That's just conditioned thoughtlessness. That "get out of your mind, get into your spirit" is a formula not based on scripture. Even Paul said that he prayed with his mind exercised, cf 1 Cor 14:14-19, in contrast with the Corinthians who apparently thought that group hysteria was akin to godliness.

This reminded me of a local meeting years ago. An elder brother was speaking about
walking by the Spirit.
Then he gave us a demonstration of how to do this. He took a step, and said "Oh." Took another step, and said "Lord." Then another, "Jesus." and then, "Amen." Repeat.
Seriously?
