Centering Prayer, by Gabriel

Centering prayer is prayer in which you do nothing, not even think.  You have to make your mind blank, and have no thoughts at all.  This prayer requires lots of concentration and practice.  It is used in order to relieve stress, and for whatever reason it is you are praying for.  In my opinion this prayer is really hard to do because there is never really a time when I am doing nothing, not even thinking.  Although, I think this type of prayer is truly great and relaxing once achieved because it is a time when you truly are doing nothing, so your body rests.  This does not even happen during sleep because during sleep you are dreaming, while in centering prayer you are doing nothing.
