We now understand the concept of boundaries from Part 1, and in Part 2, we completed a meditation to establish firm boundaries. Part 3 looked at how our emotions can indicate boundary violations. Today, we will explore examples of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual boundary violations.

Physical Boundary Violation

• Violent action against another person
• Trespassing
• Stealing material goods or time
• Harming another’s physical body or wellbeing

Emotional Boundary Violation

• Emotional vampirism
• Emotional incest
• Neglect through emotional distance
• Societal messages that generate fear or hatred
• Empathically absorbing another’s emotional energy
• Manipulating another’s feelings

Mental Boundary Violation

• Idea, belief, or way of thinking forced onto another
• Unduly criticizing another’s ideas or denying them the right to hold their own opinion
• Telepathic snooping

Spiritual Boundary Violation

• Dictating what to believe or denying another’s right to their own spiritual path
• Condemning spiritual approaches

This post is part 4 in a multi-part series on boundaries and healing. The final post will look at how to deal with boundary violation, including psychic attack.
