description
It is challenging to maintain our boundaries of self in the increasingly crowded fields of relationship we live in. We interact daily with wider and wider world communities through the internet and social media. We navigate rapidly changing natural environmental patterns with unexpected weather events and balance fluctuating norms in personal relationships and safety. What is the nature of the boundaries that can best serve us as we seek to weave resilience, balance and health in our lives?
Incarnational Spirituality suggests that by deepening our roots of identity in our sacredness we bring the resources and resilience needed to be able to define ourselves and meet and engage our world safely, joyfully from the fullness of our whole self. But how does such a boundary function?
Our own skin is a natural place to observe effective qualities to guide boundaries defined by identity rather than boundaries defined by walls.
As a boundary, a skin outlines our unique form in the world. It separates but does not isolate because it has the capacity to breathe, to absorb and give out. It allows us to touch the world and the world to touch us. It functions to protect and communicate. As a physical place of intersection and engagement it serves to enliven and regenerate. As a boundary it defines, connects and fosters our relationships with our world.
Healthy personal boundaries, whether physical, energetic, emotional or mental function similarly. They help us to keep our connections with ourselves, with others and with the world clear, refreshed, and nourished. We are able to listen and speak out, to touch and be touched, to learn and grow. Our boundaries connect us with the wholeness of life.
“Let your soul stand cool and composed before a million universes.”
