How often do you agree to something because you can’t bring yourself to refuse? Are you overwhelmed at the end of the day because you just took on too much? Do you give more than you receive in your relationships? Does it feel like other people have more of a say in your life and the use of your time than you do? Are you afraid if you say no, you’ll be viewed as selfish?
Then there’s a pretty good likelihood that unclear boundaries are the problem. Without the protection of firm, clear and compassionate boundaries, you are at the mercy of others— whether they intentionally bully you or not. Whether it’s societal pressure, a dominating spouse or partner, or the way you were raised, the effect of not having strong boundaries spills over into every aspect of life—not just your relationships.
Unclear boundaries impact your health, your work life, your vitality, your self-respect, your finances, all your relationships -- with your child and your parents, your partner, your friends and colleagues – and dozens of other ways you might never fathom. Unclear boundaries leave you vulnerable to be manipulated easily and often.
But salvation is at hand. Boundary expert Pamela Miles is revealing her 7 Tips to Create Blessed Boundaries, a brief selection from her life-changing Blessed Boundaries three-week interactive online program that features “Pamela’s Pearls,” nuggets from her 40+ years as a professional leader in health, wellness, self-care, meditation and other spiritual practice. Blessed Boundaries teaches people in a gentle and loving way how to hold their own in the world with skill, grace and compassion. And invites participants to be supported by a private online community among people who are also on the path to Boundary Recovery.
When Pamela Miles was eleven, she asked her mother for a book about yoga. When she opened the book, the direction of her life shifted, imperceptibly and irrevocably. It set her on a life-long path to find methods of natural healing for herself and other. Her pursuits took her from yoga to vegetarianism, to self-hypnosis to botanicals to meditation and even to two years in an Indian monastery.
Soon people began to flock to her for ways to feel better and be happier, using the simple shifts she offered, impacting them spiritually, mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically. Her career unfolded from there, as she assumed a leadership role in the introduction of meditation to her generation of Americans and then became one of the leading pioneers in Reiki, bringing that energy healing practice to the mainstream medical community. She has collaborated with prestigious healthcare institutions on care, education and research, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), medical schools (Harvard, Yale, Einstein) and hospitals (New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center, Beth Israel Medical Center, St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).
Over the years she has been published in peer-reviewed medical journals, developed the first Reiki program in a hospital infectious disease clinic, collaborated on medical research, presented at major academic medical centers, wrote an award-winning book REIKI: A Comprehensive Guide (Tarcher/Penguin) and developed a highly regarded meditation audio, along with master bansuri flutist Steve Gorn.
Pamela has been interviewed by a wide range of media, including CNN, NBC, FOX, Allure, US News and World Report and Dr. Oz.
In her ongoing private practice--both virtually and in person on New York’s Upper West Side--Pamela realized that one of the major obstacles to personal success and peace of mind is her clients’ failure to set appropriate boundaries. Thus was born her quest to find a methodology to help people set Blessed Boundaries with grace, skill and compassion. Her program has been changing lives and winning accolades.
