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"

ABOUT SPEAKER Bhante Bodhidhaja, born in Switzerland as Nicolas Vrticka was introduced to Buddhism at an early age by a neighbour. After graduation Nicolas worked as a primary school teacher and chose social work as an alternative for compulsory military training in Switzerland.
At the age of 21, while on a visit to India in 2003 Nicolas took on a temporary ordination under the late Acharya Buddharakhita who gave him the monastic name Bodhidhaja and since kept the same name in memory of his Teacher.
From late 2006 Nicolas spent time living, practicing and serving as a lay person in different Monastic communities around the world. Upon returning to Perth BSWA in 2010 became an Anagarika followed by being a novice and higher ordination in 2012 under Ajahn Brahm.
Bhante Bodhidhaja is part of the BSWA Monastic Community.
