This is beautiful. I especially agree with the advice to set ourselves up as we fall asleep. I find it helpful to become aware of my heart and feel the way it responds when I put my mind to people I love and elements of my life I am grateful for. It literally makes my heart feel warm and alive--activated, I guess--and I usually wake up with the same sensations. I try to sit with them a while before I get out of bed. Over time, I can return easily to that heart practice through the day and it has changed everything for me.
