If you are interested in exploring, or are already developing a 'Centering Prayer' practice and would like to read more about it, then this is the book I would most recommend. You can read more about it here. Although there are a variety of others, including Thomas Keating's Open Mind, Open Heart: The Contemplative Dimension of the Gospel (Continuum, 1995), which is the seminal text on this spiritual discipline of silence-based prayer (see here), Bourgeault's book is easier to follow, gives a wider context for the practice and is more up-to date.
