Boundary Felt

Your Boundary Is Felt Before It's Heard

November 03, 20252 min read

Your energy sets the boundary long before your words do.

Ever walk into a room and instantly feel the tension… or the joy? Maybe you can tell someone’s upset before they even say a word. That’s not magic—it’s energy. And whether you’re into chakras, science, or “I just know when something feels off,” you already experience it every day.

Let’s talk about something that sounds a little woo but is actually wildly practical: energetic boundaries. Stay with me—no sage bundles required. Unless you like sage. Then sage away.

Here’s the deal: you have an energy field that extends about six to ten feet around you. Think of it like your personal Wi-Fi signal. You’re constantly receiving and transmitting energy—whether you know it or not.

You’ve already felt it in everyday life:

  • A friend shares something heartbreaking and later you feel heavy and exhausted.

  • Your boss walks into the room in full meltdown mode and your stomach tightens.

  • Someone calls with fantastic news and suddenly you’re grinning like an idiot—with zero explanation to the people around you.

That’s you receiving other people’s energy. Totally normal. Nothing “wrong” with you. Awareness is the goal—not judgment.

But here’s the part most people miss:

You’re also transmitting energy all the time.

And if you have an area where your boundaries feel kind of… wobbly… guess what? You’re sending out a message about that—loud and clear.

Maybe you’re broadcasting guilt.
Or fear.
Or “I don’t want to upset anyone.”
Or “please don’t be mad at me.”
Or my personal favorite: overfunctioning because otherwise who will do it?

None of this makes you bad or broken—it just means other people can feel the invisible holes in your boundary. And some people (consciously or not) will walk right through them.

A simple example you’ve definitely seen:

Two parents. Same grocery store checkout line.

Parent A is exhausted. Their child is whining for candy. You can feel they’re going to cave—the kid feels it too.

Parent B gives that calm, steady “don’t even try it” look. One word. Instant quiet. No drama, no threats. Just clear energy.

That’s the power of an energetic boundary.

You don’t have to shout, justify, or overgive. When your energy is grounded and aligned, people feel it. Your presence says everything your words don’t have to.


So this week, start noticing what you’re broadcasting.

Is your signal calm and clear—or full of static?

How do you feel around certain people or places? That’s your energy field giving you useful feedback.

Remember: no judgment, just awareness. That’s where real change begins.

Until next time, stay grounded and shine bright. 💫
