Compassionate Boundaries: How Mindfulness Helps You Say “No” with Kindness and Clarity

In this episode of Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo, Sean explores how mindfulness can transform the way we set and communicate boundaries. Saying “no” doesn’t have to come from guilt or fear—it can arise from awareness, care, and self-respect. Sean guides listeners through a 10-minute meditation to sense the body’s inner “yes” and “no,” offering practical scripts for real-life situations and trauma-sensitive tips for mindfulness teachers, therapists, and coaches. Listeners will learn how to recognize their limits, express needs with compassion, and maintain relationships rooted in authenticity and presence. Tune in to experience how mindful boundaries can bring more balance, integrity, and peace into your daily life. https://mindfulnessexercises.com/ Timestamps: 00:00 – The moment between yes and no 00:25 – Welcome and introduction to today’s theme 01:10 – Why mindful boundaries matter 02:25 – What compassionate boundaries really are 07:00 – Guided meditation: Feeling your body’s “yes” and “no” 17:00 – Practical boundary scripts for real-world situations 21:45 – Mindfulness teaching tips for therapists, coaches, and helpers 25:30 – Weekly practice for integrating compassionate boundaries 27:15 – Closing reflections and invitation to deepen your mindfulness journey Keywords: mindful boundaries, compassionate boundaries, mindfulness podcast, mindfulness meditation, saying no with kindness, self-care mindfulness, mindful communication, emotional boundaries, Sean Fargo podcast, mindfulness teacher training, meditation for boundaries, mindfulness for therapists, mindful self-awareness, Mindfulness Exercises with Sean Fargo Learn more about your ad choices.
