Did quite a bit of it in my younger days (not professionally). That's the "Method" school of acting, and a minority of actors use it (albeit some very, very good ones). The technique is to re-experience emotions they themselves have felt in the past. It's more complicated than it sounds and takes a lot of training. Plus which, it's in the context of portraying a character who is feeling those emotions. It didn't appeal to me at all as an acting technique, so I never studied it or used it. I could certainly *act the part* of a person feeling deep devotion, but it wouldn't be what I would call sincere. And I've have to act the part of a person who was feeling deep devotion but not making a big of show of it for an audience.
