Body Language

Our eyes provide important non-verbal signals to others that we can recognize even if we can't describe them. They developed this potency for human communication. Eyes tend to look right when imagining and left when recalling, relating to the creative and factual sides of the brain. The mouth also conveys significant body language through expressions and signals connected to feelings of security, love, and sex due to its role in infant feeding and speech. It is a flexible, expressive organ that independently conveys variety through movement more than the nose or ears. Real smiles involve the whole face including eye crinkles, while fake smiles only engage the mouth.

Body Language - Eyes Our eyes are a very significant aspect of the non-verbal signals we send to others.

what we see in other people's eyes - are incredible. We probably cannot describe these and many other eye signals, but we recognise them when we see them and we know what they mean. It becomes easier to understand how the eyes have developed such potency in human communications.

Eyes tend to look right when the brain is imagining or creating, and left when the brain is recalling or remembering. This relates to right and left sides of the brain - in this context broadly the parts of the brain handling creativity/feelings (right) and facts/memory (left). This is analysed in greater detail below, chiefly based onnlp developed in the 1960s. Under certain circumstances 'creating' can mean fabrication or lying, especially (but not always beware), when the person is supposed to be recalling facts. Looking right when stating facts does not necessarily mean lying - it could for example mean that the person does not know the answer, and is talking hypothetically or speculating or guessing.

Body Language- mouth The mouth is associated with very many body language signals, which is not surprising given its functions - obviously speech, but also those connected with infant feeding, which connects psychologically through later life with feelings of security, love and sex. The mouth is a tremendously flexible and expressive part of the body too, performing a central role in facial expressions. The mouth also has more visible moving parts than other sensory organs, so there's a lot more potential for variety of signalling. Unlike the nose and ears, which are generally only brought into body language action by the hands or fingers, the mouth acts quite independently, another reason for it deserving separate detailed consideration. Smiling is a big part of facial body language. As a general rule real smiles are symmetrical and produce creases around the eyes and mouth, whereas fake smiles, for whatever reason, tend to be mouth-only gestures.
