Hesychasm is a contemplative prayer in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Practitioners seek divine quietness (Greek hēsychia) through the contemplation of God in uninterrupted prayer. Such prayer, involves the entire human being—soul, mind. Hesychasm is based on Christ's injunction that "whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." In this practice.
