So I have been taking this course, Soul Restoration, that I found through a friend in Iowa. It has been amazingly life changing and has helped me see even more patterning that I need to change. It really is amazing how many lessons I have learned since we moved to Florida.
The first and best lesson I learned from this course was about boundaries. Setting them, honoring them, not allowing people to violate them, walk all over them, or destroy them. What I didn't realize is that I have had permeable boundaries for as long as I have been living. When you are young and your "no" statements are over-ridden, either by words or by force, you don't learn how to develop and keep boundaries. Then when you get a bit older and have the language to say that you are being hurt and would appreciate it if the person would stop, and the person says that you are "too sensitive", that is a violation of your boundaries. If you don't stand up for yourself again, the person thinks that it is ok to continue being abusive and will walk all over your boundaries as long as you let them do it.
