    The Jesus Prayer is also called the Prayer of the Heart. In Orthodoxy, the mind and heart are to be used as one. St Theophan tells us to keep our "mind in the heart" at all times. Heart means the physical muscle pumping blood, and emotions/feelings, and the innermost core of the person, the spirit. Heart is associated with the physical organ, but not identical with it. Heart means our innermost chamber, our secret dwelling place where God lives.

    "The heart is but a small vessel; and yet dragons and lions are there, and there poisonous creatures and all the treasures of wickedness; rough, uneven paths are there, and gaping chasms. There likewise is God, there are the angles, the heavenly cities and the treasures of grace; all things are there." So says St. Macarius.

    Someone said the heart is a dimension of interior consciousness, awareness, where we come in touch with an inner space, a space of no dimensions. This consciousness is timeless, the place where tears reside and deep contact with the present moment abide, and from which restful movement comes. Acting out of our heart means to act lightly, with vigor and enthusiasm. When not in that inner awareness, we are restless, agitated and self-concerned.

    There is within us a space, a field of the heart, in which we find a Divine Reality, and from which we are called to live. The mind, then, is to descend into that inner sanctuary, by means of the Jesus Prayer or wordless contemplation, and to stay there throughout our active day, and evening. We descend with our mind into our heart, and we live there.

    The heart is Christ's palace. There, Christ the King comes to take His rest.

    Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

    That saved a wretch like me.

    I once was lost but now am found,

    Was blind, but now I see.

    When Jesus came into my heart I felt so much peace

    and love there are no words to explain this experience.

    I also pray in silence.

    I find I learn more when I listen to God.

    God Bless You.

    i hit upon no convenience in prayer, yet i understand that many human beings in desperate circumstances will locate convenience in believing in a miles better means, if in common terms for a 2d, or a jiffy. i could question this as no longer being atheistic, yet something of the time they are atheistic and deny the existence of a god. it is totally attainable that it rather is a cultural factor. i'm an atheist, yet say "Oh god" whilst combating something. To me it rather is not prayer, yet a cultural linguistic idiom. jointly as the prayer your spouse says is a much extra in touch prayer than "oh god" could be, understanding the way that catholics are stated (very strictly), it does no longer suprise me if it had basically been drummed into her, and is repeated offhand. in spite of this, there's a nicely widely used word from the wars, "There are no longer any atheists in foxholes"...

    No. Nor do I ever plan to.

    In fact, if that was the only book left in existence, I would just read more graphic novels.
