Protecting Your Energy: How to Set Sacred Boundaries for Self-Love

We often think of self-love as bubble baths or affirmations, but one of the most powerful ways to love ourselves is by setting sacred energetic boundaries. These invisible lines define what we allow in and what we keep out – emotionally, spiritually, and energetically. When your boundaries are strong, your spirit can thrive.

Notice where your energy is leaking

Energy leaks can happen in everyday ways – over-giving to others, staying in draining conversations, or scrolling too long on social media. You might feel tired for no clear reason, or experience mood swings that don’t feel like your own. These are gentle nudges from your soul asking for more protection and discernment. read more

How do I show myself love and compassion?

So often in our world the emphasises is on achievements. Loving yourself can feel like a radical act. Yet, self-love is the cornerstone of mental well-being and personal growth. But,

How do you love yourself?

For me, the key things to embrace are;

  • Acknowledge your worth
  • Practice self-care
  • Set boundaries
  • Embrace imperfection
  • Celebrate your uniqueness.

The very first step in loving yourself is to acknowledge your value. It is not about your successes or failures but more about your inherent worth. Reflect on your strengths and weaknesses no matter how small you feel they may be. Sometimes being that person in the family who notices when someone needs a helping hand has enormous worth. read more

Are you experiencing the full potential of love?

Love comes in many shapes and forms

Whenever anyone speaks of love, they are often referring to romantic love between two people. I believe that love is infinite and can come in many forms. If romantic love was the only form of love, it would be quite exclusive and in limited quantities. It would be a hard world with only this type of love available to give and receive.

Fortunately for us love comes in many forms – parental, family, friends, pets, yourself. All of the important people in your life are available for you to love. In my view love is infinite and the more of it in your life, the richer it will be. Some people believe that you cannot possibly love a step or adopted child as much as a biological child. I disagree with this view. I think the choice is yours to decide how much you open your heart to love a person. read more
