BODY LANGUAGE THROUGH AGES

BODY LANGUAGE THROUGH AGES

Humans have been using body language to convey our thoughts since ancient times and have been aware of it as is evident from the following ancient sayings:
 Actions speak louder than words
 Watch out for the man whose stomach does not move when he laughs
 The eyes of men converse as much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect needs no dictionary but is understood the world over
 Learning is acquired by reading books but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men and studying various editions of them
 Communication is like a dance, with every one engaged in the intricate and shared movements across many subtle dimensions, yet all strangely oblivious that they are doing so
 Mortals can keep no secrets. If their lips are silent, they gossip through their fingertips. Betrayal forces its way through every pose.
At any given moment, the brain assumes a certain attitude which gets communicated to people around through various parts of the body that respond instinctively with specific actions, gestures, expressions, sounds, movements, dress, perfume etc
