meditative prayer
"Something as simple as Mindfulness Keeps You Emotionally Fit
Psychology today, as well as ancient Hindu and Buddhist doctrines contend that, rather than mastering our emotions, could we learn to live in equilibrium with them, and use the energy that they give us and mindfully work to free ourselves from the layers of unspent emotional energy that cloud our relationships, both with ourselves and with others.
The property of mindfulness or prayer belongs to no particular religion or group of people and neither does the practice of daily praying or meditating belong to only Buddhists. Anyone can sit mindfully under a tree, or kneel on a bench to find a moment to pray for e.g. empathy of others or compassion for ourselves.
More and more scientists are discovering, there are benefits in the practice of contemplative prayer, silence, or use ofmindfulness to create a state of being and not doing to help manage stress and combat minor to severe illnesses. Practice is open to all faiths. It is astounding the rewards people report how prayer and meditation bring balance to mental health and well-being."
