Women's Safety Information

Women are well known for their powers of intuition, but sometimes this power seems to be turned off. So how can you reclaim this power and use it to protect yourself.

Intuition. Self belief and self power work hand in hand. In fact any skill we have is either validated or invalidated by our experiences in life.

An otherwise confident person can have their self assuredness reduced to rubble by accepting the opinions of others. Children are particularly vulnerable. They can be emotionally scarred by parents or siblings, by groups of hurtful children or teachers whose skills in personal development are lacking.

Your intuition is a gift, but if you are told you are stupid for having such feelings then soon you will push that skill into the background. It is this skill that is so important to help you make good life decisions yet so often it is neglected because another inner voice says don’t be ridiculous. It is high time you allowed your intuition to reassert itself, and for you to start to trust your own judgement again.

Trust is the issue.

Trust is eroded over time, school work families, all of these can build us up or pull us down. Different people will experience intuition in different ways, but the most common response is the classic “Gut Feeling”

My message to you is to trust your gut. When you get that creepy feeling in your stomach, pay attention. Like any human response, we have to learn to work with it. And in order to do so we need to test it and see the results for ourselves.

It is important to give recognition to your intuition when it is right. That guy who seemed too good to believe, you kicked yourself for rejecting his dinner offer, but later you find he can be violent when he drinks. Say thanks to your inner knowing.

The more you work with these feeling the more you frequently it will be right. It is very important not to override this feeling. If it doesn’t feel right to get into the car with these strangers don’t do it. If someone gives you directions and you feel uneasy, go another way. Trust and believe in your own feelings.

Sure you will be wrong on occasions, and it may cost you a fun date. But you have to look at the big picture. Your intuition only has to save you from one dangerous situation in your entire life for it to be valuable for you.

And its not just about violence. Not getting on the back of the motor cycle with a rider you’re not sure about, or even not taking a particular route home, or even knowing when you have had enough to eat. Learn to trust yourself and use this feeling to protect yourself.
