    What is Body Language?

    Body language is nonverbal communication that involves


    body movement. “Gesturing” can also be termed as body
    language which is absolutely non-verbal means of
    communication. People in the workplace can convey a
    great deal of information without even speaking; through
    nonverbal communication. Not all of our values, beliefs,
    thoughts and intentions are communicated verbally. In an
    ongoing communication, most of those are
    c o m m u n i c a t e d n o n - v e r b a l l y. I n N o n - v e r b a l
    communication, our human body expresses our feelings
    and intentions through conscious and unconscious
    movements and postures, accompanied by
    gestures, facial expressions, eye contacts and
    touch. This collectively forms a separate language of the
    body within the ongoing communication. This is called
    Body Language.

    How Does the Body Speaks?
    Our human body speaks through the conscious and
    unconscious movements and postures, hand gestures,
    facial expressions, eye movements and touch. Each of
    these physical movements of the body parts could be
    seen as separate words and can be interpreted differently
    by other human beings within a given context of
    communication.

    Why is Body Language Important?


    Since interpretations of body language differ from people
    to people and cultures to countries it is important to learn
    about them. Body language alone comprises of 55% of
    total communication whereas spoken words comprise of
    7% and tone of voice comprise 38%.
