Motion detection: What to observe in body language

Motions: Face, body, movements & voice

When interacting with others, do you know what to look out for when observing their body language?

You look at their non-verbal signals, this means paying attention to everything other than what they say.

Observing non-verbal signals are specifically 4 elements:
– VOICE: Sounds & silences
– FACE: Expression & micro-expressions
– BODY: Posture
– MOVEMENTS: Gestures & speed

Observing non-verbal signals is paying attention to everything except their words.

Noticing the changes in the voice, face, body & movements.

In this article, we will focus on the FACE, BODY & MOVEMENTS elements of non-verbal communication.

“E-motion gives Motion” effect

E-motions showed by your motions (how you move)

As you may have already noticed, when FEELING a mood/emotion or THINKING certain thoughts, your body expresses it.

Examples:

These examples demonstrate the obvious & natural pattern of:

→  What you think & feel is what you do with your face, body, and gestures (non-verbal signals), this process often occurs unconsciously.

Your E-motions are expressed unconsciously by your motions: face, body & gestures (Non-verbal).

“Motion brings E-Motion” effect

Mind and body harmony

After learning & understanding the “E-Motion TO Motion”, you can also realise how your body and mind have to be in harmony, this means “Motion WITH E-Motion”.

This means that your body & mind have to be congruent & in sync. You can verify this right now with the exercises below.

❓ How good is your body & mind harmony❓

In these exercises, you can adopt the following poses & postures (non-verbals) and say the suggested sentences (verbal).

As each of these hold different vocal & physical meanings, you can see if you can feel that need for “staying in sync”.

You will most likely realise this innate need for congruency, which will make your mind & body bug. This would be like a computer bugging when running two conflicting programs at the same time: switching on & switching off.

Exercise # 1: Get annoyed & hold a victory pose

Exercise # 2: Put your head down & claim that you feel energised

Exercise # 3: Flex your biceps hard & claim that you feel depressed

Your inability to feel the opposite of what your body is doing is due to the necessary congruency of your “E-motion” with your “motion”.

Your “E-motion” has to be in harmony with your “motion”.

Your posture can make you feel worse

💡 Science fact
In a study group by Riskind, J.H and Gotay, C.C (1982) “Physical posture: Could it have regulating or feedback effects on Motivation and emotion?” (Motivation & emotion 6 273-98), two groups of participants were asked to do the same task yet with different postures:

– The first group was asked to do it with a hunched & tensing posture.

– The second group was asked to do the SAME task, do it with a straight spine.

→ Result of the study :
The participants of the first group with the hunched posture reported:
– Higher levels of stress
– Lots of stomach knots

⚠️ Note:
A hunched & tensed posture is a low-power behavioural expression, which is linked to fatigue, insecurity, and lethargy.
A straight spine with your chest up is a high-power stance, which is linked to energy, confidence, and strength.

Your posture can improve or worsen your moods or feelings :
→ Your “Motion” can impact your “E-motion”
