All individuals have

some knowledge of
the vocabulary of
body symbols

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

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 persons conduct

Only those persons who live

in awareness of their body will be
able to maintain sensitive
contact with their surrroundings

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.

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 steepled it would

be a confidence gesture.

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.

Here's the mother of all confidence gestures,

even arrogance.

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.

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.
Dr. AT/ASST. PROF/bl/COMMN AND DIFFUSION OF INNOVN

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.
Dr. AT/ASST. PROF/bl/COMMN AND DIFFUSION OF INNOVN

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
