Influence Boundary

Influence Boundary

In the skin boundary and heat boundary, we explore basic boundaries.

Now we’re going to explore a more nebulous one: influence.

  • Close your eyes
  • Bring to mind someone you know well
  • Now, we explore the boundary between ourselves and them
  • Where is that boundary?
  • Bring to mind a conversation you’ve had with them, where you shared something
  • Did our words influence them at all? Did they change, if only a tiny amount as a result of that conversation?
  • With this in mind, where is the boundary between you both, if you’ve managed to have an influence on them?
  • Is there any sense in which it is possible to assert a clear boundary between the two of you, in terms of influence?
