Boundaries & Protection: Honoring Self, Honoring Others

by Pixie Lighthorse

Boundaries & Protection is Pixie Lighthorse’s fourth book. Guided by the graceful, territorial, fiercely protective spirit of Mountain Lion, Lighthorse takes us on a healing journey through our developmental lacks and traumas to find the unique medicine in each situation. Gently but firmly, she also guides us to recognize where we have violated others’ boundaries, to grow our humility, and to make amends.

This is a book for deepening our relationships and intimacies, for developing vitality. Where our boundaries were violated as children, where our caregivers did not adequately protect us, we may unconsciously be living out the same patterns in the present and perpetuating them into the future. This book helps us to see those imprints, and gives us the courage to start to change, to advocate for ourselves, and to mend our fences.

With 52 short, powerful chapters on different themes, Boundaries and Protection is designed for journeying. It is meant to be carried as a companion and returned to at different seasons of life, its many facets revealing themselves in the fullness of time.

I really loved this and the way it wasn’t all about just setting boundaries for yourself but also upholding those boundaries for others. I know I will be using her prompts and revisiting this book throughout the years to ensure my boundaries are maintained.

In a slight surprise, I really enjoyed this book. I somewhat judged it before listening to it, as some self-help books seem predicated on cliches. Not the case here. It had pretty thought provoking passages and practical advice around relationship building and strengthening while learning about yourself. Would recommend

Took me some time to get use to her writing style, but once I realized that this book was best read slowly and deliberately, I really enjoyed it. There’s a lot of gold nuggets of wisdom buried in this book that could’ve been easy to glance over. Will definitely keep close by to reference again.

Starting reading this way too fast. Realized I needed to take is one small chapter at a time each night. Lots of points to consider, which was great. But it wasn’t what I was expecting.
