Have you ever asked someone how their day was? When they answered you did you believe them? Our belief is not always based on that person's words but rather their physical language. When answers with "I'm good!" but their shoulders are slumped, eyes to the ground, face downcast, and all the telltale signs of a defeated soul wouldn't you stop and ask them "Really?" It is not always this easy to pick out the physical communication of a person though. I think even a simple change in posture in a person can communicate very different things. When I am in class and I lean my head on my arm 90% of the time I am tired, and with that comes an inattentive ear with a mild case of daydreaming. All of physical language is work and someone else can argue over the fact if this work is always active action of the one who does the work or if the person is a passive victim of their inner feelings. Personally I believe that my physical language is actively dictated by my will. In the simplest sense those who know my mannerisms best will be able to understand my non-linguistic communication most.
What you communicate to me affects what I might communicate with you. Your action impacts my action. Do you see, hear, pick up, and/or understand what I have said?
Blessings always!
