The mind during prayer according to OO.

What do OO believe the mind should be doing during prayer? Are they strictly to lock onto the words of the prayers like the hesychasts teach? Are they okay with picturing icons while praying like the Latins? Something else entirely? What’s the ideal for OO?

I thought you all might enjoy this.

This is my local Latin cathedral in Covington, KY. This is largest stained glass window in the Western Hemisphere. The reason I posted it here is that it depicts Ephesus 431 - it’s fitting that the cathedral is dedicated to Our Lady (of the Assumption).
