Perhaps we would be better off ignoring it, but that is not going to happen.
Some studies tell us that 55% of what we communicate is communicated thru the
visual aspects (38% thru sound of voice and 7% thru words). Since body
language is such a powerful language, perhaps we had better pay attention to
just exactly what we are communicating thru it!
