Nonverbal communication

Master Kosen – Published on March 14 – daily-life

Question

Hello. These days I am interested in, and thinking about, the signs people use to communicate. I have thought of music, the symbolic code of body movement, numerical
or mathematical code, semantics or language, pictorial code or images, volume (sculpture), space (architecture or landscaping), and position (conveying something through the placement of certain objects). But I feel I am forgetting one.
Something related to consciousness.

Could you give me your opinion on this subject, which may seem silly at first glance? What signs of communication would you add? Do we communicate something in zazen?

Thank you for your contribution.
