Beginning prayer, for a Christian is meditation. Please note that Christian meditation has absolutely NOTHING in common with Eastern meditation - the fact that the two bear the same name is an unhappy happenstance. If you are interested in beginning Christian prayer, I would get Thomas Dubay's book, S.M. "Prayer Primer". I teach beginning prayer in my parish, and this is the book that I use for that. Fr. Dubay is excellent, as he bases his teaching on the three most excellent sources of prayer: The Bible, St. Teresa of Avila, and St. John of the Cross.
I believe that the most important thing to start out with is that fact that prayer is a two way street. If you are not being silent and LISTENING to God, you are not praying. An excellent way to listen to God is through the Scriptures as in them God is speaking directly. Beginning prayer with the Scriptures is known as Lectio Divina, an art taught by St. Benedict in the 5th or 6th century A.D., it is explained here: http://www.thereligionteacher.com/lectio-divina-steps/.
