I've been 'purring' for many years, and have various versions of the exercise on my website. Check:
http://www.raysender.com/skypointing.html
Also: http://www.raysender.com/snore.html
and
http://www.raysender.com/snarl.html
Ten good purrs - or 'snarls' if you hold the mouth in a smile, which is what I prefer, and I begin to feel my fingers and toe tingle. This I take as a signal that I have dissolved any lateral tensions in my body of the sort that Wilhelm Reich named 'armoring'. Armoring tension is what blocks the free flow of energy - chi - orgone - prana - whatever - throughout the body. I also find that once I finish the purring session, my voice 'echoes' all the way out to my extremeties, as if I have a nice echo chamber inside! This state of what I call Maximum Resonance I find extremely relaxing, and I try to cultivate it all day long.
I also practice "nursing on the uvula," something I have observed that babies do I their sleep. I think cats do this also, sometimes with their tongues sticking out - very cute! The uvula nursing exercise is marvelous done first thing upon awakening. For a somewhat lengthy overview, see: http://www.raysender.com/smile.html
