This week we are repurposing one of our favourite episodes from the Functional Spirituality archive.    'Boundaries' is a common topic in personal development and spirituality, but do we really know what healthy boundaries are? It is a skill that needs to be cultivated and ultimately becomes an art form in how we relate to our health, our happiness and each other.    Healthy boundaries help regulate our nervous system in a sustainable way. What are the main ingredients of having Healthy Boundaries? How can we develop this skill so our requests are not either too rigid or too loose?   Listen to this podcast to answer these questions.   If you want to receive the longer training on boundaries please click here.    Relevant episodes: Two ways healing tools work    Chapter markers: 00:00 The importance of internal awareness and reflection in spirituality  2:45 Boundaries vs Spiritual Values 5:00 Relational dynamics and how they contribute to our health  7:00 What are healthy boundaries? 8:50 How do we build this skill?  12:55 Self awareness  14:15 Communication   19:00 Flexibility 20:30 Rigid boundaries vs Healthy Boundaries 24:58 We invite you to take some space to reflect on this topic. 26:00 Join our facebook group and subscribe to the Functional Spirituality podcast.   Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up:  A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.
