The Kind Boundary

5 · 10 min4 steps

Before you begin

Stand or sit tall. Bring to mind one place in your life where your edges have gone blurry.

The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like

  1. Own your space

    Feel the space immediately around your body as yours — a respectful arm's length in every direction.

    about 90 seconds

  2. Draw the circle

    Imagine a clear, kind circle at that edge: permeable to love, closed to harm.

    about 120 seconds

  3. Practise the no

    Silently say: what is mine, I will tend; what is not, I release. Feel the truth of it.

    about 90 seconds

  4. Seal with breath

    Take three full breaths, letting the boundary feel calm rather than hard.

    about 60 seconds

Accessibility

All imagery optional; the practice works through posture and words alone.
