Essentially prayer is simply talking with our Creator who is also the Heavenly Father of all those who belong to the LORD Jesus Christ. Having fellowship and communing with our GOD is a delight to Him, and He yearns to have us so engaged in such loving interaction.
Because we know that praying to the LORD pleases Him, we might be overzealous in embracing anything that is called 'prayer' and that may well be why some have adopted methods and practices that are not biblical.
What I'm referring to 'contemplative prayer/spirituality'. While it sounds nice, when one gets to the heart of this matter, its very essence is not Christian at all, much less biblical in its content; rather it's a blending of Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu beliefs all rolled into one, and then given a spin by the "ancient church fathers" of the Catholic church.
