EWS

What is EWS? It is our "Early Warning System/Signals/Signs!" Lets go with a system which is tied into mother natures survival system, intuition. What makes EWS is that it requires a conscious effort to train and use consistently. It is that system that runs when you are out in the world so when it is triggered by our either conscious or unconscious awareness our combat readiness jumps up a notch so we can evaluate and act.

It is hoped that EWS will warn us enough in advance that we simply avoid the danger. If our mindful awareness coupled with appropriate knowledge is running well we can do this yet if we are plugged in to our phones and iPod's it may not allow us to avoid so we hopefully are warned so we can deescalate, etc.

The EWS allows us to scan and be warned so we don't get burned out like many who remain on high alert constantly tend to do. Ask anyone who is a professional of violent work, remaining on high alert always is as dangerous as being clueless, somewhat (my theory so ask a pro).

Knowledge and Experience, these are crucial to EWS functionality and failsafe. Just knowledge alone of violence, etc. the streets, etc. can provide a good EWS because your mind, intuition, can at least have some reference to say, ops - danger, danger, danger Will Robinson.

Then again, I am still figuring stuff out.

Note: I have a neat graphic but am waiting for the base drawing author to ok my using that part in my graphic, etc.
