How Much Daily Silent Prayer Do We Need?

Is it better to be anchored in one tradition, or to resist affiliation with any one tradition, in the interest of maintaining an openness to God's wisdom and guidance wherever it may arise? <a href=/unknowing/what-is-the-best-church-for-christian-mysticism-and-contemplation/>Read More »</a>

What is the Best Method for Silent Prayer?

What advice would you have for someone who who wants to reboot their contemplative prayer practice?
