Body Language is part of non verbal communication, also it is very much the subtle key to what you are trying to express through your gestures, postures ,facial expressions & so on. Body Language is the soul of communication ,without it , the essence of conversation is always missing.

Introduction

Body Language is what we speak through our gestures , postures , facial expressions & also very minute signals like the way we keep our hands while talking, the way we sit , the way we stand etc. These gestures may seem of little or no importance & many a times go un noticed but if paid keen attention on can help us to decipher what the words don't say.

Body Language can also help in knowing whether the person feels confident, nervous, anxious , stressed or panicked in situations or around other people.

Importance

Body Language is very important not just in communication but also in the way we present ourselves to others. Through our body language we tell others how we feel just as we know their feelings by observing their body language.

To understand importance of body language better lets divide it in 2 broad categories

• Communication

The importance of body language in communication is that it helps to support our verbal communication. The actions, hand gestures & facial expressions form a visual perception of our conversation through words & make it easy for the other person to understand what we are conveying.

Also body language without any verbal communication is by far the strongest way to convey our emotions towards people & situations too. The most interesting part of body language without verbal communication is 'human touch ' . A touch can speak way beyond the words , it speaks the language of soul & there is hardly anyone who doesn't understand language of touch.

Human touch is most important to convey affection, care, intimacy & friendliness among people. The warmth that one touch gives is way beyond than 1000 words of kindness. 

• Presentation

Body language comes in great application when we present ourselves in the society. We are noticed, observed & sometimes even judged by our body language in the society. It tells alot about us & the way we are feeling just with little twitch we make. If you are someone who is conscious about their body language when surrounded by people or don't feel comfortable in presenting yourself then don't worry you can easily work on it & improve yourself also your body language.

When it comes to presentation the focus is more on gestures & postures, the way we sit, the way we stand, our way of walking, talking, greeting people , the way we carry ourselves really makes a difference in the society. The more sophisticated & polished your body language is the more elegantly you can present yourself in society. The need to have a good body language is crucial because it portrays your personality , creates your impression & helps you establish, maintain your image among the people around you. 

Enhancing Body Language

Often times many people are not comfortable with their body language or are conscious about their gestures & postures. This ends up in creating unwanted embarassments at social gatherings , but its not end of the world , we should always know that no one is perfect but we can strive hard to become the best version of ourselves. 

Enhancing body language is possible with just little effort & some tricks. Typically body language can be enhanced by 2 ways 

• Self Love

Loving yourself & loving your body is the key to good body language. You need to feel good about the way you appear, the body you have , the way you carry yourself. Now do not mix this with the lacunas you posess & give it an excuse of self love. 

Be fair & stringent to yourself , analyse yourself well , know what your assets are , know where you lack & work on improving it.

Self love deals with feeling confident the way you are & not paying attention to unwanted body shaming & bullying done to you. People have no right to talk you down because of the way you look , so don't take it seriously & love yourself for who you are. This inner confidence will show on the outside & will help you to present yourself better around people.

• Role Models

Yes, as important as role models are not just for motivation or their skills but also they are of great help to learn & enhance body language.

We all have role models, famous people we adore & follow , they are in public eye all the time, un countable cameras click their every twitch, so they are the best sources to learn body language from. 

Observe your role models keenly, pay attention to how they walk, talk, sit , stand & carry themselves in the public. Make sure you don't imitate them but try to absorb their confidence, style , poise , grace & elegance while presenting yourself to people.

Note carefully how they pose for pictures in different occassions, how they carry their attire ,these key points will help you enhance your body language & make you more presentable.

Application

This is the part where all the work done is brought into execution , application of right body language at right time is the best way to make an impression & establish a good image of yourself among those around you. There are few tricks to be kept in mind when application of body language comes into play. 

• Keep your shoulders straight, tight & upright.

 

• Keep your head high, chin up.

• A handshake should be quick , warm & firm. 

• When a gentleman handshakes a lady be a little soft , don't crush her hand , but also don't give a loose limping handshake. Hold softly & warmly then let go.

• Sit straight & erect, don't slouch or bend , don't stretch either.

• When you are sitting in a chair or on a couch ,ladies make sure you cross your legs appropriately.

• Gentlemen , don't spread your legs widely. Keep them together & sit comfortably.

• While climbing down the stairs , avoid looking down all the way, make sure you watch the steps, look up straight & climb down the stairs.

• While hugging someone in public, hands shouldn't reach below the waist. Even if you are a couple. Keep your hug warm & graceful, don't make people around you disgust it.

• A kiss in public should be avoided where it can be ( apart from as a greeting gesture ) but if you wish a little PDA ; even a kiss on the lips , make it elegant in appearance, or else plant a kiss on the hand or a cheek. 

• Walk with elegance & poise , don't be too slow or too fast. Do not be over stylish too.

• Take care of your hand gestures, make sure they do not signify any obscene meanings to the people who watch you in conversation but can't hear you.

• Your hand gestures should not be too loud & animated. Keep them subtle enough to limit only upto the concerned people around you.

These few essentials can save you from unwanted embarassments & improve your body language & make you appealing to people around you. 

Final Word

Once you master the body language you can be great at saying something thats beyond words , you can speak through your soul a language that everyone understands & connects the hearts of the people.
