Prayer is the process where a person seeks to communicate with God.
Mystic (from the Greek μυστικην) is an adjective that means 'partly shrouded', where the full meaning can never be grasped.
Mystic prayer therefore can never be made fully comprehensible, but is shrouded in mystery. On the other hand, since man is a being of transcendence, "Mystery in incomprehensibility is what is self-evident to man"
In the mystic prayer, the transcendental-anthropological man is realized. .
Experience
The direct experience of the mystic prayer involves intuition, instinct or insight. In his book The Law of Christ Vol.II/life in fellowship with God and fellow man, Bernhard Häring wrote:
Mysticism usually centers on a practice or practices intended to nurture those experiences or awareness. In Christianity, this is understood as happening because of the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is a law "in Christ Jesus". For the Holy Spirit is for us the gift of Christ exalted in glory and signifies vital incorporation into Christ. "No one, therefore, can enter into communion with God except through Christ, by the working of the Holy Spirit”.

Background
Rex Roy is an automotive enthusiast, writer and photographer. He writes from the perspective of an automotive enthusiast. His work is widely published by multiple print and on-line outlets, including occasional contribution to The New York Times and weekly filings to AutomobileMag.com.
Roy graduated from the University of Michigan Ann Arbor in 1984 and got his start in the automotive industry via his father's business, Ross Roy Communications. Ross Roy Communications was a merchandising and advertising agency in Detroit that enjoyed a long period of success spanning from 1928-1981. The agency was known primarily for its work in dealer and merchandising programs for Chrysler Corporation, Kmart, Kelly Services, and others. After Ross Roy retired in the early 1980s, the firm endured questionable leadership and was later sold and absorbed into a series of national advertising agencies ending with BBDO.
