G. David Craig

In the Star Wars franchise, the "force" is an energy field that is wielded by certain characters who can harness its power. One of the abilities of those who are strong in the force is using the power of telekinesis, which allows them to move objects or people with their minds. This ability could potentially be used to repel threats by pushing them away or throwing them off balance.

Though physically moving people with your mind may be a bit of a stretch it’s certainly possible to influence others, and thereby their thoughts, movements, and actions, through the use of body language, presence, and nonverbal cues. These types of cues can be very powerful, as they can convey confidence, aggression, submission, or other emotions and intentions. In many cases, people are not even aware of the influence that these cues are having on themselves or others, as they are processed subconsciously.

There are specific ways that you can use body language and presence to enhance your safety. For example, maintaining eye contact and a relaxed posture can convey confidence and make you appear more attentive or fearless. On the other hand, avoiding eye contact and crossing your arms can make you appear untrustworthy, inattentive, or an easy target for an ambush.
