Boundary (energy) management for healthy relationships

Boundaries are visualised, invisible personal space that we create for ourself, with awareness where our personal space ends and another person’s begins. They help us feel safe and define our true sense of self and what we are in the world. The only true parameter of setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is – How We Feel.

Teaching from Khalil Gibran on boundaries in intimate relationships:

“Love one another, but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be moving sea between the shores of our souls

Fill each other’s cup but drink not from the same cup

Give one another your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping,

For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.

And stand together yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the Oak tree and Cypress grow not in each other’s shadow”.
