NON VERBALCOMMUNICATION

Nonverbal communication, or body language, is a vital form of communication. When we interact with others, we continuously give and receive countless wordless signals. The gestures we make, they way we sit, how fast or how loud we talk, how close we stand, how much eye contact we make–all of these nonverbal behaviors send a strong message.  

The way you talk, 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.

If nonverbal communication is more honest because it is under less conscious control, what could bemore revealing than the positions you assume in your sleep.

The secret messages of your sleeping positions canreveal your true waking personality style.

Here are the most popular sleep positions and what the research says it means.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLEEPING POSTURES

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLEEPING POUSTURES

The soldierThe Soldier (on back and face up, arms at the side)

According to American researchers, 43 percent of the population sleep in this position.

The nonverbal symbolism indicates that of someone facing life; you are secure and self assured.

But british research says that only eight percent of the population use this position. I guess there are a lot more soldiers in the USA.

CONTINUED…………….

The soldier position is held by lying on your back with both arms pinned to your sides. people who sleep in this position are generally quiet and reserved. They don’t like a fuss, but set high standards for themselves others.

The CrownThe Crown(hands are on top of the head or arms are crossed to support the head)

They are putting a crown on their heads because they think they are kings.

They listen so they can be the wise sage and then tell people what to do.

They think they are supportive and merely giving helpful advice.

The crowned sleeper is highly intelligent and enthusiastic but some of their ideas are only good to them.

THE FETAL POSITIONThe Fetal Position

Approximately 51 percent of women and 41 percent of all 1000 people surveyed sleep curled up on one si

The Full- Fetal Position- The full-fetal is the characteristic womb position.

Sleepers lie curled on theirsides, with knees pulled all the way up, heads bent forward. Usually a pillow or blanket mass is centered at the stomach.

These people are highly emotional, sensitive, artistic, and have intense one-on-one relationships.

CONTINUED…………

THE YEARNER

The Yearner (side sleeper and reacher)

The same research shows this position is used by 13 percent of sleepers.

People who sleep on their sidewith both arms out in front are said to have an open nature but can be suspicious and cynical.

They are slow tomake up their minds, but once they have made a decision, they are unlikely to ever change it.

THE CRABThe Crab (lying face down)

The sleeper is face down on the stomach with arms extended and bent, usually framed above thehead this position has quite different meanings.

I feel when a sleeper suddenly takes on this position itshows they are afraid of something.

They may not want to face something or they are dealing withintense stress.

CONTINUDED…………. Research says that sleepers who regularly sleep in the prone position tend to

have strong compulsive tendencies and stubbornness in their personalities and are persistent and goal-oriented.

The symbolism is of someone who refuses to see others’ viewpoints. They are serious and stubborn.

They hold strong beliefs and try to have everything done their way and will use force to gain compliance.

They are tense and focused in order to get things done. They do not give ground easily.

If their hands are in fists, they could be showing hidden aggression. They are “my way or the highway” people.

THE TWISTERThe Twister (tied up in knots)

People who sleep all tied up in knots (twisted) or with limbs flung out all over the bed are experiencingstress.

They are under constant pressure. It is difficult to always feel that life is a struggle and these people often feel that they are falling short.

The tension will eventually wear them down, hopefully leading to a new approachto life that is less stressful.

STARFISHStarfish (on back with both arms up around the pillow)

British research says that these sleepers make up five percent of the population, make good friendsbecause they are always ready to listen to them, and offer help when needed.

They generally do not like to be the center of attention.

I disagree and give a specific assessment based on the position of the hands on top and I call itThe Crown.

THE STARThe Star (on back, face up with the legs open and arms spread wide)

You are a star and freedom loving. You are comfortable taking over the space.

This is the sleep positionof an extremely confident person. You are not only assured, you are open to the world. You’re ready to hug the world.

Sleeping in this position shows you have a sense of well-being. You’re confident and optimistic and not particular keen on planning or scheming, but you can be surprised by scheming of others

Gestures

• Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. We wave, point, beckon, and use our hands when we’re arguing or speaking animatedly–expressing ourselves with gestures often without thinking. However, the meaning of gestures can be very different across cultures and regions, so it’s important to be careful to

avoid misinterpretation.

Eye contact

• Since the visual sense is dominant for most people, eye contact is an especially important type of nonverbal communication. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the other person’s response.

Touch

• We communicate a great deal through touch. Think about the messages given by the following: a firm handshake, a timid tap on the shoulder, a warm bear hug, a reassuring pat on the back, a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on your arm.

Space

• Have you ever felt uncomfortable during a conversation because the other person was standing too close and invading your space? We all have a need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy, aggression, dominance, or affection.

Voice

• We communicate with our voices, even when we are not using words. Nonverbal speech sounds such as tone, pitch, volume, inflection, rhythm, and rate are important communication elements. When we speak, other people “read” our voices in addition to listening to our words. These nonverbal speech sounds provide subtle but powerful clues into our true feelings and what we really mean. Think about how tone of voice, for example, can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.
