Linguist: In English, the past is described as behind and the future ahead,  whereas in Aymara the past is ahead and the future behind   Research indicates that English speakers sway backward when discussing the past and forward when discussing the future  Conversely, Aymara speakers gesture forward with their hands when discussing the past and backward when discussing the future
These bodily movements, ttherefore, suggest that the language one speaks affects how one mentally visualizes time
How people move when discussing the future correlates to some extent with how they mentally visualize time.
