When people try centering prayer for the first time, I encourage them to simply pray daily as long as they can for thirty consecutive days, and mark it on the calendar.
Sits will be five minutes some days and others ten.
The point is to simply begin where you are and do as much as you can.
Silence is hard to get used to.
Give yourself time.
As our bodies need rest, our minds need solitude and stillness.
Our minds need to relax, to drop into our hearts and rest with God who is within.
It is a pilgrimage from our mind to heart.
