520			_aThe practice of Centering Prayer, which Father Keating presented in his bestselling Open Mind, Open Heart, is the beginning of a process of spiritual growth. In this present work he outlines and explains the actual stages of his process. In the course of numerous workshops and retreats Father Keating is asked many questions regarding contemplative practice. How will it affect my life? Where does it lead us spiritually? What obstacles will encounter along the way? Why is it necessary? How does it work? The author says in his introduction This is an attempt to provide a road map, as it were, for the journey that begins when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken, and to point to some of the recognizable landmarks on the journey as well as its ultimate destination... The regular practice of contemplative prayer initiates a healing process that might be called "the divine therapy"... The gift of contemplative prayer is a practical and essential tool for confronting the heart of Christian discipline... while at the same time establishing the climate and necessary dispositions for a deepening relationship to God and leading, if we persevere, to divine union.
