Lesson 7 : Non Verbal Communication

Body Language

The study of body language is known as Kinesics, which means body movements which communicate without the use of words. The way a person sits, stands or holds his /her head reflects a lot about the person. The body responds to situations guided by feelings and thought process. The way one moves and carries oneself communicates a lot of information.

It is both conscious and unconscious effort through which truth can never be hidden. That means sometimes words say yes but if closely observed the body position shows that the answer is no this type of non verbal communication includes posture, and subtle movement like shrugs, nods, stiffning of body.
