Blue Meadow - Persephone's Boundaries

 Now that Persephone is ready to connect with people, she needs some boundaries. 

Persephone will use the boundaries here in the Blue Meadow, and instead of ignoring Artemis's struggles in the Yellow Meadow, Persephone will take them to Artemis when she calls so they can work together in both the yellow and blue meadows.

This is a work in progress, as always, but here is what I have come up with so far, all of which ultimately affects her connections with others, even the boundaries that have lots of internal work. Most of them have the same format:

1. Nyx and Hemara help Persephone with fears of Pandeia (cPTSD).

2. Identify the problem and which boundary is needed - Persephone, as her more confident Queen persona, does this step.

3. Reframe my thinking / positive self-talk - Artemis and her dogs come to help Persephone manage the emotions.

4. Clarify the situation and the boundary, convey that the limit is reached and what I need, do the work - Athena and Inyx share this step.

5. Hold the boundary - Pallas.

6. Recover - the 3 charities and their Mom from Step 6 of the Apology Bridge.

Athena and Pallas were raised together as warriors by Pallas's father Triton, son of Poseidon. Athena is the sister of Persephone, and they often spent time together. She is the goddess of war so she is my choice for using strategies and negotiating and keeping a level head during conversations. Pallas is fierce and will hold the boundary when they experience push-back.

Inyx is an oread, a mountain nymph. 'Iynx' means 'that which attracts the spirit to desire and love'. She invented a magical love-charm known as the iynx--a spinning wheel with a wryneck bird attached. The Wryneck is a migratory bird, traveling long distances to reach its breeding grounds. It navigates using a combination of celestial cues, such as the position of the sun and stars, and landmarks on the ground. This remarkable ability to navigate across vast distances will be needed as Inyx helps Athen navigate conversations so that love is the goal, not defeating the other person and making them do what you want.
