Boundaries With Love

Boundaries aren't walls that keep people out, they are the doors that protect your peace.
This practice is designed to help you to open up to what nourishes you and to shield yourself from that which harms.
Practise this easy to remember technique when you feel the need to stay loving, while being circled by a powerful protective force.

Close your eyes and let your breath become the anchor in and out and feel the breath rising and falling like gentle waves running through the body What can you feel in the body now? Maybe temperature Maybe clothes touching the skin Soften the body and relax Boundaries are not walls They are the quiet edges of your truth They say, This is where I stand in love And this is what I will not cross And take a slow breath in feeling your whole body supported And as you exhale imagine a soft light around you Not a barrier but a living field of kindness It welcomes what nourishes and it filters what harms Sometimes love means stepping closer Sometimes love means stepping back Both are acts of care And as you tune into the breath know that you can be open and strong at the same time Feel your heart as a gentle flame Steady Warm And undisturbed by the wind Love flows from you but it does not drain you It isn't given at the cost of yourself And silently offer yourself this phrase May I honour my truth with kindness May I meet others with compassion without losing myself Rest in this balance Keeping the heart soft but on steady ground Boundaries with love And when you need it bring back the soft light around you The living field of kindness Welcoming in all that nourishes you And filtering what harms And when you're ready you can open your eyes Carrying this strength and softness together Out into your day
