I recently started working on this technique called Mirroring. Basically it allows you to copy the body language of someone and create connections between the two of you that you might not otherwise have. Mirroring is supposed to put you in the other person's shoes so that you can get a better idea of how they're feeling.
Have you ever paid attention to how you and a lot of your closer friends walk and talk and probably dress the same? You are all mirroring each other without even totally realizing it. How do you think you would feel if one of your friends stopped walking and talking and dressing the same as you? You would probably think that not much would change, but studies show that you would feel almost as though your friendship is suffering and you have somehow lost that special connection.
Mirroring seems to be an excellent tool to bridge distances. By creating this initial connection with people, you can really get an idea about who they are and what areas of their lives they may need to work on. Body language is a powerful tool that has been neglected in the world of communication for far too long.
