Intuition isrepparttar divine ability to connect with our inner self. It isrepparttar 130608 part of us that knowsrepparttar 130609 answers to questions before they are even asked. However in our society, we seem to have decided that it is far better to be reasonable and logical. Have we not yet learned thatrepparttar 130610 two should be in loving relationship to one another and not in competition? By joiningrepparttar 130611 forces of logic and intuition, one can even enhance their safety from one ofrepparttar 130612 most damaging criminal acts-sexual assault.

Sexual assault is non-consensual sexual contact. Women, men and children of all ages can be victimized by sexual assault. A rapist may be a stranger, acquaintance, or relative. In 1998,repparttar 130613 U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Statistics reported that roughly 18% or 17.7 million women had experienced rape or attempted rape at some point in their lifetime.

Most people are more at risk of being assaulted by people who know them. Between 70-80% of all sexual assaults occur atrepparttar 130614 hands of someone thatrepparttar 130615 victim knows. By nurturing our intuition with awareness we can help others and ourselves to enhance their safety:

Be aware that that it can happen to you or someone you love. Ignoringrepparttar 130616 reality may further increaserepparttar 130617 risk.

Be aware that someone may attempt to disrupt your intuitive flow by asking you a question or providing you with information. Often strangers will ask a question like “Excuse me, do you know what time it is?” "How do I get to route 301 from here?” or say something like “It sure is hot out here!” “Your purse is open.” “Your ride is here.” When you allow yourself to begin thinking only, you are not connected torepparttar 130618 discomfort of being inrepparttar 130619 presence of someone you do not know. Maintain a balance of intuition and reasoning.

·Be aware ofrepparttar 130620 discomfort that comes with being alone with a person that you do not know well. Inrepparttar 130621 absence of intuition, we tell ourselves that nothing will happen or that we are being silly. Our inner self is right when it informs us that it may take quite awhile before we should feel comfortable enough to trust another person enough to be alone with them.
