  1. Don clean underwear.

    Get into car.

    Drive through town in the rush hour when you are not used to it.

    That'll make you pray.

    You can then meditate while watching your underwear go round and round in the washing machine!

  2. There's a joke I've half forgotten about a cab driver telling a priest that he'd helped more people pray than the priest had!
