Body Language
Thousands of Hands Kwan-yin
Some psychologists believe that we communicate 65% of our ideas and feelings without words! The shape of our bodies and faces, the movements and gestures we make,the clothes we wear, how near we stand to each other and whether we touch each other…all these communicate. We must study all of these types of information if we want to understand what other people are saying.
