How the I Ching Approaches This
The I Ching views boundaries not as barriers but as the definition of space that allows two people to coexist with respect and autonomy. Healthy boundaries protect the relationship by ensuring that each person's needs are honored; walls destroy it by preventing genuine connection. The Oracle helps you see whether the boundaries you need are about protecting your well-being or about controlling the other person, and how to communicate them with both firmness and love.
