In today's busy world, supporting and feeding a healthy friendship is not always as easy as it sounds, but it is important that you take the time to make friends, to keep friends, and to be a good friend. As the Beatles song goes, we all get by with a little help from our friends, and that could not be truer! We all need help sometimes and other times, we are needed to help others. Knowing how to be a good friend is the best way to keep a good friend!

Here are some ways you can give and receive the gift of true friendship and nurture your higher self:

• Make the time

We are all busy and have a gazillion things on our 'to do' plate. It's not quantity of friends, but quality that defines true friendship, so instead of having two seconds for thirty "casual" friends, why not invest real time with a select group of close friends who are willing to carve out the time for you too? Plan activities in advance and when you really don't have the time, consider sending a quick email or text to let your friend know you are thinking of them. You will find when you are on the receiving end of this gesture, it can go a long way in brightening your stressful day!

• Don't keep score.

True friendship is a two-way street. Don't be a taker and only call your friend for favors – that kind of behavior will lead to an abusive relationship. Be a giver and do favors for your friends before they even think to ask. Giving truly does feel so much better than receiving. Your soul and higher self will thank you for it.

Master Healer Deborah King is The New York Times best-selling author of Be Your Own Shaman, which takes the reader on a one-of-a-kind journey into the powerful esoteric world of healing.

Deborah was a successful attorney in her 20s when a diagnosis of cancer sent her on a search for truth that radically changed her life. Before undergoing invasive surgery, she turned to alternative medicine and experienced an amazing remission at the hands of a healer. Along the way, she conquered the alcohol and drug addictions she had used to bury an abusive childhood. Leaving the corporate arena for the tantalizing world of healers, sages, and shamans, Deborah studied ancient and modern healing systems, traveling far and wide to meet with extraordinary practitioners of energy medicine.

Her first book, the national bestseller Truth Heals: What You Hide Can Hurt You, explores the powerful relationship between the suppression of painful emotions and their impact on our health and happiness.

Deborah travels worldwide, helping thousands of people transform their lives through her experiential workshops. She hosts a popular weekly Hay House radio show and is featured regularly in broadcast, online, and print media, making frequent appearances on national TV.
