Copying Body Language
| Self Development : Interpreting Body Language Copying body language is called mirroring. This can be a good way of relating to others as it is something we do naturally when we feel a rapport or natural connection and comfort around someone. Therefore watch others in meetings - if they naturally mirror the sort of body language that you display, then you know that they are at one and at ease and generally comfortable around you. However in a meeting with 'brand new' people mirroring is sometimes done because they have read a book on NLP or similar and are trying to build a relationship insincerely. Therefore if someone mirrors you too quickly and too well, then be on your guard. If someone is genuinely using natural mirroring then you probably won't realise it is happening!
