getting mechanical

Been
really busy leading up to Easter time - sorry for not being around
to post. Just recently I found myself praying the Jesus Prayer
quite fast and mechanically - it wasn't a prayer of my heart - I
was just 'saying' it. What helped me was to slow down, take two or
three words with each breath in and out, and focus on what I was
saying and what it meant. I wonder too, how hard it is to pray the
prayer on your own - Jesus promises: 'For where two or three are
gathered in my name, I am there among them.' Now does the gathering
have to be physically together, or can it be spiritual and from a
distance? Andrew
