I'm a daily Christian centering prayer & welcoming prayer person who has practiced these same techniques "religiously" for 15 years.

Either I've achieved a so-called higher state of consciousness or I've sedated myself, disengaged and floated off.
Also, since starting this technique 15 years ago, I haven't had telepathic experiences anymore.
From these experiences I've started to ask - where are my brain waves when I'm in Centering Prayer? And of course, how can I manipulate the best brain for being engaged, for instance, in my income producing work, and the best brain for calming the monkey-mind, and the best brain for developing telepathy -- and so forth.
I'm paying attention to the claims of various entrainment websites and cd's, and find the information helpful but not total to my questions. So I wondered if others have noticed something similar or have a comment.

Hi Wehr
Have you check out the FAQs on this site, especially the following:
Brainwave States
Meditation
should bring us benefits of greater peace and insight etc into our lives. (OK
should is a bad word but....)
Have you noticed any positive results in your use of Centering Prayer? What are you looking for? If you still had telepathy as a personal resource, what would you want even more as a result of your spiritual practices?
There's no doubt that Lifeflow can help you entrain to particular frequencies to enhance your work and meditation. But I'm not clear about what you're asking. Do you suspect it's your practices that leave you dissatisfied, or do you feel you're not going deep enough or gaining more clarity? Or is it just that you want the telepathy to return?
I did a "Centering Prayer" retreat a long while ago and liked it - if I remember, it was mantra based. I don't know what Welcoming Prayer is though, so if you feel like sharing I'd be interested.
At any rate, I hope you find what you're looking for
