Contemplative prayer practices

Contemplative prayer is a form of silent or meditative prayer where individuals seek to connect deeply with the divine or their inner selves. It often involves being still and silent, allowing thoughts to settle, and focusing on God’s presence or a specific sacred word or phrase. This practice encourages introspection and a heightened awareness of spiritual feelings rather than verbal communication. It is often used in various religious traditions, including Christianity, to foster a sense of peace, deepen faith, and cultivate a more profound personal relationship with spirituality.
