Pray all you like. I tried that. Didn't make a jot of difference! No amount of prayer eases my pain. But I no longer CARE! I am who I AM! All my faults and foibles. I no longer believe that all my problems have been caused by my own failures. The God in Who I trusted din't help me when I was at my lowest. When my son was dying and terrified, the God to who I prayed didn't help. My son died and left me bereft. In my grief, I was utterly alone. I still am. I'm old and in pain; my mobility gets less by the week. but, it's where I AM. I accept it and ask for no Divine assistance. That way lies disappointment.

I don't use Eastern beliefs in my prayer and meditations. I do pray often (everything from Lord please don't let me fall to huge world issues) and I read Scripture and Bible study lessons. That works best for me, but I wouldn't criticize anyone who finds comfort in other beliefs and practices. If it helps start your day off on a positive note it's a good way to begin.

I am Christian and Pray Every Day... The Eastern Phalassaphys I use is for my, Restorative Yoga and Transcendental Meditation... I am Always Up At 4:30am... Don't know why but 4:30am is it... So I have three hours Every Morning for Just Me!!... I use that for my Spiritual Growth. Positive Affirmations and becoming one with my body...7am I must start my breathing exercises before I put on my oxygen, which I do not use while sleeping... Then the World starts showing up...lol... I am so Blessed To Have Another day! But if I am in Crises It all seems to go out the wondow Except My Devotion. Sorry so chatty... Hugs and I hope you have a NO or LOW Pain Day :>)
