a spiritual discipline
try it
get into a place of solitude and say nothing
try 2 minutes at first
no phone
no screens
no conversations
set an alarm if you need to
Say to God “help me to have 2 minutes of silence”
breathe deeply, slowly
try to think of nothing
If you stray, try praying the Jesus Prayer silently “Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior, have mercy on me.”
Try it daily for a week.
if you can do two minutes without too much distracting in-your-head-noise, try three minutes, four…
“Lord Jesus Christ Son of God, Savior, have mercy on me.”
