My inner work has been enhanced greatly with a simple Jesus Prayer bracelet. My inner recognition of certain passions through self observation are magnified with my use of the beaded bracelet along with the Jesus Prayer. During this time, maybe 5 minutes, it is like turbocharged deep dive into the present moment which allows for a more refined observation of these passions, my reactive states, mechanical personality, etc. The bracelet seems to ground my center into the body for stabillity so I can focus on the emotional energies and resultant thoughts that run my reactive, sleeping life.
If I persevere with the repetitive prayer from each bead to another, say 10 minutes of more, I feel a peace that allows my observations to be more objective and dispassionate over my reactive self. I learn more about my reactive self and seem to have received a finer and loving energy of compassion toward this reactive self that can be used with others who suffer from sleep as well.
Gratitude also comes along the way with this prayer because I have received something that was always there waiting for me, and all of us, if we just create a vessel through prayer so to receive it.
Blessings to you all and hope my musings today helped a bit.
Please add clarification to this as you see fit.
Hi, yes I have found that The Jesus Prayer with beads, either bracelet or necklace works wonders for doing the exact things you have described in your message. I have also found that breathing connected with these two applications puts it on an even higher level .
I breath in whilst saying, ' Lord Jesus Christ ' and on the exhalation, ' Have mercy on me '.
Turning a bead after every full prayer.
