Often, communication is considered the words that are actually spoken or written or the message that is delivered. While this is the final product, there is so much more going on under the surface that is influencing what is communicated.
Research on communication tell us that words account for only 7% of the impact of communication, body language and voice tone account for 23% and an astounding 70% of communication is energetic. That is very interesting considering that most people have never heard of the “energetics of communication”.
Here is how it works – wherever there is electricity, a magnetic field is created. Our heart is electric, so a magnetic field is created around us. This electromagnetic field acts as a carrier wave of information, much like a cell phone signal. We communicate our emotional state through this electromagnetic field.
Have you ever gone into a room and although the people stop talking, you can feel the tension in the air? As they say, “you could cut the tension in the air with a knife”. This clearly isn’t because of the words that they are saying – they’ve stopped talking – it is because of the energetic exchange that has been broadcast through this field. This is the most important and influential aspect of communication and you can learn to master it.
