Inner Guidance Training How to Use Inner Guidance to Make Genuine Friends Introduction We can gauge our true wealth by the number of genuine friends we have in our life. In the company of a real friend, our joys are doubled and our sorrows are halved. If you do not have any genuine friends then you need to ask why this is the case. Do you find it difficult to share your inner world, your dreams, fears, doubts, insecurities, joys, passions and loves with another. If we shy away from sharing ourselves with others then we can feel lonely and isolated. For Example Cecil had found his companionship through the company of his wife Anne for thirty-five years. Then when his wife was having a routine examination the doctor diagnosed inoperable cancer. In a few months Anne was dead. Cecil was devastated and stayed at home on his own for long periods to grieve. Initially Anne's friends called to comfort Cecil, however he talked very little about his troubles and did not ask any of the visitors about their own lives. Slowly the number of visitors reduced to a trickle and Cecil was left alone. An Exercise in Using Inner Guidance to Make Genuine Friends As a first step try and develop existing friendships. Do not wait for others to make the first move. If there is something you feel drawn to say, then say it at an appropriate time and in an appropriate way. Maybe there is some disagreement between you and your friend. Discuss it. Perhaps you are holding bitterness and resentment - if it feels right open up a conversation about this. Maybe you never shared how you felt. Don't be afraid to share your dreams and passions as well. Leave time and space for your friend to share their hurts, passions and dreams, but in their own time and in their own way. If you feel inclined don't be afraid to offer counselling, healing and support to your friend as well as being open to the possibility of receiving counselling, healing and support from them. To deepen friendships we need to give more and share more. Allow the part of you that wants to know and be known to surface. If your existing friends find this new approach uncomfortable, give them time to get used to the new you, and be open to new friendships with people who want to share more deeply. Personal growth workshops, talks and events are good places to meet new people who are open to genuine friendships.
