    Well, it seems that our group will be discussing about Understanding Body Language for Communication. okey, Body language is a form of communication where we can use gestures and body actions instead of sounds or regular words. It belong to the paralanguage category and can be describe as non-verbal human communication. Do you aware that by knowing how to read body language, you may be proficient in spotting liars?

    from a point of my view, i definately amazed by the idea of non verbal communication (body language)as it was a kind of language or medium for certain people to understand each other. It is a quite common for me since i've an experiences of using sign language because my sister in law is one of sign language's user. I will feed our blog later on with a various issues on how to understand and recognise non verbal communication . Till Then..thank you so much

  5. Emotions are particularly expressed the non-verbal communication, where the voice and body can tell a lot more about how we feel than our words. In particular, if i feel unable to express emotions verbally, my words and body language can send messages that may be interpreted as stress or deceit.

    As i know, once communication each others started, it makes sense to understand how you can and cannot use your body to say what you mean. In other meaning, Body language comes in signals and postures depend on the internal emotions and mental states.

    But remember, communication can be done without speaking. For example like pointing with legs, hands, head or whole body, gestures with fingers, hands and arms and tilting of head. So guys, what your opinion about this???

    I'll be back soon...

  6. Indeed Yanti...i agree with u.
    In fact communication without speaking or sound is seem like a way of indirect communication to express a feeling or emotion of the person.

    Dealing with people who cant use common language sometimes would makes trouble..therefore sign language or body language is important in these circumstances.

  7. Hello friend...

    Let we talk about the power of non communication and body language today..
    Good communication is the foundation of succesful relationships,both personally and profesionally. But we communicate with much more than words. In fact, research shows thats the majority of our communication, or body language, includes our facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, posture and even the tone of our voice.

    The ability to understand and use nonverbal communication is a powerful tool that will help you connect with others, express what you really mean, navigate challenging situations and build better relationships at home and work..

    Hmmm...dont you guy feel excited to know more..
    i will feed u guys later on with lot of power in nonverbal communication..till then bye

  8. Salam,
    Hi Gang...we meet again.

    Good respons Akmar...
    I'll tell you about a tips for successful nonverbal communication:
    1. Take a time out if you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress
    2. Pay attention to inconsistencies
    3. Look at nonverbal communication signals as a group.
    And this one it’s a common mistakes that we always do when NVC starting.
    1. You’re not subtle
    2. You bluff
    3. You rush to accuse based on body language alone.

    See u then...bye

    Hi dear...

    Yes Yan-t(Nurhidayati), before that Nonverbal communication is a rapidly flowing back-and-forth process. Successful nonverbal communication depends on emotional self-awareness and an understanding of the cues you’re sending, along with the ability to accurately pick up on the cues others are sending you. This requires your full concentration and attention. If you are planning what you’re going to say next, daydreaming, or thinking about something else, you are almost certain to miss nonverbal cues and other subtleties in the conversation. You need to stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience in order to fully understand what’s going on. Right????

    Helo friends,

    Nonverbal communication, or body language, is a vital form of communication. When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive countless wordless signals. All of our nonverbal behaviors—the gestures we make, the way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make—send strong messages.

    The way you listen, look, move, and react tell the other person whether or not you care and how well you’re listening. The nonverbal signals you send either produce a sense of interest, trust, and desire for connection—or they generate disinterest, distrust, and confusion.

    See you soon...

  11. Hi,

    The nonverbal communication cues can play five roles. It is:

    1. Repetition: they can repeat the message the person is making verbally
    2. Contradiction: they can contradict a message the individual is trying to convey
    3. Substitution: they can substitute for a verbal message. For example, a person's eyes can often convey a far more vivid message than words and often do
    4. Complementing: they may add to or complement a verbal message. A boss who pats a person on the back in addition to giving praise can increase the impact of the message

    Be right back....
    5. Accenting: they may accent or underline a verbal message. Pounding the table, for example, can underline a message.
