Verbal communication involves the use of words both spoken and written.

Non-verbal communication involves the use of body language, gestures, facial expressions.

Para-verbal communication involves the use of tone of voice, rhythm, accent and other things related to the sound of the words we speak. This is important because the sound is receipt before the meaning of the words and therefore it may begin to create an emotion in the audience and may contribute to the effectiveness of the message we are transmitting.

Some breathing techniques help to reduce stress. In particular some researches suggest that:

• focusing on longer exhaling because it reduces heart rate and blood pressure. A typical cycle is breathing in through the nose for 4 seconds and exhaling for 8 seconds.
• using the diaphragm properly because it reduces heart rate and blood pressure and stimulates the vagus nerve that activates the relaxation response. To practice diaphragmatic breathing:
  1. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly.
  2. Inhale through the nose for about 4 seconds filling the belly first and the chest later.
  3. Hold your breath for a couple of seconds.
  4. Exhale very slowly through your mouth for about 6-8 seconds being sure to empty the belly.
