Body language

People can not live without each other, we are social beings. As soon as we are in contact with others we are communicating. For this we can make use of spoken and written language. In these ways we make the content of a message clear to each other. However we can also communicate without words. This kind of communication tells us something about the relationship between people. Often this is more important than getting the content of the message across. The communication about this non spoken communication, which tells us something about the relationship between people, is called Meta-Communication.
Body language is a language without spoken words and is therefore called non verbal communication. We use body language all the time, for instance looking someone in the eyes means something different than not looking someone in the eyes. In contact with others it is just not possible to be not communicating something.
Body language is a term for communication using body movements or gestures instead of,or in addition to, sounds, verbal language or other communication. It is an important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating.
If you wish to communicate well, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean. It comes in clusters of signals and postures, depending on the internal emotions and mental states.
There are many books and articles how to improve our body language. Improving our body language can make a big difference in our people skills, attractiveness and general mood.
