
Speech is important in most human social interactions.
It is what most distinguishes our social activities from those of animals.
When an encounter is primarily conversational, non-verbal cues of various kinds play an essential role in the process.
Think about your own body language when giving a presentation and how it will appear to the audience.
Body language signals might slow resistance, aggression or skepticism.
Be aware of:
a)Hand to face movements - frequently indicate discomfort or tension
b)Clenched fists - a sign of aggression
c)Ankle lock - tension
d)Lack of eye contact - dishonesty
e)Arms folded - resistance
f)Legs crossed - resistance, particularly if turned sideways
