Have you wondered how mentalists can PREDICT or TELL what is in your mind!? Well apparently it is not! The clues were always there on your body! They make sure to READ it! It is not easy of course!
The book Laws of Nature talks about, well laws of human nature! But then he tells us about Milton Erickson!
Then again the blog is not about Milton Erickson per say but about what he observed!
Many times we say yes but we actually are reluctant to do that work but cannot bring ourselves to say no!
It is a very common issue especially for people who are social and who do not like to displease others! Those who like to be known as helpful and friendly!
Then again this is not a blog to teach to how to say no! But what Erickson observed is how to recognise a person meaning NO when he or she is TELLING yes!
Erickson was a brilliant kid who unfortunately got inflicted with polio and those days it was a death sentence. He did recover but soon his whole body was paralysed with only his eyes and brain under perfect working conditions!
As is the case; when one special sense is reduced, the others get heightened! Which is what happend and Erickson spent months studying his family and caregivers to decode hidden intentions.
He realized the body often leaks truth while the mouth complies!
One of them is the Micro-Head Shakes! A person might say “yes” aloud while performing a nearly imperceptible side-to-side head movement!
Then you have the Contradictory Tone! A cheerful or upbeat agreement paired with a flat, monotone voice reveals underlying reluctance!
Then yo have the facial Pacifying! Which means acts like touching the face or rubbing the neck while nodding agreement often turns that “yes” into a hidden disagreement!
Finally you have the subtle changes called the Tension Shifts which includes sudden changes in breathing, swallowing, or micro-eye movements signal internal resistance!
There are of course a whole body of people who actually specialise in READING these body movements! But hopefully these may help you find out if the person is actually fully IN or he or she is simply saying YES to please you!
If only there were some clues to know if the person is saying YES when he or she is actually saying NO! Now that is a NOBEL worthy study!
Then again that is what great actors do! Like Manoj Pahwa! I like sketching a little plump people since you get the lines better and it usually turns out to be good!
For now try to see the subtle signs of sleep and sleep!
Shubh ratri!
