What we are really talking about here is the training of attention. There are many ways to do it and they are not owned by any religion, culture, time or place. Science tells us that our capacity to be attentive is like a muscle that can be developed.
That is why I liken it to playing a sport or musical instrument. It takes effort and patience but then it can be used for anything, including seeking God and becoming attentive to God's presence always with us.
Listen, be attentive, be vigilant, be mindful, wait, watch. No religion owns what your mind can do. Our cognition has at least two capacities, Intellect & Reason. Reason sorts things our, explores them and uses lots of words. The intellect is deeper, more subtle, more like spirit. It doesn't need words.
