5. Here are some of the tips to understand a little about Body Language, for instance Copying body language is called mirroring. This can be a good way of relating to others as it is something we do naturally when we feel a rapport or natural connection and comfort around someone. Therefore watch others in meetings - if they naturally mirror the sort of body language that you display, then you know that they are at one and at ease and generally comfortable around you. However in a meeting with 'brand new' people mirroring is sometimes done because they have read a book on NLP or similar and are trying to build a relationship insincerely. Therefore if someone mirrors you too quickly and too well, then be on your guard. If someone is genuinely using natural mirroring then you probably won't realise it is happening! It may sound odd, but often you can tell how far someone is engaged - or not - in a conversation through the state of the eyes. The reason for this is that, when interested, the pupils often get larger and in contrast when they are dis-interested, they sometimes get smaller. So, if you want to see if someone's body language is showing interest or dis-interest then why not take a look at the eyes. Of course the eyes of everyone vary so you will need to know someone fairly well to get used to detecting subtle changes before using this method of reading their thoughts and feelings. If someone holds their chin without resting their arm on the desk, then it shows that they are thinking hard and trying to concentrate. However, if they are effectively propping their head up by anchoring the other arm on the desk, then this rather shows that they are simply disinterested or bored in what is being discussed. Contrast this with scratching the neck which indicates that they are stimulated and interested, and rubbing of the neck and surrounding area again shows interest and engagement but perhaps a little bit of nerves too. Who thought that body language could communicate so much? The savvy reader of body language can accurately read moods and find out a lot about people merely from the way that they use their bodies and physicality irrespective of what they actually say! Good Luck!!
