- thumbs are pressed against each other, to concentrate on the place of their contact;
- to feel the pulse and heartbeat passing through the fingers, to feel how each stroke is given first in one hand and then in the other;
- stay in this position for about 5 minutes;
- close your eyes, while putting your open palms on your chest;
- imagine and feel the warmth of your heart, feel it with your hands;
- to imagine in my mind an inner sphere of green color, the energy from which passes through the whole body and comes back, moving, as if along the perimeter of flower petals. Try to keep this state as long as possible;
- as soon as you feel that the inner emerald streams of heart energy seep through your fingers, you should spread your arms wide apart and feel how this energy spreads farther, fills everything around. At the same time, she absorbs absolute love, fills her heart.
