I'd love some decent resources on this too! I've noticed that internet searches tend to turn up a whole lot of bad information. For example, searching for "contemplative prayer" turns up results mostly from frothing-at-the-mouth Protestant fundamentalist websites which do nothing but denounce the practice in the tone of shrill indignation (i.e. how DARE people have their own spiritual experiences!!) for being "unbiblical." The vastly more sane Catholic and Orthodox explanations of this practice tend to be buried beneath those obnoxious and unhelpful results.
This actually has me thinking of a potential project: to put up a website that explains these practices in a positive and informative manner, and uses an assortment of keywords to bump these articles up in the search results. Articles would also contain links to helpful books and other resources on these topics. It seems like there's a lot of very beneficial practices from the old sacramental churches that have been almost left for dead and can be very easily reclaimed and repurposed myriad spiritual persuasions.
