SGC Admin: From our inbox to you from Madisyn Taylor on… Body Language…

 

Body Language
BUSINESS PEOPLE TALKING ILLUSTRATIO
by Madisyn Taylor

Tuning in to the language of our bodies can be very enlightening and increases our intuition.

So much can be revealed to us when we listen to the language of our bodies. Our bodies are always speaking, sending us messages through the way we move, the sensations that arise from within, and the gestures and expressions that we make when we are communicating with others. Tuning in to the language of our bodies can be very enlightening, especially as most communication is believed to take place nonverbally. It is also believed that the body never lies, and that if we want to know the truth about ourselves and others, then we should listen to what our bodies have to say. Anyone who has ever flirted with someone they are attracted to has probably, at one point in time or another, brushed their hands through their hair or found themselves leaning forward to get closer to that person. Someone feeling defensive will tend to cross their arms over their chest, while a person who wants to withhold something may look away when speaking.

If you want to know how you truly feel about a person or a situation, then it is a good idea to tune in to what you are feeling inside. Excitement, nervousness, anxiety, and fear are just some of the messages that your body wants you to hear. Your body can also be a very reliable compass. Anyone who has ever been somewhere they don’t want to be has probably experienced their bodies trying to move them away from that particular circumstance. And while it can be very easy to talk ourselves into and out of choices we may make with our minds, it isn’t so easy to change the truth of our hearts that reside within our bodies.

To begin tuning in to this subtle form of communication, start taking the time to notice what your body is telling you. Greet each feeling or sensation as a message carrying wisdom from your body. Tune in to what your body is telling you about the situations and people you encounter and listen to what others are communicating to you through their bodies. We already are subconsciously receptive to the language of our bodies, but when we choose to consciously pay attention, we hear and understand so much more about ourselves and the people around us.

5 things to know about Donald Trump, based on his birth chart

Wow thanks so much Wondergirl for this insightful look at the birth chart of the newest President of the United States…

Donald Trump will be inaugurated on Jan. 20 as the 45th president of the United States.

His ceremony, which will be held on Friday at 11:30 a.m. in Washington, D.C., has been the subject of much debate and speculation in recent weeks, with many people backing out of the ceremony last minute, protesting it, or refusing to perform at it.

Moby, Celine Dion, Elton John, and Garth Brooks are among a few of the celebrities that were rumored to perform at the inauguration but have since then denied the invitation. Actress Meryl Streep also gave an impassioned plea against Trump earlier this month at the Golden Globes.

But the chaos didn’t start there. Even the election was controversial, with much information coming out in favor of or against the Republican presidential candidate. During his campaign this past year, he has caught flack for many of his comments concerning Latinos, Muslims, and women
