Body language:

Movement is the
original and most intense
means of expression
and of will

Movement is
the starting point
par excellence of
human behavior

A person can stop
speaking, but he cannot
stop communicating
with his body

NON-VERBAL symbols
are four times more
effective
than VERBAL ones

All individuals have
some knowledge of
the vocabulary of
body symbols

Non-verbal signs
are grasped
instinctively and
directly

Signals emitted
unconsciously
always tell the truth

Gestures are the direct
and unrepeatable
expression of the
personality

Each gesture synthesizes
multiple contents,
both conscious and
unconscious

Everyone moves
the way he or she is
and is the way
he or she moves

Body language is a
sensorial process from the
point of view of perception
and emission

The more signals we consciously
attempt to perceive and understand,
the more accurate will be our
interpretation of a person’s conduct

Only those persons who live
in awareness of their body will be
able to maintain sensitive
contact with their surrroundings

Three senses are used to
interpret the outside world:
• Sight (visual person, 55%)
• Hearing (auditory person, 15%)
• Touch (kinetic person, 30%)
Each person has a predominant
sense

A NEUTRAL handshake should use the same pressure to
hold say a hammer, a bat or a racquet. The hand should be
'neutral' neither palm up nor palm down.
A palm up handshake indicates subservience.
A palm down handshake indicates control.

A sequence of handshakes indicating degrees of warmth and passion.
Please be aware that the hand is the third least erogenous zone to be
able to touch.
The least erogenous zone on a man is the lower arm, and the upper arm
on a woman.
The double handshake shows great warmth and passion. You would
only do this with close friends, and people with whom you have deep
sincere gratitude. The last picture with the hand on the shoulder, could
also end with the arm over the shoulder-it indicates further warmth and
feeling.
Anyone who gives you a handshake with two hands, when first meeting
you, is likely to be insincere and overwhelming, or even deceitful.

The lowered steep-ling of the hands indicates listening, and
can also be a negative confidence gesture.

The scratch to the back of the neck indicates either the
neck itches or uncertainty or even lying.

The lowered steep-ling of the hands indicates listening,
and can also be a negative confidence gesture.

Pulling the ear can be an ear itch. It can mean
nervousness or deceit.
It can mean a desire to shut out the words they are
hearing, or the words aren't 'going in'.
It may also indicate they've heard enough.

Hot under the collar!
People touch their face 10 times more than normal when they feel
uncomfortable.
When you lie, you feel a tingling sensation around your face and
neck, and feel you need to touch or relieve the area.

Hand clasping at a desk or in a chair on
its own may indicate nervousness,
insecurity or anxiety.
Loosely clasped would be more like anticipation and the more
tightly clasped they are, the more the anxiety.

Clasped hands in front of the body
are a barrier signal, seeking
reassurance.
If the thumbs were steeple’d it would
be a confidence gesture.

Here's the mother of all confidence gestures,
even arrogance.
Men, when evaluating and responding to
women's ideas will often go into this position.
The reply may even start with the arrogant little
cough.
The most supreme will be when the chair is
tilted back onto two legs.

Crossed legs can be comfort, but often
indicate negativity. Holding a clipboard in
front of the chest at the same time will
indicate negativity, a barrier signal, seeking
reassurance, pushing you away.
When sat back, arms folded and the legs
are crossed tightly, this is extremely
negative. You may walk in and see this
negativity, indicating prior feelings to
you arriving, or you may say something,
which affects this negativity.

Sat back with an arm over the chair will indicate
lethargy. They maybe don't want to be there, and
aren't giving you much attention.
Leg cocked over the chair will indicate indifference.
The attention they are giving you is minimal.

Four seating position.
It can be on the positive route.
It normally indicates mild confrontation
and stubbornness at that point.
This is blatant territorial ownership. Claiming
territory. It could easily be disregard of other
people's territory if it were say your feet on
someone else's desk.

He who does not understand a look will not
understand a long explanation either
