Lately, I've been thinking of compassion and how best to exercise it. I have my ideas, which I try to carry out. I took a lot of psych in college, I've read a lot of books, but sometimes when it comes right down to it, I wonder, "How/What are the best way(s)to be compassionate?"

I realize it depends on the person, the situation, one's relationship with that person etc. I know it's all about heart.

So I'd like your opinions. I'd like to know what works for you when you are the recipient of compassion and when you are the giver. I'd like to learn as much as I can about this. Would you share your skills with me?

Thanks,
Vi
