Why are rules, structures and boundaries important? They allow us to manifest our ‘Hun’ or overall purpose. They give us a sense of order in our lives. They allow us to unfold our day-to-day and longer-term plans. Without appropriate rules, structure and boundaries our life is not workable.

When a child is born, there are few understood boundaries. If we have watched a young baby who notices its hand in front of its face without knowing whose hand it is, then we can understand that it takes time to develop boundaries.

At a very early age we discover different parts of our body. Later on we find out that our skin is the boundary between the inside and outside world. We also discover that our mothers or primary carers are different from us — we cannot control them in the way we seem to control ourselves.

Later we discover other differences — between others’ toys and my toys, work time and play time, bed room and living room, intimate relationships and professional ones — and thus we discover various social boundaries. The boundaries produce structure and regulate our lives.
