Descend From Your Head Into Your Heart

(St. Theophan - found here)

“You must descend from your head into your heart.
At present your thoughts of God are in your head.
And God Himself is, as it were, outside you, and
so your prayer and other spiritual exercises remain exterior.
Whilst you are still in your head, thoughts will not easily
be subdued but will always be whirling about, like snow
in winter or clouds of mosquitoes in summer.”
~St. Theophan
