A NEUTRAL handshake should use the same pressure to hold say a hammer, a bat or a racquet. The hand should be 'neutral' neither palm up nor palm down.

A palm up handshake indicates subservience.

A palm down handshake indicates control.


A sequence of handshakes indicating degrees of warmth and passion. Please be aware that the hand is the third least erogenous zone to be

able to touch. The least erogenous zone on a man is the lower arm, and the upper arm

on a woman. The double handshake shows great warmth and passion. You would

only do this with close friends, and people with whom you have deep sincere gratitude. The last picture with the hand on the shoulder, could also end with the arm over the shoulder-it indicates further warmth and

feeling. Anyone who gives you a handshake with two hands, when first meeting

you, is likely to be insincere and overwhelming, or even deceitful.


The lowered steep-ling of the hands indicates listening, and can also be a negative confidence gesture.


The scratch to the back of the neck indicates either the neck itches or uncertainty or even lying.

Pulling the ear can be an ear itch. It can mean nervousness or deceit.

It can mean a desire to shut out the words they are hearing, or the words aren't 'going in'.

It may also indicate they've heard enough.


Hot under the collar!

People touch their face 10 times more than normal when they feel uncomfortable.

When you lie, you feel a tingling sensation around your face and neck, and feel you need to touch or relieve the area.


Hand clasping at a desk or in a chair on its own may indicate nervousness, insecurity or anxiety.

Loosely clasped would be more like anticipation and the more tightly clasped they are, the more the anxiety.


Clasped hands in front of the body are a barrier signal, seeking reassurance.

If the thumbs were steeple’d it would be a confidence gesture.


Here's the mother of all confidence gestures, even arrogance.

Men, when evaluating and responding to women's ideas will often go into this position. The reply may even start with the arrogant little cough.

The most supreme will be when the chair is tilted back onto two legs.


Crossed legs can be comfort, but often indicate negativity. Holding a clipboard in front of the chest at the same time will indicate negativity, a barrier signal, seeking reassurance, pushing you away.

When sat back, arms folded and the legs are crossed tightly, this is extremely negative. You may walk in and see this negativity, indicating prior feelings to you arriving, or you may say something, which affects this negativity.


Sat back with an arm over the chair will indicate lethargy. They maybe don't want to be there, and aren't giving you much attention.

Leg cocked over the chair will indicate indifference.

The attention they are giving you is minimal.


Four seating position. It can be on the positive route. It normally indicates mild confrontation and stubbornness at that point.

This is blatant territorial ownership. Claiming territory. It could easily be disregard of other

people's territory if it were say your feet on someone else's desk.

He who does not understand a look will not understand a long explanation either
