Befriending, becoming a loving, understanding, and compassionate friend to yourself, is a powerful spiritual practice. 

Befriending begins with holding an intention to live more kindly and gently with yourself. Are you able to do that? 
Though intention and an attitude of loving-kindness towards yourself may not be enough. Befriending must be personified by acts of loving-kindness, tangible choices made on a moment-to-moment basis to do the kindest thing for you. Doing so is not a selfish act as some would say, but a self-aware one.

Learning to befriend myself has been a lifelong journey. It is the subject of my book, Living Gently with Myself, which you can learn more about here. 

Within each of us are the answers to our deepest questions. We have been conditioned to believe that the answers to life's dilemmas are "out there somewhere" and we must search to find them. Nothing could be further from the truth.​

The deepest wisdom lies within you and silence is the only way to access the answers you desire. By sinking into silence, you will uncover more insights than you ever dreamed possible. Silence is your soul's companion.
