micro-gestures
- tiny body language 'leakage' signals, often 
unconsciously sent and interpreted, more likely to be seen and 
reacted to unconsciously rather than consciously, unless 
concentrating determinedly.
 
mime/miming gestures
- gestures used consciously to convey a 
specific message, such as extending the thumb and little finger by 
the ear to say "Phone me," or wiping imaginary sweat from the 
brow to express relief after a crisis subsides.
 
mirroring
- the synchronizing or matching of body language (and 
speech characteristics), usually between two people, which helps 
build feelings of trust and empathy.
