“I recognize what is truly mind and let go of the rest”
Poison Ivy is a controversial plant! If you’ve ever had a rash from this plant, you’ll know what I mean. But when we think about what poison ivy’s role in the forest is, it starts to make sense that this is the supreme plant for boundary work. Many people even give this plant the name “protector ivy”.
As someone who has worked a lot with boundary issues in my life, I’ve found Poison Ivy to be the #1 ally in this type of work. Poison Ivy offers insight into how we respond when our space feels invaded - physically, emotionally, or energetically. This essence can be supportive to those with hypersensitivity, whether it shows up as chronic irritability, emotional overreaction, or subtle overwhelm in the nervous system. It doesn’t suppress these responses, but can help clarify the deeper signal beneath them: Where am I overexposed? Where am I entangled in something that isn’t my business?
I find it to be particularly useful for bringing awareness to habitual energetic enmeshment with the world around us. By sharpening somatic discernment, Poison Ivy can help restore healthy distance without emotional shutdown or putting up of brick walls. This is an essence for those learning to honor their sensitivity without being ruled by it and for anyone ready to rewire the instinct to over-defend into a deeper kind of clarity.
Do you find yourself always aware of how those around you are feeling, often unable to differentiate between your own mood and others? Do you feel exhausted after being in crowds? Do you have a pattern of giving so much to others that your own cup is left empty? Do you believe that you have to protect or isolate yourself with heavy duty brick-wall style boundaries so that you don’t get taken advantage of or overwhelmed? Do you have a hard time saying “no,” even when you’re already over-extended? If so, you likely have some boundary work to do.
Poison ivy is the ultimate ally for boundary work!
