I've recently discovered silent prayer and meditating on a mantra. Thanks to the world community for Xn Meditation and the two podcasts on meditation. After a year of fumbling about with various forms connecting with God, I am now starting the day with 20 minutes of silent meditation and then 30 minutes reflecting on a passage from a gospel (Luke) the new testament (Romans) and the old testament (Jeremiah) and then some time in pray using the ACTS formula (Adoration - Hey God you're great, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication - asking God for stuff). Apart from needing to wake up at 6:00 (which can be tricky after the occasional day of work which ends at 1 am) the meditation is a great is working well as a way of centring myself before reflecting on the Bible.
