Praying

When I was young I used to go to church and pray. To be honest I did not really think about why I did it, my parents and the church set the example. From the age of 13, I stopped being a regular visitor of the Catholic Church.
I stopped believing in God. In fact I stopped believing, period.
Around the age of 24 I reembarked on my spiritual journey. Started doing yoga, learning about mindfulness, meditation and body and breath work. The practice became part of my daily routine. I discovered the benefits of being aware of my spiritual health. The balance between body mind spirit that is.
Recently I added praying to my meditation practice. Why?
