Subject line: First Lesson - Body Language Basics
Welcome to the first lesson in "Body Language Basics" crash
course.
Each day for the few days you will receive a lesson that will help
you better understand and interpret the signs and signals of body
language.
The main goal of this course is to help introduce you the art of
body language. While I will not be able to teach you everything that
there is to know about this fine art. I will do my best to give you
some basic understanding and get you started on your journey.
In this first lesson we are going to talk a little about what body
language is and how you can learn to quickly recognize the signs
and signals that people are sending you.
Body language can truly speak louder than words. Different body
parts like; eyes, hands, arms and legs can be used in different
ways, with each one having several meanings.
It is a very powerful
method of communication that most of us use without even
realizing we are using it.
Understanding the art of body language and being able to identify
the different body signals people are using is a great skill to have!
Even without the use of words, you can effectively send your
message to another person, and that person to you.
By learning
how to understand body language you can quickly identify and
determine their moods, emotions, feelings, and desires.
This will
give you the ability to control almost any situation by knowing how
to react to it in advance.
For instance, most of the time the use of direct eye contact
indicates interest, positive thinking, and sincerity. However, it
could also mean: mistrust, doubt, and suspicion.
Lateral eye movements may mean the person is lying, or
inspecting his surroundings making sure no one or everyone is
listening.
Often when some one is trying to recall or imagine
something, they will look upward. On the other hand looking down
may indicate submission to an authority or guilt.
Did you know that your hand and arm gestures can also display
different meanings? Besides the obvious ones that we see people
use everyday, like waving, pointing or others that we won't discuss
in this lesson.
Let's go over a few:
