Gestures are very diverse. In order to learn how to interpret them, you need to understand for what purpose is a movement. Gestures in the communication process serve four basic functions.

Gestures can say a lot of the gestures can Express your attitude better than any words.

First, they replace the words with signs. Probably, you will understand the interlocutor, if he wants you to say "OK" without words, showing you the United the big and index fingers. Second, they control the listener's attention and clarify what was said. If you need to show where the store, which asks you a passer-by you instead of a long explanation will show a hand in the direction where he needed to go. Third, they illustrate and reinforce what was said. When the fisherman shows how he caught the fish, it will show you it with my hands, and would you believe the scope of his hand — that's your business.

Oh, and fourth, gestures are adapting the human body to the process of communication or simply Express the human condition. Crossed arms create a state of security, and drooping shoulders indicate that the person is tired or lost confidence in themselves... these gestures are the most interesting for the interpretation, and that to interpret them is the hardest because many of them individual and often unconsciously.

However, some tips to give it is possible. The fact that the human body does not move randomly. It is subject to the impulses that guide movement of a specific point. – The pulses are classified into female and male. This classification is based on the definition of gesture, more characteristic for women or men.

In the human body it is possible to observe the following point – the pulse of the movement:

Fingers and toes

This point is responsible for the feeling of lightness. Play fingers in the process of communication conveys a relaxed conversation. And walk "on toes" is traditionally associated with the feeling of weightlessness. Their fingers often play women, and that is why the emphasis on this "point" — feminine accent.

Wrist and ankle

These points convey a sense of fluidity and flexibility, and it is also the female point. Not accidentally, the circular motion of the wrist is characteristic of many Oriental dance. The inclusion of the wrists during the conversation, gives a speech softness and creates a feeling of peace and tranquility. Gait with the movement of the ankles ("walk in the water") also creates a feeling of fluidity.

Elbows and knees

The function of these points, courage and energy, and most male point. Gait "the knee" shows impatience, interest. Throwing the leg from the knee forward, the man himself increases your energy. When stopping the gesture may be transformed into the characteristic tapping with the heel. Elbows, is widely absent from the body, also convey a sense of powerful pressure and energy. No accident can be seen as energetic people talking on a cell phone, is widely behind the elbow of the hand that holds the phone.

Shoulders

The shoulder is a point of responsibility, it's a male point. For people who are in a state of victim, is often characterized by drooping shoulders. Thus man takes responsibility for what is happening with them the events and unknowingly transmit it to others. With his characteristic gesture is a shrug: "I don't know." On the other hand, there are people with a strong fixation of the shoulders. If the shoulders are enslaved in top condition, this may indicate excessive responsibility, passing in voltage. Another example of dance moves – "Gypsy". Shoulders in dance, moving very rapidly, passing nomadic and free from the obligations of the lifestyle of the Gypsies.

Head

This point is responsible for the expression of mental abilities and logic. Because men insist on logic and head prefer feelings, often it is the male point.

Most often, this suggests that people primarily relies on your mental abilities and used to make decisions based on logic.
