Most of us may already be aware of the fact that we don't only communicate with each other through words, but also through a variety of non-verbal signals, or body language. Things like the way we sit at a meeting, certain gesture of our hands, the movements of our eyes, the crossing of our arms, and our facial expressions, for example, reveal something about ourselves and/or our feelings at the moment and other people tend to pick up on these things almost instantly and maybe even at an unconscious level.
Of course, our body language doesn't reveal all of the thoughts and feelings that we are having and sometimes a certain type of gesture can also mean different things at different times. Hence the information that we can get out of them is pretty limited. Nonetheless, our body language does play an important role in how others percieve us and oftentimes it can even reveal our true feelings while our words communicate something different.
That said, here's an educational video that teaches some of the basics:
