Use Monthly Desert Retreats
- Take regular private 'pustena' retreats to encounter God in intentional solitude.
- Use the time to slow inwardly and focus on persistent prayer and discernment.
Interior Vs Exterior Silence
- Interior silence and exterior silence are distinct and complementary for deeper prayer.
- Intentional liturgical pauses (like 15 minutes of Jesus Prayer) calm the mind for richer worship.
Practice The Jesus Prayer With Breathing
- Pray the Jesus Prayer with breathing under spiritual direction to avoid unhealthy habits.
- Breathe in 'Lord Jesus Christ' and breathe out 'Son of God; breathe in 'have mercy on me' and breathe out 'a sinner'.
