Acknowledge God's unchanging, ever-present reality.
His "practice" requires no special time, skills, or training. At any moment, regardless of what we're doing or what our circumstances are, if our soul seeks to know God, we can "practice the presence" and gain that knowledge: The Lord is always with us, He is our refuge, no matter what our situation appears to be.
We only need to acknowledge this as an unchanging, ever-present reality, and the incredible joy that Brother Lawrence experienced will become ours as well.
Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Don't stifle the Spirit.
If the Lord is already with me, how does that change how I pray?
How can I pray without worrying about technique?
