Lectio Devina & Centering Prayer

So I'm reading a book called Contemplative Youth Ministry. The section that I just finished talks about lectio devina and centering prayer. I've never tried either, but it seems like basically spending quiet time doing nothing but focusing on God and simply spending time with him. I'm hoping to try it during my sabbath time this month. The guy says to try to do it everyday, but I know I wouldn't be able to just wake up, focus and do it. So I'll wait. JM
