Create Healthy Boundaries

Affirmations for

Developing Your Inner Senses

and Managing Your Abilities

by

Karen Floyd

One of my favorite hours during the week is

my Friday morning Psychic Readings Show.

So many of my listeners have called in with

questions and topics that inspire REAL sharing and

provide me with the opportunity to take you

deeper on your path as a Spiritual Being having a

human experience!

Today’s Show was no exception.

Several affirmations were shared during the

show as guidance for callers and I’d like to

expand on one here.

Create Healthy Boundaries

But First some groundwork needs to be laid:

We are all Spiritual Beings and as Spiritual Beings

we have 5 inner senses that parallel our 5 physical

senses of taste, touch, hearing, seeing, and smell.

These inner senses work just like the outer ones

but are metaphysical, beyond the physical, superior

to the physical in that they are keener and do not rely

on physical information to be experienced.

The inner senses can tell us what our outer senses

cannot.

Everyone is born with the all of these senses and

some will develop the ability to tune their awareness

to them while some are born already aware.

It is on everyone’s path to become fully aware of

all that they are capable of so that they can

actualize their fullest expression of their

Divine Nature.

Our Divine Nature is to be made in the image

and likeness of the Creator.  For the purpose

of the information I want to share here I will

not explain that statement now.  Suffice it to say

that as Spiritual Beings we have much more

power than we are aware of and to grow means

to become Self-Aware.

Our inner senses are the tools that we use to

become more aware of our our Divine Nature.

Each person is unique in that they will develop this

awareness in different ways and the pacing of their

growth varies widely usually dependent on their

level of willingness to trust and let go of what they

feel they know, and their level of desire to grow.

OK  that said, what does Creating Healthy Boundaries

have to do with becoming aware of who we are?

Even though we are already all that we will ever

become, like the oak tree existing within the seed,

in time and space we deal with potential because

we experience ourselves as if we are becoming

divine/ whole/complete.

While becoming is an illusion in the realm of Spirit

it is very much the perception and the

case within the physical world, that there is a process

which we are going through and a sense of a destination

that we have not yet reached when we contemplate

what we have been told about ourselves by great

teachers like Buddha and Jesus who taught

the truth of who we ARE.

So it is in that experience of becoming that

boundaries have their place.

It is easy to perceive the illusion of

not being Divine as we experience

ourselves evolving and changing.

It is that illusion that closes our consciousness off

to knowing we are safe and do not need to control

or defend ourselves.

When our perception is limited  we feel danger the ego,

that is the mask we wear in the physical world,

begins to defend and protect us in our sense of

separateness and perceived smallness.

We are not the ego.

When we know this we begin to drop the

defenses and fear that come from feeling small.

Until we know we are not the ego boundaries

are a healthy substitute for the walls and defenses the

ego constructs to stay in it’s illusion of control

motivated by fear.

Healthy Boundaries accomplish several things for us.

First they provide some limits that create a sense of

containment an inside and an outside, a me and a them,

so we can feel we have a choice about how much or how little

we want to share, how close we want to be with others or

how close we allow them to be with us, and  what behaviours

are acceptable and not acceptable for us.

Boundaries are kind of like the game rules on the

underside of the box that tell us how to play the game

and when someone or something is ‘off’ or out of order.

This sense of structure  becomes

our ‘place’ and takes some of the pressure off of the ego to make

endless decisions again and again of what is and isn’t ok.

Another benefit to having healthy boundaries is that we

actually feel more freedom to explore and experience

life more fully because we know we can trust the decisions

we made for ourselves by setting boundaries.

Without healthy boundaries you may never feel safe enough to

venture outside of your patterns and adopted beliefs.  You may

remain trapped inside certain that the Universe is not a friendly

place that is here to support you in creating your desires.

Are boundaries necessary once you begin

to identify with your Divine Nature?

Once we become much more identified with our Greatness

and much less identified with our smallness  I think

boundaries cease to exist because from that source point

we see that separation is an illusion revealing boundaries as a

construction, a compensation which was important until now

to feel safe but they are not a reality.

Since many are not yet embracing the reality of their

Greatness I say Healthy Boundaries are some of the

building blocks to realizing the truth of who you are!

Create away and when the time comes to take yourself

up a notch so to speak on the evolving consciousness

proverbial ladder let go of the boundaries that feel limiting

and create some new ones that support you in exploring

Your Universe~

Namaste’
