Mirroring is physically ‘copying’ the behaviors of another in a subtle manner. Try mirroring just one aspect of another person’s behavior while talking to them…perhaps their posture. When this is easy, gently include another piece, like their hand gestures. Gradually add another and another until you are mirroring without thinking about it. The more you practice, the easier it will become. You also will be rewarded with the same comfortable, positive response in YOURSELF that you are creating for another.

Mirroring behaviors can include:

• Body Posture

• Hand Gestures

• Facial Expressions

• Weight Shifts

• Breathing

• Movement of Feet

• Eye Movements
