Even before attempting to cultivate positive shared mind states, we are already influencing each other's feelings in the semi-automatic flow of energy and information from one body to another. This flow can also be understood as a kind of contagion of the basic building blocks of our emotions. And when we're feeling good, we can find others around us feeling brighter and better too. Describe a time when someone's good mood put you in a good mood.
[image description: Two hearts with giant smiles face each other. The heart on the left says, "I feel happy," to which the heart on the right responds, "Now I feel happy." Text reads: "positive affect contagion" and below that, "Physiological base emotion that feels good and transfers from one body to another."]
