Centering Prayer is a satanic delusion: perpetrated by apostate Catholic monks Thomas Keating, and Basil Pennington; finding expression in their book Finding Grace at the Centre, which offers the following advice:

"We shouldkeating1 not hesitate to take the fruit of the age-old wisdom of the East and "capture" it for Christ. Indeed, those of us who are in ministry should make the necessary effort to acquaint ourselves with as many of the Eastern techniques as possible. Many Christians who take their prayer life seriously have been greatly helped by Yoga, Zen, TM and similar practices, especially where they have been initiated by reliable teachers and have a solidly developed Christian faith to find inner form and meaning to the resulting experiences"

Keating and Pennington have blended their Catholic theology, monastic experience and contemplative practice, with Eastern mysticism, producing a contemplative prayer method they call Centering Prayer.
