HARNESSING THE FORMIDABLE POWER OF EMOTIONS

Emotions are a vital source of power for women. By tapping into and pulling strength from emotions, we can boost our physical defenses and super-size our fighting heart. When combined with the charge of adrenaline, this energy—be it terror, fury, or our craving for life—can transform petite women into formidable fighters.

But to make emotions work in your defense, here's what YOU need to get a handle on:

Appreciate the power and double agency of fear. Fear can be savior and saboteur; it can mobilize AND enfeeble. Learn to interpret fear's signals as your trigger to act, to mobilize some action-- NOT inaction. (Unless freezing is purposeful and useful.)

Fear's prime purpose is to rally your defenses-- it's an agent of survival.

Fear's other job is to release a potent adrenaline-fueled cocktail into your bloodstream, prepping your body for flight (escape) or fight (battle), gifting you with incredible strength and speed that you can then capitalize on.

Know this: adrenaline produces shakes, dry mouth, rapid heart rate, tunnel vision, loss of fine / complex motor control, possible loss of bowels—but hey, who cares? —and loss of cognitive abilities.

Precisely why you should stick to gross motor skills. With this cocktail pumping through your veins, pain can become meaningless, at least secondary. Anticoagulants will slow down bleeding, helping you fight your way to safety. Good stuff!

Find the center-of-gravity within intense emotion and attach to that. Let this strengthen and galvanize you. Don't let it overwhelm you or devolve into panic. The secret? Collect yourself. Focus. Think. Breathe!

Self defense is elemental. It calls for Fire & Ice. If pinned or you cannot immediately move, stay COOL on the surface - don't telegraph intent!--gathering and fueling your energy below until it's time to unleash and explode out. When it's time to unleash... Ready. Aim. Fire! Explode like a bullet straight into your target. Not like a firecracker dispersing energy in all directions at once.

Once your fear has ushered into motion the neurological changes that prep us for action, the fear must burn away into the flame of another more appropriate emotion: PRIMAL RAGE.

Focus and aim this potent energy into the HEART of your attacker. If it is to escape, blast through him to safety. If we must counter attack, this fury becomes the unsuspected wolverine at his throat.

Do not let the power of your emotion get ahead of your technique. Emotion and technique must work in concert, together as ONE.

HARMONY on steroids.
