Why Bother?
To Learn to Keep Yourself Safe That Is
Do you feel anxious about your daughter’s safety? Are you fed
up with feeling uneasy every time you use an underground parking
lot? Have you stopped walking your dog after dark? Do you feel
afraid when you hear an unusual noise? Have you ever felt
intimidated, belittled or manipulated? Have you ever been sexually
harassed and not known how to deal with it? Have you ever been
attacked, mugged or sexually assaulted and felt victimized?
How would you feel if you were more confident about your ability
to keep yourself emotionally and physically safe? What would your
life be like?
Learning how to protect your emotional and physical safety can
change your life, because the inner courage, self-respect and power
that you need to awaken to really keep yourself and your family safe
isn't confined to some kind of special "self-defense"
compartment – when you really bring those qualities out, they can
be there for every part of your life.
"The most powerful force on earth is the human soul on
fire." (Anthony Robbins)
"When I learned, in my body, that I could protect myself and
anyone I loved from violence, I took my first step to living the
life I had always dreamed of. When I finally walked through my fear
of attack, I transcended my fear of life itself." (Christine
Schlattner)
Learning to keep yourself safe isn't only to have the skills to
protect yourself in case of an emergency someday – it's to give
you a new sense of empowerment and freedom RIGHT NOW and for every
day of your life. Who knows what magic can happen when you have that
feeling about your life?
