		<description>Absolutely!  I think that sincere belief leads to congruence in your speech.  Everything falls into place.  Your gestures become natural, your vocals become powerful, and your words hit the spot.</description>

		<title>Comment on Shaping Your Speech-Hand Gestures by Tim Noonan</title>

		<description>I&#039;ve been Googling for informative textual descriptions of gesture and its meaning for public and professional speaking, and this article was very helpful.

My actual challenge is that I am totally blind, and so much gesture is unconsciously seen, and then becomes part of spacial understanding.

Are there any texts which contain good and more expansive chapters of the symbolism of gesture, but which also verbally describe it, rather than just showing examples?

Any ideas and thoughts would be much appreciated.
