Orthodoxy is not about methods of praying, or "magical" tips about it. It's all about being free from passions and praying to our Lord with your own words! Greetings from Greece!

Not to be offensive, but you don't seem to know much about Orthodox prayer. You're right that it isn't about magical tips, but the Orthodox Church is a liturgical church. No Christian prays on his own, but rather always with the whole church, to which he is united. Its fine to use your own words during prayer, but there are certainly prescribed prayers to be recited daily. The Psalms or the Jesus Prayer are examples. I think you need to read a bit more into the Orthodox tradition of prayer.

My friend. I think that you misunderstood me !!!! What I ment was that if you want to experience "magical" things into Orthodoxy is wrong and totally off!!! Elder Efraim Katounakiotis (Mount Athos) used to say that if you don't understand what your saying, it's better to pray in your own words. Orthodoxy is not like Black Magic, or any other "religion". It's your heart that matters, not practises.... Seems that I do know something, don't I?

Where can someone learn how to pray? I was muslim, and converted to Orthodoxy a few months ago. I am Egyptian, and want to pray using the COPTIC method. Is there a video that shows someone how to prostrate and kneel correctly? Please.

Ill try to post one for you soon. However, Orthodox prostration closely resembles muslim prostration with the exeption of the addition of the metanoia. Any additional questions, feel free to message me.

I looked and couldn't find one for you. However, God is fine with however you express your love for Him. Have Jesus's love in your heart. Love Jesus, yourself, and those around you, and pray with your whole heart and soul. If possible, you can go to a Coptic church.

Hey congratulations on your salvation =D

Honestly, Jesus Christ is great. He wouldn't mind you praying in any language or in any method, so long as you have a loving relationship with Him =)

Wait u have only one book?
We have about 4 books, and it corresponds with the Divine Liturgy (the liturgical calendar)
Basically whatever Mass is said that day is also continued with the Divine Office.
