Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you're listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Prayer is a form of meditation, isn't it? It's laws of attraction: whatever you put out into the universe is what it receives. It's just kind of putting your thoughts out into the universe.
Meditation is to get insight, to get understanding and compassion, and when you have them, you are compelled to act.
I don't meditate before I play or compose, but I see playing and composing as meditative acts.
Prayer is a thought, a belief, a feeling, arising within the mind of the one praying.
Meditation is the life of the soul: Action, the soul of meditation; and honor the reward of action.
Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of our spirit.
Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.
When you meditate or pray... both are forms of meditation... you give up control and find the answer and you open yourself to receive God's gift, the universal force, or whatever that is.
Prayer is more than meditation. In meditation the source of strength is one's self. When one prays he goes to a source of strength greater than his own.
To me, meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind.
