Channeled Message from the Arcturian Council of 5—Boundaries

Boundaries are important to have with family, friends, and in business. They protect your energy and your overall well-being. They are about what makes you feel safe to share or not share, reserving details for yourself or for a loved one who you really trust. Using your discernment for what is okay to share with other people will be your guide.

For example, you may have purchased a house. It’s up to you to whether or not you want to share how much you paid for it with certain people. You may be the type of person who doesn’t mind sharing that with everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. But you may be the type of person who only wants to share that with your close family members or friends, because you don’t want co-workers or distant family members knowing how much money you spent.

Another good example is time boundaries. How much time do you want to spend with certain people during your free time, whether it’s on the phone or in person? It’s helpful to be clear with a family member or a friend that you only have an hour, or however much time you set aside.

Time is especially important in business. When you have meetings that you are hosting, be sure to communicate how long it will be and keep your word on that meeting’s length so that those you meet with will be able to tend to their other obligations, after the designated end time. It’s all about respecting their time and your own time, and setting the standard so that everyone knows that each meeting you have in the future will only last that particular time period. This way, everyone can rest assured that they will not be going over time.

And another example is the physical touch boundaries you have. Who can hug you or not hug you? You may have grown up in a family in which you were expected to hug all your family members. But ask yourself honestly, “Do I really want to hug all those people? Do I feel safe in hugging them all?” Maybe you don’t want to hug anyone. You can say, “I’m not much of a hugger” and offer some alternative way of greeting you, whether it be a fist bump or just a smile. These family members may be surprised at first, but they will get used to it. What matters is that you feel good and safe with the parameters you set up and communicate.

That is all for now. We are the Arcturian Council of 5 and we have enjoyed connecting with you.
