Some research suggests, or states, that the heart is the center of information and not the brain. The heart sends far more info to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. The heart senses something is going to happen before it happens, and therefore, before the brain knows it. I suspect, from the heart, signals go out to people. They avoid or are attracted to us by what is going on with the heart. A contemplative person is probably going to be more attractive to many people who are looking for such things as compassion, love, acceptance and joy.
Now just because you "do" contemplative prayer does not seem to make a person contemplative. Something more is needed. I call it grace. Be open to grace. Get out of yourself, your plans, anxieties, fears, judgments and resentments. It is the work of our life to do this every day. It is hard and you may not find but a few who are trying like you. But each little act of love counts.
