in the presence of God
who is always present there to help you.
Fix your loving attention upon Him
without any desire
to feel or hear anything of God."
( St John of the Cross )

(Artur de Paula)
"Only experience and use can show its worth in rhythmically directing awareness to a certain fixed point, and keeping it there. The word, phrase, name, invocation, sentence, or image provides him with a certain power of concentration."
