Richard Foster
"Christians ... have developed two fundamental expressions of Unceasing Prayer. The first … is usually called aspiratory prayer or breath prayer. The most famous of the breath prayers is the Jesus Prayer. It is also possible to discover your own individual breath prayer.... Begin praying your breath prayer as often as possible."

Philip Yancey
"I myself have been surprised at what I can get away with.

Ruth Haley Barton
"Ask for a simple prayer to express your willingness to meet God in the silence ... a simple statement ... such as "Here I am." ... Help yourself return to your original intent by repeating the prayer that you have chosen."

Dan Kimball
"The labyrinth is a maze-like path similar to those designed into the floors of European cathedrals during the Middle Ages. Christians of that time would walk the labyrinth to aid their contemplative prayer and reflection. The labyrinths fell into disuse, and most were eventually forgotten or destroyed. At the National Pastors Conference in San Diego, however, we found the labyrinth was back and given an update."

Labyrinth "This unique, one-hour, guided prayer walk will take you on a reflective journey to the holy space at the labyrinth's center, bringing you to utter stillness in the presence of God."

Contemplative Morning Prayer Exercises "Start your morning by creating a space to listen to God through classic prayer and meditation practices from the Christian tradition"
