Step 2:

to reexperience the feeling. This could be a feeling of appreciation or care toward a special person, a pet, a place you enjoy, or an activity that was fun. Allow yourself to really' feel ' this good feeling of appreciation or care. If you can't feel anything, it's okay, just try to find a sincere attitude of appreciation or care.

This is a great exercise to do just before ( or even while ) falling asleep. You will be activating good heart energy and this will set a positive 'tone' for your night's rest. Having said that it is a good exercise to do at any time. I discovered this exercise a few years ago just after I had broken two fingers, I found it really helpful to practice it while waiting for doctors appointments, and while travelling by train to the city. It has remained a firm favourite ever since.
