Boundaries are more than the words we use, they are felt in our bodies and our lives in deep and meaningful ways. This is a quick boundary visualization exercise for when you feel overwhelmed, scared, panic, or simply lost in your inner experience.

Transcript

A lot of the times when our boundaries feel overwhelmed or our nervous systems are supercharged in a certain way,

Sitting down to meditate and potentially do a boundary or visualization exercise might feel like actually the last thing that we want to do.

And so this meditation is meant to be short in nature and can be repeated multiple times as you attempt to set these boundaries.

So take a second and let yourself just focus internally.

Notice the inhale and the exhale.

And begin to visualize that with every exhale you are letting go of the energy,

Emotions,

Thoughts or sensations that do not belong to you.

With every exhale,

Whether that is forceful in nature or long,

Slow,

And deliberate,

You release what is not yours to carry.

Not having to think about or label or name who it belongs to,

But just as you exhale,

Feeling these things be released.

And then,

From that position,

You visualize a boundary,

A bubble of protection around you.

And with this bubble of protection,

You bring that bubble within the distance that feels just right for you.

Neither too close nor too far away.

And with just the right amount of force to it,

To withstand what others are thinking,

Feeling,

Or just experiencing.

And as you visualize that bubble,

Now fill that bubble up with your own life force.

Allowing that life force to just permeate every area of that bubble.

You can work with this visualization and this intention as many times as you would like,

But keeping it short and sweet and to the point as you hold your life energy in that bubble.

And once that image and that experience feels as complete as it could possibly be,

Allowing yourself to take a nice,

Deep inhale,

And slowly exhaling,

Allowing this meditation to come to a close.

Outstay! Thank you. I’ve been moving since Saturday, closing out one chapter and beginning a new one, relocating to a new area, new everything! The one constant has been my dedication to the tool kit so have curated by using this app. Tonight I needed a boundary reset as all my emotions and that of my partners were depleted, I felt overcharged (perfect language!) scrolling through I was led to your meditation which invited me to release what was not mine & absolutely unwind for the first time in 4 days! Walking & taking breaks has helped, but nothing reset me until I did this combination of breath work & guided visualization. Thank you! Try this anytime! I did it before bed & feel ahmazing! ☮️🧘‍♂️
