Creating Healthy Boundaries: You, your Family and Mother Earth

Jewel of the Month: Larimar

Larimar is a light blue form of pectolite and was recently discovered (within the last ten years) in the Dominican Republic. Larimar stimulates the heart (4th) chakra as well as the throat (5th), the third-eye (6th) chakra, and the crown (7th) chakra. It stimulates us to take proper control of our lives, dissolving sacrificial behaviors and philosophies that lead to suffering. It bestows inner peace as it facilitates inner wisdom and outward manifestation. Larimar is known as a “stone for Earth healing” and emits energy of peace, healing and love.

Jewels of Life:

It is important that we set healthy boundaries in our lives. When healthy boundaries are missing, we set ourselves up to feel stepped on, used, misunderstood and abused. It is critical to understand where you may have weak boundaries and work to strengthen them. Do you have healthy boundaries in place to help you along in life? Do you need to strengthen your boundaries within the work environment with co-workers, bosses, or clients? How are your boundaries at home? Do you need to strengthen boundaries with your partner, your children, your parents, family or friends? When we have weak boundaries it can leave us feeling victimized. With healthy boundaries we feel much more empowered in our lives. Become consciously aware of the boundaries that need to be strengthened and take steps to make the necessary changes. Sometimes we can take a stand for ourselves while at other times we need smaller steps to make changes to strengthen our boundaries due to the ecology of the particular situation. Be aware of the best way for you to improve your boundaries. As we celebrate Earth Day this week, we also need to be conscious of how we protect the boundaries of Mother Earth. Are you doing your share to protect her and the precious resources that she provides? How would you answer these questions? Do you recycle? Do you buy products made from post-consumer products? Do you buy organic products? Do you use public transportation? Do you drive a vehicle that gets good gas mileage? Is most of your driving done as a single occupant in your vehicle? Be sure to do whatever you can to protect Earth and participate in the healing of the planet.

Never be afraid to ask a question, especially of yourself. Discovery is the mission of life. –Brian Kates
