I was in church this past sunday, and in the sermon the priest talked about different levels of prayer.
First level is the loud or vocal prayer
This is the common way of prayer among people generally, where you get to hear people speak or shout out to the lord
Next is Meditation
In this form we meditate on what would have been spoken out, feeling a deeper connection between you and your God. This form of prayer doesn't need a noisy environment so as not to be distracted and is a very effective way of praying.
Then we have contemplative prayer
Here, you aren't asking for anything, just in a very serene place comfortable and imagining the full glory of God and his kingdom. It takes time to clear one's thoughts for this but once achieved its a wonderful feeling.
How do you pray???
