Practical Tools and Embodied Practices for Healthy Boundaries
Boundaries are not just a mental concept—they’re felt in the body. At Slow Medicine Company, we approach boundaries holistically, using somatic practices, talk therapy, breathwork, and yoga to help you honour your needs and protect your emotional energy.
Embodied Practices for Strengthening Your Inner Space
Recognizing the Physical Signs of Boundary Violations Your body often signals when a boundary is crossed—tightness in the chest, knots in the stomach, or tension in the shoulders. Tuning into these sensations can help you identify and uphold your limits.
Breathwork for Anxiety and Grounding Navigating tough conversations? Slow, intentional breathing can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and help you stay present. Techniques like box breathing and vagus nerve stimulation are practical tools for staying grounded during challenging moments.
Yoga for Reclaiming Emotional Space Restorative yoga and guided meditation are powerful tools for resetting after draining interactions. These practices can help you regain emotional clarity and reconnect with yourself. Try our weekly STILL classes
Real-Life Tools for Protecting Your Energy
Use "I" statements when expressing your needs (e.g., "I need some quiet time right now").
Set aside regular self-care time to recharge.
Practice saying no to others as a way of saying yes to yourself.
