On the Prayer of Jesus Brianchaninov IgnatiusPaperback
The Jesus Prayer is based on the power of the name of the Lord. Hesychasm gives expression to the method of enlightenment that has been in use in Christian monasteries in the East almost from Apostolic times. In this exceptional translation of Bishop Brianchaninov's essay on the Jesus Prayer, we are introduced to a spiritual exercise known as Hesychasm.
Finally, when complete concentration has been attained, the prayer is carried down into the heart using the rhythm of the heart beat. The practice of Hesychasm falls into three parts: the prayer is repeated aloud to condition the body/ then it is prayed silently in order to condition the mind. Bishop Brianchaninov not only explains how the prayer works and how to prepare for the practice but puts forth several teachings from Greek and Russian mystics on the Jesus Prayer.
Among these are St. Barsanouphius, Dorotheus the Russian,
Yoga and the Jesus Prayer
On the Historicity of Jesus
Prayer of the Frog
Origen on Prayer
The Death of Jesus
