The Art of

Body Language

can you grasp the soul just looking into eyes?

can you read their mind?

93%of our communication is non-verbal

#1 Eyes never lie

Most people will say that someone cannot look another person in the eyes and lie, but that is a myth. Paul Ekman’s research found that pathological liars have no problem staring someone in the eyes and lying.

#2 Touching Shows Dominance

Another body language misconception is that people in power show their dominance over others by touching them. Research has shown the opposite. It is often the person of lower status

that touches first. Research has also proven that women are more likely to initiate touch than men.

#3 A Smile Means Happiness

We often associate smiles with happiness but again, that is a myth. People may smile for many reasons including when they are

fearful, in contempt, feeling dejected, and unhappy.

#4 Crossed arms means resistance

It simply can be because someone likes this posture or looking for an alternative posture

after being in open body postures for a long time.

#5Putting your hands behind your back is a power gesture

Actually, most people find the gesture untrustworthy. If we can’t see what someone else’s hands are doing, we’re suspicious.

#6Nose touching and mouth covering are universal signs of deception

Researchs couldn’t find a correlation between deception and nose touching and mouth covering as well.

HOW can we use our body?
