Body Language: What It Is – and – How To Read It
Body Language is jam packed with interesting science. In this comprehensive
introduction we’ll show you the basics of body language, and how to improve your own.
What is Body Language?
When we talk about body language we look at the subtle cues we send and receive to
each other nonverbally. Many people want to know how to read body language. To get
started, body language can be broken down into a few different channels:
Facial Expressions: Researcher Dr. Paul Ekman discovered 7 universal microexpressions
— or short facial gestures every human makes when they feel an intense
emotion. We are very drawn to looking at and observing the face to understand someone’s
hidden emotions. They are an essential part of body language.
Body Proxemics: Proxemics is a term for how our body moves in space. We are
constantly looking at how someone is moving — are they gesturing? Leaning? Moving
towards or away from us? Body movements tell us a lot about preferences and
nervousness. They are instrumental body language cues.
Ornaments: Clothes, jewelry, sunglasses, hairstyles, are all extensions of our body
language. Not only do certain colors and styles send signals to others, how we interact with
our ornaments is also telling. Is someone a fidgeter with their watch or ring?
Do they constantly self-preen or touch their hair?
These are all body language cues.

personal branding, what first impression you give and how you make people feel when they
are with you.
