There is a book called (I think) The Russian Pilgrim that talks about one man's experience with praying the prayer. The book is a reprint of a *very* old book also. The prayer is "Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me". You say half on the inhale and half on the exhale. This prayer is starting to get more popular lately. I have seen it mentioned in modern books. -- cs.utexas.edu!halley!marym, marym@halley.UUCP, marym@halley.mpd.tandem.com --- cs.utexas.edu!halley!marym, marym@halley.UUCP, marym@halley.mpd.tandem.com
