For years, I mistook sensing and soothing other people’s discomfort for love. Through meditation, yoga, self-study, and learning to stay with discomfort, I began to understand boundaries as a sacred practice, one that helps us discern what is ours to tend while remaining connected to ourselves and allowing others their own path.

Our bodies remember the stories that shaped us. This reflection explores how yoga gently teaches us to remain open amidst fear, old patterns, and life's inevitable challenges, inviting us into a deeper relationship with ourselves, with life, and with God.
