This prayer was developed by the late Russian Orthodox Bishop Anthony Bloom in 1970 to help people who wanted to begin contemplative prayer but found it hard to settle into the silence. It is found in his book "Beginning to Pray," and this meditation leads you through the three simple steps with 3 minutes of silence for each step. Many people who find centering prayer daunting warm up to this gentle way of easing into contemplation.
