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 o n g
oing communication, most of thos
e a r e 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.
