I always find stillness when i put Jesus Christ my first priority every morning and all throughout the day. Meditating on his word and meditating on “the Jesus prayer”. Having a spiritual habit of prayer every hour of every day in my life. Reading scriptures (the bible) and applying the them into my life and in my heart and in my day to day walk with Christ. To pursue Christ. Stillness will come naturally in life when you prioritize Jesus Christ first in everything you do
I view hesychasm as inner sabbath prayer or heartful rest. Other forms of prayer require some sort of work. I think for every six times we work at prayer, we should one time enter into sabbath prayer. It was Jesus' habit to set himself apart by going to a secluded place in prayer at dawn when it was still dark. He slipped away to a secret place to pray in secret to his Father who sees in secret. Besides theosis, the practice or discipline of contemplation leads to katharsis or purification of the soul. The soul enters into phrenoma as it takes on the mind of Christ, becoming illumined in preparation for theosis.
Your Grace I beesech you please pray for my daughters...

Do you set a timer? Or are you just in his presence praying continually

Amen, Dear Bishop Irenei. So beautifully expressed, and so wonderful that God is pleased to dwell with and in us!
To borrow a line from Lenny Kravitz,
"All that I want is
Stillness of heart
So I can start
To find my way
Out of the dark
And into your heart"

Is stillness or hysichia attainable for a layman that is sorrounded by chaotic home let alone the world?
Yes!we all have access to the same power via the sacrements! We can all strive to be holy, even if you are a laymen
