Your question “How ‘Energetic Boundaries’ present themselves” is a good one. It’s kind of tough to describe since we’re talking about subtle stuff here, but here’s a few thoughts to keep in mind.

For yourself – if you experience feeling a sense of “dis-empowerment” related to thoughts about your business, something you’re working on, interactions with a colleague, or an aspect of yourself that brings you down, it COULD relate to an energetic boundary issue (or something else, like a unconscious limiting belief that is coming up for you to look at). By “dis-empowerment”, I mean do you feel stress, sadness, shame, fear, anxiety, anything that doesn’t feel “empowered” or holds you back from being self-actualized?

An example of this might be every time you connect with a colleague who you notice carries a pervasive negative outlook on their job, the company you work for, and you tend to feel “down” or drained after meetings together. It could be that you don’t have EBs with them or their state of negativity. In this case, having optimal EBs with that person might enable you to be around them without being impacted by their mood in the same way.

I’m guessing “So, what can I do about it?” is the next logical question right? Along those lines, check out the Oregon Mediation Association article for tips on things you can try to help maintain your EBs, especially while under stress.
