In both cases, the soul is quieted ... generally requires sitting or kneeling in a quiet place and being as calm and relaxed as possible. ***************************************************
Well both are a form of spirituality I think. You are quite etc..but it is much more than that. You are trying to get to a place in your mind and body where you are at peace with your own self and your situation in life..you are trying to calm your mind and thoughts and let your mind relax and not think of bills, war etc...Prayer I see as more of us asking things whether it is to give us strength or praying for someone else. Great question!

What is meditational prayer?
Different religions understand meditation prayer in different ways. But meditation is silence and contemplation, and prayer is communicating with God. When you put them both together, meditation prayer is communicating with God not through hymns, chanting and actions, it is praying to God in silence. It is introspecting and becoming conscious of God's Divine presence within. God lives in the temple of our heart and meditation prayer is trying to talk to that God that is within, not the God that is in a temple or church or somewhere far away. Therefore meditation prayer is the most effective form of prayer. It is prayer that not only talks to God but also listens to God. Then we feel the presence of the Divine, we become conscious of the Divine within us.
