Our silent vocabulary has its sign boards. These are the combination of postures and gestures. When we talk, our hands move according to the mood, tone and expressions of the face. Our body also takes position to accompany them. So this silent language of the body accompanies us while talking as well.
In general a posture means the position in which we hold our body upright while standing or lying down. The word posture is derived from the Latin ponere - means to put or place.
Posture includes training our body to stand, walk, sit and lie in positions. It opts for the least strained positions. Muscles and ligaments are a part of these postures. If we are afraid or tense the muscles take stressful positions. They stretch relaxed way when we are happy or without tension. When we know this, it becomes easy for us to train ourselves to have stress free body language.
Remember some of the positions where you intentionally stress a particular part of your body.
Sitting tight at the edge of a chair
Digging the floor with your big toe of the foot
Feeling helpless and leaning over a chair or a table.
There are many such positions where we strain our body to transfer the mind's stress. This body posture reading makes the other person read your mind and measure your stress or tension.
