2 day Master Class in Understanding Body Language:Recognizing the Hidden Meaning of the Unspoken Dialogue

General

Despite the existence of a very meaningful verbal communication system and other contrived signs and symbols (such as traffic signs), a significant part of human communication is based on body language. There is no consensus on the actual weight that this communication has, but it is universally agreed that it plays a very important role in our overall communication.

Body language is generally believed to be shared by large groups of people, even more so than words. There are universal human body language patterns (such as bowing your head to express humility) and unique cultural patterns (such as saluting).

Most body language researchers agree that this communication pattern is extremely relevant even if it exists only subconsciously. According to this theory, body language is an inseparable part of human communication, and occurs regularly during every human interaction.
