Guided Meditation - Giving and Receiving Friendship | Ajahn Bodhidhaja | 5 Dec 2022

Here are a few suggestions for "friendship phrases". Please chose a few, which resonate with you and use them for this type of meditation. Or even better, create your own, as they probably will work best for you.

"I see you" "You matter" "I care" "You belong"

"It's okay, I am here" "You are not alone" "I am with you" "I am by your side" "I am here for you" "We are in this together"

"You can count on me" "I have your back" "I stand with you" "I will protect you" "I will keep you safe"

"I have your best interest at heart" "You can trust me" "I trust you" "I support you" "I believe in you"
