The Jesus Prayer

The short path to the heart

This exploration is coming soon. It will cover the history, theology, and practical method of the Jesus Prayer — the single most important practice in the hesychast tradition.

The exploration will trace the Prayer's origins in the desert, its gradual condensation into its classic form, and the detailed instructions given by masters from Gregory of Sinai to Theophan the Recluse. It will also address common questions and misunderstandings that contemporary practitioners bring to this ancient practice.
