When dealing with loving-kindness one has to have an open mind and an open heart mixed in with some imagination. The imagination part is important because we are dealing with unlimited space and time. In this second part of loving-kindness one must really, really have all three and not let negative emotions take over.
Think of someone you really don't like. Envision what they look like, what they might be wearing and doing right now. Allow the loving kindness to shine down on them. Be content and watch them receive the love and the kindness coming from you.
Now let the light get larger and completely envelop the entire world, giving everyone and everything that powerful light of loving-kindness. By being peaceful, loving and kind to all beings you are giving loving-kindness to yourself as well. You may feel like you are lighter and even glowing with internal light.
