Chapter 14
HOW THE BODY
POINTS TO WHERE THE
MIND WANTS TO GO
Often, the body goes one way while
the mind goes anotherHave you ever been talking with someone and had the feeling
he would rather be elsewhere than with you, even though he
seems to be enjoying your company? A still photograph of that
scene would probably reveal two things: first, the person's
head is turned towards you and facial signals such as smiling
and nodding are evident; and second, the person's body and
feet are pointing away from you, either towards another
person or towards an exit. The direction in which a person
points his body or feet is a signal of where he would prefer to
be going.
