Non-verbal communication encompasses much more than just body language, including use of voice, touch, distance, and environments. It is a natural and unconscious language that reveals our true feelings and intentions. The ability to understand non-verbal cues can help with connecting with others, expressing what we mean, navigating difficult situations, and building better relationships. Non-verbal communication includes kinesics (body language), vocalics (paralanguage), proxemics (use of space), and chronemics (use of time).
