keep what is worth keeping, and then,
with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

to each other, shoulder-width apart.

and my palms parallel to each other - about four inches apart.

Later, I visualize the energy or "Qi" between my palms.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, - I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning

There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.
