Body language

This week the NLP training and study is around body language.
The body language part follows on from the filters last week. The idea being to pick up the filters using body language. So notice if towards/away, internal/external, mis/match, options/procedure, as

assoicated/dissacoiated, visual/ auditory/ feelings and big chunk/small chunk.

Mis/match
------------
Do you copy other body language or mismatch it

Internal/external
-------------------
Do you require others approval in a meeting. Look to other when talking for their approval
For are you happy to see your own piece without the requirement for approval

Big/small
----------
The detail of the topic you go into. Plus the gesturing of the body language.
Are the gestures wide and big.
Or small and precise

Options/procedure
-----------------
Options - a array being spread out in front of the speaker
Procedure - gesture a chopping action


Visual
--------
Speak in a high tone
Breathe high in the chest-rapid, shallow breathing
Gesture high in the air, often trying to depict the images they can see internally
Often show tension in their body.

Auditory
----------
Speak in a rhythmic way, almost tunefully
Talk Mid tone
Breather mid chest
Gesture lower than speaking in a visual way
Often have their head tiled to one side as if to accentuate the amount they take in through their ears
Frequently touch their ears and mouth and often have their hand against their face as if on the telephone

Feelings
---------
Speak in a resonant way, slowly with frequent silences
Breath low in the chest-deep, slow breaths as if sighing
Gesture down to their right
Have a laid back body posture, relaxed and free moving

Eyes as you do them mirror as you see them
-------
right up construct visual rembered
left up remembering or straight defocused visual construct
straight defocused visual depending on how the body weight is distributed
right to ears construct audio
left to ears remembering audio
left down auditory digital, inner dialog
right down external feelings and emotions

Need to pick this up in others this week
