The Jesus Prayer is the place where Christianity & Eastern religions meet. Ceaseless prayer resembles Japa (the ancient Eastern spiritual practice of repeating a mantra). In the book, The Way of the Pilgrim, an Eastern European peasant who is also an Orthodox Christian, sets off on a journey of Faith by repeating the Jesus Prayer constantly in his Heart. Premasudha describes this powerful tool for coming out of your mind and into your heart. The practice of Ceaseless Prayer really does transform us!

The Jesus prayer is Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me.

It can also be Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner which is you know the old fashioned the old fashioned expression it's it's it's intended to be of humility calling oneself a sinner it's not like branding oneself as a failure it's it's humble humble now this the Jesus prayer is to be said continuously when it again it is where the eastern religions and Christianity meet is in the Jesus prayer because it actually is to be said like a mantra with exactly the same results that finally what happens is you know somebody who continues to say their mantra will finally hear it being spoken inside them it will just be repeated continuously and the same thing happens with the Jesus prayer somebody just keeps saying it finally becomes like an internal prayer that has a life of its own hold on to the divine with all your might and let yourself go deeper let the creator solve these things solve these blocks melt them bring you out of these old vasanas from other lives you get lifted out of them and you get lifted out more easily the more pure you keep your mind so you know you don't want to fight negative thoughts but witness them at least the creator is totally in control of our lives so have mercy upon me is the admission of that but the creator is total control over our lives i'm a mama's running the show some people might find it easier to repeat that than a mantra but you could do the mantra and think of it like a ceaseless prayer
