Body Language - #176

"His foot jerks, he sighs, he squints, his stomach rumbles. These movements are part of the body's voice telling its story without benefit of consciousness."*

Waiting in line gives us time to practice the Art of Standing Meditation and take note other people's posture, body language and clothing. 

The leather jacket in the image above was covered with painted rats on its back and sleeves, though it is difficult to see the rats in this shot. I received this image when we were in line to see Michelangelo's, David. 

Body language originates in the unconscious.  Like a foreign language, body language needs a skilled interpreter to help us understand its meaning.

Do you pay attention to body language? Do you realize the messages from your unconscious? Do you appreciate your body? Does body language help you understand others?
