Praying in the Spirit

I never really knew what it means till today. We were reciting a decade of the rosary and slowed down in the midst of it, because we were not meaning the words of the prayers. We were to let the Spirit pray for us instead.

I was able to do so, praise the Lord! I felt as if it was not me anymore praying and the words were beyond their very nature. It is not that I did not mean the words but that I was past their meaning and their created purpose. I felt as if I was distant from them and I was blocked by a mist before me. This refers to the conscious me. Could this be a step closer to receiving the gift of tongues from the Spirit? Is that how people who pray in that way feel as they do so?
