However I understood more than he was verbalizing because he was employing body language. He captivated me with his concerned eyes.

Body language is the number one connector between people.
Learning how to read it will aid in understanding what is being said. It can help to identify a new mother's problem when her question doesn't seem to match her body language.

The reading of body language, therefore is one of the most significant skills to good listening.
