Reimagining Boundaries as Inner Truth and Connection

Boundaries aren't about building walls. They arise when we acknowledge our deeper truths, including our needs, values, and gifts. Once we become aware of what supports our well-being, we can communicate and act from that truth in service of genuine connection.

What People Are Saying

Real experiences from our community

I would give this more than five stars. I'm giving it 100 stars. I could tap the ⭐️ 100 times. Picture in your mind. This is a very unique practice. It's so close to somatic modalities - sound healing, color therapy… I am very sure about this. Your approach is always grounded in authentically resonating affirmations. Not going beyond my edge, not over-reaching. 🌟x100

this was a wonderful talk. looking at imperfection as sacred gives it a whole new meaning for me. and to run simply for the joy of running (or live simply for the joy of living) is a beautiful approach to life especially now that i'm older and newly widowed 💔♥️

I've listened to hundreds of meditations on Insight Timer, and Thomas's work stands out for its authenticity and depth. The "Transform Negative Thoughts" session helped me through a particularly difficult period. Grateful for his contribution to the community.

Well done!! A great one for a morning walk or meditation/ journaling time! Or even weekly to re-evaluate what small ways I can make my life better, happier. I want to create a journal for myself specifically to do just that. VERY motivating!! Thanks loads!!

Wow I enjoyed this a lot. Funny, I had a poster in my room as a teen that said 'There is no finish line' which I assumed meant ' Just keep going ' You've given this idea a beautiful surrounding with your gift of compassionate expression. 😻 🫶🏼

A friend asked me the other day how drumming is spiritual. If he heard this beautiful, hypnotic track there is no doubt in my mind, he would get it! I love the Tabla. This track is pure magic 🪄🌟 If I could give it ten stars, I would! 🧘‍♀️🪘💞

I loved this! Out of the ordinary. Gave time to think about you answer to each question. Great questions. It's a keeper. I plán to do as you suggested: listen to while doing mindless housework or sit with questions and journal.
