Tell two people about someone you love, letting yourself feel it as you speak; hear what it did to them; then speak about why you love yourself with the same care and feeling, and hear that back too. An hour for three people. The manual keeps it as one of its absolute favourites for how full of love it leaves everyone — and for what it shows about which of the two is harder.
