The other week Julia was walking in one of the rougher areas of London. Half reading a magazine not really paying attention where she was going, suddenly Julia sensed danger and looked up to sea two people approach her. Julia also sensed that there was someone behind her, she looked into the eyes of one of those approaching her, then looked at into the eyes of the person behind her, then she looked directly into the eyes of those approaching her and made herself look ready and hard, Julia realizes she cannot prove that the people intended to mug her, but Julia is knowledgeable enough of the ways of the city to know what was going down, Julia's intended adversaries bottled out and just walked past her then talked to each other and started throwing stones into the nearby canal. Julia is grateful she sensed that danger and was able to react to the threat, what was the sense that helped Julia in this instance?

Instinct, always listen to your instincts they will serve you well.

It is a very sad world when Julia can not walk down the street in safety.
Unfortunately you have to become street wise to survive.
The sense you used was common sense, a sense which is changing as we speak.

Same instinct that tells some zebras to begin running before the lion breaks free of the cover. The ones that don't have the instinct tend to die out...

This is not an unknown sense but more an unacknowledged fight or flight survival instinct that we use immediately in situations similar to this where we need to preserve ourselves..We use this natural instinct all the time.We just do not always realise it.This time your instinct determined that you prepare for fight.Another time your instinct might tell you to run(flight).Subconsciously you analysed the situation and reacted instinctively.

Hi, just instinct I guess! I've got a sixth sense about stuff, too. It has saved me a few times.

Looked up to sea? They've got a coastline here in London?
Were you around Finsbury Park by any chance?

yes one can sense danger, can read danger from people's eyes/body language. this is to protect one.
you can even sense danger behind you before seeing it.
