Our Mindful Nature {Formerly The Mindful Minute}
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
In so many of my dharma talks and conversations lately, boundaries have come up. Boundaries showed up in our meditation series on Passion & Paychecks with Tiffany Johnson. Boundaries showed up in our discussions on worry and on fierce self-compassion. Boundaries also show up for me perpetually in relationships, and are something I spend a good bit of time thinking about and working on.
Now, I am NOT a boundary expert. Sometimes I find I have very clear, easily expressed boundaries, and sometimes I struggle. Sometimes I don’t even notice, much less express that I’m not upholding a boundary of mine until I am way past it and spiraling into an emotional tornado…. {sigh.}.
Lucky for us, we have a meditation practice to help us wake up to the skill of setting boundaries. For what is meditation, if not a tool to help us awaken to that we were once asleep to?
Livia Shapiro, a somatic psychologist and yoga teacher, describes a boundary as a space that distinguishes you from others. If we are going to wake up to what our boundaries are, where they are lacking, etc. then we must first be able to establish what boundaries do exist.
Join me for today’s talk and guided meditation practice as a first step in clarifying and working with your own personal boundaries.
