Even in the happiest couples, a lot of things are often left unsaid. However, when we fall asleep, our subconscious wakes up and spills all the beans. Watch the video to find out what you and your partner's sleeping position reveals about your relationship! For example, sleeping at a certain distance while still holding hands or staying connected through any other minimal touch shows that both of you are confident in the relationship. You don't need any over-the-top gestures to know that your partner is head-over-heels in love with you. Hilary Thompson, a wellness consultant with SleepTrain, says that minimal touch is just a little reminder of your presence and the affection you give to each other. So you can sigh with relief; your subconscious confirms that your relationship is on top of its game! TIMESTAMPS: Spooning 0:44 Head on the chest 1:38 Back-to-back 2:16 Face-to-face 3:08 Sleeping on your stomachs 4:01 Hand touching 4:46 Leg hugging 5:27 Tangling 6:18 One of the partners dominates the bed 7:04 Sleeping in separate beds 8:03 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - Spooning indicates intimacy and deep understanding between partners. This position also shows your roles in the relationship. If you're the big spoon, you're protective of your partner and can even be a bit possessive at times. - According to Patti Wood, a body language expert and the author of Success Signals: A Guide to Reading Body Language, the partner who puts their head on the other's chest shows their dependence, while the one who sleeps on their back demonstrates their power and desire to protect their other half. - Sleeping back-to-back can have completely different meanings depending on the space between you two. If your backs are touching, it shows that you're an established couple that values their space but manages to keep that connection with one another. - Sleeping with your faces and bodies turned towards each other is a position that signifies emotional connection. If you and your partner are touching during face-to-face sleeping, it means that you want the same things and understand each other perfectly. - If both you and your partner are big fans of sleeping on your stomach, this could be a sign of a little trouble in your personal paradise. - Sleeping at a certain distance while still holding hands or staying connected through any other minimal touch shows that both of you are confident in the relationship. - Intertwining your legs together while sleeping is another great sign for your relationship. Even if you don't really sleep that close to one another, this “leg hugging” shows your bond with your partner and your desire for deeper emotional and physical connection. - Tangling is a popular sleeping position among couples who just started dating. This is that stage of any new relationship when you just can't get enough of each other. And that's exactly what this position signifies. - If you or your partner prefer a starfish position and take up a whole lotta space while sleeping, it's not really a good sign. It basically indicates a selfish person who wants to be in charge at all times. Another important factor is whether your heads are at the same level. - The reasons behind a couple sleeping in different beds can vary from comfort issues and snoring to really serious problems in the relationship.

Using Body Language [Video description begins] Topic title: Using Body Language. Ali and James are in the presentation room. Ali is speaking to James. She is holding index cards. She looks confident. James listens to her silently. [Video description ends] ALI: These figures alone are pretty impressive. But further results from numerous independent studies have verified our findings, and even surpassed our expectations— JAMES: OK. Not bad, but you're still a little stiff. ALI: What do you mean? JAMES: You're a little robotic. I know this is just a practice run, but practice looking around at your audience, and consider losing the index cards so your hands are free. ALI: My hands? [Video description begins] The host is in the host space. [Video description ends] HOST: When you speak, your body language is talking, too. Maybe it says that you're confident and sincere. Or maybe it says that you're unsure and nervous. Controlling and using your body language is as important to confident communication as your voice. It's another tool to get your message across effectively. Stand or sit up straight to start. And don't fidget. Look and act like you're in control and belong in the room. And when you're facing a group, you need to make appropriate eye contact. Your audience wants you to acknowledge and speak to them. They want to connect. Staring at your notes, or at a blank spot on the wall at the back of the room doesn't do that. Look at them. They're who you're talking to. [Video description begins] Back in the presentation room, Ali and James continue their conversation. James is speaking to Ali. [Video description ends] JAMES: Yes, your hands. They're not just for holding things. They're also for expressing things. ALI: What if I just kind of wave them around now and then? [Video description begins] James laughs. [Video description ends] OK. I get it. [Video description begins] The host is in the host space. [Video description ends] HOST: Freeing up your hands allows you to use bold, purposeful hand gestures. According to body language expert, Patti Wood, "charismatic leaders use gestures four times as often as others do when they talk." Not only that, making hand gestures helps you think, dispels anxiety, and lets you emphasize key points. It's important to remember, though, to not overdo it, or you might find yourself waving your arms around without purpose. Use gestures for emphasis, not melodrama. And don't make fists, which seems overly aggressive and stressful. Keep your hands loose and relaxed. [Video description begins] Back in the presentation room, Ali and James continue their conversation. Ali is speaking to James. [Video description ends] ALI: These figures alone are pretty impressive. But further results from numerous independent studies have verified, and even surpassed them— JAMES: OK – just one more thing. ALI: Just one? JAMES: Just one. You've got your message down. Your voice is into it. Your hands are into it. But your face is still back at your desk. Use your face to help sell your point. You look flat and kind of bored. ALI: I think maybe I'm trying too hard to look serious. I want them to take me seriously. [Video description begins] The host is in the host space. [Video description ends] HOST: Serious doesn't equal expressionless. Let your facial expressions reflect what you're saying as you're saying it. When you smile, make sure it's at an appropriate time. If you're expressing concern, show it on your face. If your message gets serious, then let your face express it. When you're being upbeat, look upbeat. Your facial expression is part of your body language. Practice using it to your advantage. [Video description begins] Ali is standing in the presentation room. She is using her voice and hands appropriately throughout. [Video description ends] ALI: These figures alone are pretty impressive. But further results from numerous independent studies have verified, and even surpassed them. Now t

Don't worry; it might be not so dramatic as you imagine. There are a lot of things people try to communicate non-verbally. There is no need to say anything when our body language is expressive enough! The main thing is to read it correctly. Good signs - A fantastic indicator is if you start to notice that your hands touch each other by chance very often. There might be even no real reason for it. Or, even better, many specks of dust unexpectedly appear on your clothes that need to be urgently cleaned - what your partner diligently does! Well, with such signs, you can be sure that the interest in you is high. - Sometimes you might notice that, after telling some joke, the person who told it is looking at you and waiting for your reaction. Oh, that is an obvious sign of liking! - A shocking fact for you now: did you know that men usually stop smiling widely around the age of 5-6 years? If you notice that a man near you is wearing a Hollywood smile, it can mean that he is really happy, according to the words of the psychologist Patti Wood. - 100% proof that everything is going well is if you start to notice that your partner uses the same gestures and intonations that you do. It doesn't mean that they are trying to tease you. It is more probable that they like you and are copying you subconsciously! Bad signs - It is a bad sign if partners show contempt toward each other. It might be eye-rolling or speaking badly about the partner, making sarcastic remarks or even calling names. According to the statistics, it is a predictor that there is a threat of break-up or divorce. - You and your partner may sit at the table together, but if you are still eating your ravioli while your partner is already on their coffee and cheesecake, - too bad. Happy couples typically mirror each other's movements, therefore showing some synchronicity. It happens on a subconscious level, and its absence can be food for thought. - 'Arguing is a bad sign!' - you will say. Well, yes. But if partners are cold toward each other and keep their emotions "conserved," it can be an indicator that they have moved past the point of no-return and don't have any feelings left to express. - Loving people tend to show care toward their beloved ones. If instead of straightening your clothes or smoothing your hair, they simply inform you that your hair is messy, you should think whether your relationship is still harmonious.

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Patti Wood to discuss how to help your child heal.  Patti's new book Helping To Heal empowers parents to become active partners in their child's healing process from avoiding toxic exposures and encouraging nutritious food.  While parents may have grown up with practices that encouraged having a perfect home, grass and life, that may not be the case today as things like pesticides and processed food are now in less favor with parents.  A discussion on topics that many parents may never have heard about will be shared as commercials over the decades have pressured us to believe in the marketing and now many people are ill.  Time to turn the corner. For more information visit:  www.Helping2Heal.org  and www.GrassRootsinfo.org Sign up for Dr. Jeanette's free newsletter with book release information, blog postings and personal support consults visit:  www.DrJeanetteGallagher.com

Patti is the recipient of the EPA's prestigious Children's Environmental Health Excellence Award, and the author of Helping To Heal, a book for the parents of children with life-threatening illnesses. In this podcast she talks about what parents can do to help kids thrive, from preparing and eating healthy foods to making a home environment that is free from toxins.

Water is essential to life. It transports nutrients to our cells, aids in the digestion process, transports waste out of our bodies, helps maintain a normal temperature, lubricates our joints, and quenches our thirst.Consequently, it is crucial that we are mindful of the purity of this vital resource. There is virtually no place on earth that is invulnerable to water contamination, whether it be from burning fossil fuels, agricultural chemicals, industry, sewage, or non-point source pollution. In many areas of our country, multiple sources of pollution contaminate sole source drinking water supplies, making it necessary for people to filter their water or otherwise seek a pure water supply.Is bottled water a solution? As the bottled water industry is not well regulated, there is concern that the quality of their water is no better (and perhaps more contaminated due to leaching of chemicals from the plastic bottle) than many municipal water supplies. In addition, the number of individual plastic water bottles being released into the environment is staggering – Americans use 60 million every day! Fewer than 20% of these bottles are recycled (about one in six).In the U.S., public water supplies are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which requires daily testing for bacteria and regular testing for other contaminants. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates bottled water, only requires weekly testing and does not share its findings with the public.Water contaminants, including pesticides, radioactive substances, heavy metals, industrial waste, pharmaceuticals and pathogens continue to show up in urban, suburban, and rural water supplies all over the country. People are not educated about how their everyday activities can have a huge impact on water quality.Patti Wood, Executive Director of the environmental health non-profit organization, Grassroots Environmental Education, and visiting scholar at Adelphi University in New York, joins Mark Alyn to discuss this critical issue.Learn about some solutions on drinking water, including how to maintain lawns without synthetic chemicals, how to properly dispose of leftover prescription drugs, how to filter your own water at home, and many other water-related tips.Many scientists have said that wars will be fought over water in the future.

Today we travel to a future without lies. What would it be like if we all wore accurate lie detectors around all the time?    In this episode we talk about when children learn to lie, the different social functions of lying, and what might happen if we couldn’t ever fib. How would negotiations be different? How would we make small talk? Could we create art or music? All that and more in this week’s future.     This week’s show features four experts in the different facets of deception. Patti Wood is an expert in detecting non-verbal cues. She told me about her work, and the ways she uses body language to try and tell if someone is lying. Maria Konnikova is a journalist and the author of a book called The Confidence Game, all about con artists and people who are really good at lying. She says that while many of the people her book is about would have been thwarted, there would be serious downsides to not being able to lie to one another. Michael Lewis has studied lying and childhood development for over fifty years, and he says that children learn really early on that lying is something they should be doing. And Andrea Kupfer Schneider is a professor of ethics and dispute resolution at Marquette University Law School. She says that without the ability to lie, negotiations would actually be way better.     Right now there are tons of different technologies and methods that try to detect lying, which range from imperfect to totally bogus. According to the American Psychological Association polygraph tests, the lie detector setup you see in movies and TV all the time, don’t accurately tell if someone is lying. There’s also a device called a voice stress analyzer — what it does is listen to your voice and try to detect signs of stress, which suggests that you might not be telling the truth. But according to a study done by the National Institute of Justice, voice stress analyzers are often no better than chance at detecting lies. Of course, that hasn’t stopped some places from using them surreptitiously during phone interviews.     There are also all kinds of drugs that attempt to make people tell the truth. These are staples of movies and television shows, but like most things they don't work as well as they do on TV.    If you’re interested in the history of lie detectors, check out this book by Ken Alder, which explores not just who invented the polygraph, but the long history of our obsession with finding a biological connection to “the truth.” And if you’re interested in a movie about a world without lies, try The Invention of Lying.     Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Broke for Free. The episode art is by Matt Lubchansky.     This week’s future voices were provided by Sarah Werner, Brent Rose, Kirstin Butler, Pablo Meier, Eddie Guimont, Guillermo Herrera, Justin Cameron and Jess Zimmerman, who also suggested this future to us, so thanks Jess! If you want to be a voice in the future you can do that, it’s one of the rewards we have for becoming a Patron of the show on Patreon.     If you want to suggest a future we should take on, send us a note on Twitter, Facebook or by email at info@flashforwardpod.com. We love hearing your ideas! And if you think you’ve spotted one of the little references I’ve hidden in the episode, email us there too.

Patti Wood joins Mark Alyn talk about her book, Helping to Heal. The book is written for parents of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and is being widely distributed through hospitals, treatment centers, support groups and Ronald McDonald Houses all over the country. Caring for a seriously ill child is one of the greatest challenges of parenting. It is a time when your instinct is to nurture and protect, but you may have feelings of helplessness and frustration while doctors and other health care professionals manage your child’s illness. Helping to Heal is a practical and engaging guidebook that helps parents become important partners in their child’s healing process by encouraging them to prepare nutritious, nutrient-dense meals and provide a safe home environment, two things that only parents can provide. A heightened interest in the role of nutrition in healing and the recent focus on children’s unique vulnerability to environmental toxins make this book not only useful, but very timely. The most recent President’s Cancer Panel Report, the American Academy of Pediatric’s “Handbook of Pediatric Environmental Health” and a new statement by the American Cancer Society vigorously support the book’s message and it has been enthusiastically embraced by doctors, nutritionists and researchers working on children’s environmental health issues around the world. Patti shares her thoughts on the book with Mark, as well as some of the other projects that her non-profit is currently engaged in, including the issue of wireless radiation exposures and potential impacts on human health.
