Do you realize that you always communicating something even if you are not using words?

When you have well-developed sensory acuity, you are able to notice things that other people cannot notice, even the minutest shifts in a person’s external dispositions.

Even as you notice minute changes from moment to moment, you do not however give any meaning to these changes.

You just notice that something has gone on inside that person that has manifested itself into an external result.
One word of caution, do not imagine that you have noticed something, but be sure that there has actually been a change in the other person’s external appearance.

The idea of sensory acuity is not to guess what they are thinking or what is on inside them, it is simply to notice that something in their physiology or energy field has changed.

Imagining that you have seen something and having actual sensory feedback two completely different skills.

Here some external symptoms:

1. A colour shift, usually face or neck

The skin and will usually go from lighter to darker or appear flushed.  It is almost like they are blushing all have suddenly gone a bit red. It can be very mild, but it is noticeable.

2. A change skin tone

The skin tonus may go from tight to relaxed, or from relaxed to tight.

There may also appear a certain shininess of the skin the tighter the skin becomes.

3. The breathing rate may alter

The breathing rate my either go from normal to fast, or from normal to slower.

4. The breathing location may move

Although visual people generally breathe higher up in the chest, auditory people breath more towards the middle of the chest, and a kinesthetic people breath lower in the diaphragm, when there has been an internal physiological shift due to an emotional reaction of some kind, the position of the breathing of all three groups of people will change.

You will have been unable to establish whether the person you are talking to is predominantly a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic person because of the eye pattern movements.

Therefore, a deviation from this will be an indication that there has been an internal shift.

5. Lower lip size change

An internal shift can also manifest itself in a change of the lower lip from thin to fuller. 

To observe this look at the way the lines appear on the lips, when they are full, compared with stretched smoothness when they are not full.  This takes practice.

6. Pupil dilation

A person’s pupils will range from smaller to larger as they dilate depending on the internal changes that have occurred.

7. Muscle movement

Minute muscle movements can also be detected giving us feedback on the effects of our communication.

Milton Erickson is reported to have noticed subtle ankle muscle changes in his patients as they sat at one end of his consulting office and he at the other end.

As with everything, it is only by taking each point at a time and practising it at every opportunity, and then building the skills one on top of the other, that proficiency will follow.

It does not take the subconscious mind long to know, what you ask of it when you apply these skills.

In no time you will be able to notice these sensory acuity skills quite subconsciously.
