Meditation and contemplative prayer have been shown to calm the brain, improve health and relaxation, increase cognitive ability and concentration, etc. In this article we shall present the reverse process, namely the effects of a rested brain on the practice of meditation and contemplative prayer. Based on a survey (interviews) of people who regularly meditate and practise contemplative prayer, we will show whether rest, sleep quality, and time spent practising contemplative prayer or meditation have an impact on the results that these two activities bring. Finally, we will show whether the relationship between rest and contemplative prayer or meditation is a one-way or two-way process.
