Jon and Mick, thank you for such thoughtful replies. The revelation that it took 12 months for one of you to be at ease with the compassion meditation is encouraging, in a strange way. And I can see that unlearning the conditioning could take a very long time, particularly if it began in childhood. Many thanks indeed.
