You can't actually "Control" your own non-verbal communication, yet you can be aware of it to some extent. What you can learn to do is control your thoughts and state which lead to certain non-verbal communications. My control was in my focus on the state I wanted to be in. Some of that was through internal dialogue and some internal visualization. In the end it always comes down to BEING what you want to represent non-verbally.

Thanks for that inspiration, I will be looking for the next opportunity to practise that.
