The key to reading body language is being able to understand a person's emotional condition while listening to what they are saying & noting the circumstances under which they are saying it.

Being perceptive means being able to spot the contradiction between someone's words and their body language.

These monkeys symbolize those who hear no evil, see no evil & speak no evil. Their simple hand-to-face gestures form the basis of the human deceit gestures. In simple terms, when we see, speak & hear lies or deceit, we're likely to attempt to cover our eyes, mouth or ears with our hands.
Practicing
The ability to work out what's happening with a person is simple but not easy. You can be a great reader with some practicing. Turn down the sound of T.V. & try to understand what's happening by watching the pictures only. From time to time turn on the sound to check whether you are following up with what's going on or not. This simple exercise will activate your ability to read non-verbal gesture while understanding; just as deaf people do.
Thats how we can conclude at the end that Body Language is particularly important in group communications because for large groups it dominates the spoken word.
