Reflection; how do you do it?

I've read quite a bit of counsel in the Daoist canon, particularly in Neidan texts regarding the necessity for reflection, under many names. Some talk about 'returning the light' or heart-mirroring, but I see very little practical advice, other than that one aught to do it.

So my question is, how do *you* engage in reflection? Whether that be devoting time to close your eyes and meditate on the days events, or by doing gratitude or conventional journalling.

I've also heard say that some neidan traditions treat middle dantian work as a form of reflection, if anyone has some insight on that, I'd be very interested to hear it.
