    Hesychasm

    This particular page was about Jesus Prayer, I read other pages about Hasychasm, it seemed everything was based on the experience of God's energies through the prayer and breathing. Part of it was from Aristotel's theory I believe about the essense and energy of God. What are you referring to...

    Anyone interested in weight loss?

    By the same talken, God doesn't expect us to go through life on our own. We should always count on Him and trust Him for guidance and help. What is the ratio though?

    Anyone interested in weight loss?

    What about those groups that claim you can lose weight by just praying? I don't want to sound like I have a lack of faith, but somehow I am having doubts about it.

    I would like to join. I started an exercise program, it's not extremely vigourous yet, but I am increasing it slowly. I eat 3 small meals a day and do not eat snacks, sometimes I crave for chocolate, but not every day, maybe once a week. But exercising does not make you loose weight, for that...
