Dear friends:
We were wondering the best way to start this journey and it seems to us that experience would be the best aproach.  So, let's do something practical in order to learn easier:

First of all think about prayer as practicing any kind of excercise. 

When you start to practice excercising (it would be very convenient or beneficial if you actually start practicing any physical excercise) you get ready.  It means that you have to go shoping for some clothing, weights, etc. and whatever else you need.  This means that you may want to shop for your prayers as for example a Bible (if you don't have any) a little daily prayer book, a rosary, and/or anything that calls your attention.

You also want to decide where you want to excercise.  You may want to exercise at home, with some videos, or you want to run around the block, or you may want to join a club.  

Same thing with prayers.  You will want to decide where you will pray.  At home (what place), walking around the block, at a particular church, etc.

Once you have made the above decisions you have to think about how long you want to excercise and when.  Usually morning excercises are the best and the doctors recommendations are usually at least 1/2 an hour a day or every other day.

Well, guess what!  same thing with prayers!  Morning prayers are the best and the experts recommendations are the same as physical excercises.  But, you are just starting, 10 minutes will be enough and everyother day will also be enough.  You just have to keep focused and be persistant.
