Sounds like there is baggage associated with that term for her.<br />Boundaries are elastic, fluid, and dynamic if properly cared for. Nothing the matter with protecting yourself, it truly is the animal instinct and one we should honor, not fear. I can be open because I know where my boundaries are. I can be free because I accept my limits, I am not defined by them.Martha@A Sense of Humor is Essentialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129428477996644401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2071936172666189545.post-80352764502909379382009-06-15T08:18:21.154-04:002009-06-15T08:18:21.154-04:00I've said this before and I'll say it agai...I've said this before and I'll say it again ... I understand the concept of boundaries ... I was raised and indoctrinated in the so-called need and purpose of them. Yet I don't really believe in them anymore and I tire of hearing the word. It's a word that raises my hackles.<br /><br />In the past year I played a very conscious game with mySelf where I stripped myself of the boundaries I had perceived as "protective" ('cause they weren't workin'!) and allowed the "poison" to Be with Me, flow through Me, and back into the world - transformed. I was, to be candid, surprised by the outcome. In a very positive way.<br /><br />For a long time I've been saying -to myself and others, let the energies Flow ... don't block them by these so-called boundaries ... and each day I realize another layer of wisdom in this choice of mine. <br /><br />This is not to say that I don't manifest my Own time and my Own space ... I Do. But this time-n-space, like life itself is organic and maliabele and ever-changing. For me this resonates. <br /><br />Boundaries are static ... time and space is not.<br /><br />Oh ...
