Message now transferred to Praxis......

Some months ago I started using the Jesus Prayer I have found strength, spiritual growth and an increased closeness to the Lord since that time and would like to share experiences with others who have discovered a new dimension as a result of praying in this way.
I am not Orthodox: my spiritual strength is derived from New Monasticism as expressed by the Northumbria Community. This is a dispersed community, with members from across the world. It is based on a blend of Celtic Christianity with Desert Monasticism.

Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen!

Dear John,
there is already a very active discussion on the Jesus Prayer (6 pages and growing) in the forum Ascesis and the Praxis of Orthodox Life (http://www.monachos.net/mb/messages/4226/4226.html?1052802429). Your experiences will be most welcome there.

John.
