In general, a good boundary is not air-tight and rigid. Like skin, a boundary should create separation and also allow some movement across it. Boundaries allow us to be both separate individuals as well being part of a partnership or group.

It is not necessary that everyone has the same set of boundaries. Boundaries range widely from that of our skin to, for example, the rules and procedures which govern a country. However, no human grows and develops without boundaries at all.

The capacity created by Wood is sometimes to accept existing rules and boundaries and sometimes to re-negotiate or develop new ones. This allows us to be appropriately assertive and to express ourselves in the external world.

If we have constitutionally imbalanced Wood we may be predisposed to more than our usual share of difficulties to do with rules, structures and boundaries. A healthy Wood Element will allow us to develop rules, structures and boundaries which encourage our growth and development.
