I'm probably making this too complicated.
Yeah, but it's kinda funny.
Responding to the OP, I would say that if words like "worship" trigger feelings of recoil due to your embedded associations, you might wish to try to work your way around those in order to appreciate the implied experience of communion with Divinity.
As I mentioned above, love comes in many, many forms. Communion of one sort or another with Divinity is a precious, vital experience of a type of love. If you can find such hither or thither, please follow your personal inclinations.
Now, the above statement presupposes that you can hold an experience of holy communion while putting to the side the messed up ways so many religionists have treated the world. If you cannot do this, then equating worship with a kind of communion probably won't work for you as a thought construct. But there are many, many forms of love, find those that work for you. After all, if every path to realisation worked for you, you'd probably never have a moment's rest.
Lastly, referring again to the OP, you asked about personal experiences. For many years I also found this concept confusing, but here's how I view it now. For me it's not a striving to reach and connect with anything, per se, it's a little time of dialing my presence in to my deepest awareness of Transcendent Love--along with my guides and helpers--and offering gratitude and light to the symphonic NOW. Thereby, it's one means of linking my limited, temporal being to my far larger, untouchable self. The guides and helpers, along with my desire, act as shuttle which allows me to barely inhale the subtle perfume of Divinity.
That's what I might call "worship." It could be akin to what Ra calls "tabernacling with the Creator," but I have no idea what that means.
