The Wonders of Body Language
Actions do speak louder, much louder, than words. If every action and
gesture could only be instantly converted to real and communicative
words, you would be surprised to hear the loudest screams from every
action from people.
Some people have unconsciously given out the real content of their
hearts and of their minds on actions. That is why through the years,
communication experts and researchers have dealt a great time and focus
into looking closely at body language.
Body language
Body language clearly and effectively conveys ideas, feelings and
thoughts. Thus, looking a person straight in the eye and with great
intensity, could convey the lust and passion one person is feeling for
the other.
Sometimes, people develop the uncanny ability of communicating just
through mere eye contacts. People with that ability are said to have
developed the great sense of rapport.
Anger, admiration, security, doubt, happiness, disappointment, lust,
passion, sadness and all other emotions can be communicated and
conveyed even without the use of words. The art and function of body
language would have to take its toll.
Some obvious and common body language
You might have probably learned a little practical body language
lessons and knowledge by observing the gestures and actions of your
parents, officemates, or partner.
For example, when your partner is talking to you, and he or she
suddenly crossed his or her arms, that should be a great warning to you
that your partner is having some insecure moments and he or she wants
to conceal that from you.
Crossing one’s arms is a great body language, somehow a reflex that
means the person is protective of himself or herself. That means that
his or her sense of self security is put at risk, and he or she will
protect it to the extent that he or she would have to attack others’
Justification would be the more appropriate and effective word for that
reaction. When someone does that while talking to you, beware, and do
not rub much into the person’s face. Otherwise, you would rub some
wound and could be reverted back to you.
Another body language or gesture would be the handshake.
Handshakes are common in the civilized world. Through handshakes,
people firm up and symbolize openness and willingness to open up to a
new acquaintance.
Loose handshakes could indicate disinterest. If you met a new friend or
acquaintance and the handshake was not that firm, it means the person
is not that open and happy to having known you.
Firm handshakes on friends mean that the other person looks at you
significantly and that person value and treasure you as a friend. He or
she wants to keep a firm grip on your friendship, which is a really
good actuation or symbol.
How to deal with negative body language
Of course there are also gestures and body languages that depict and
clearly point out negative emotions and feelings.
When encountering such gestures from people, you are sometimes put up
to a difficult and compromising situation. The best thing to do during
instances like these is to keep your focus and self confidence.
If your conscience is clear, and you are harboring no ill feelings or
intention toward people, you should not be afraid and uncomfortable.
The body is there for a lot of functions. Doing out tasks is not the
limit to the body. Conveying messages and feelings would further be
made effective by the support and use of body language.
