Get rid of all the thoughts and images in your head and clear your mind. Put your mind into the words. Read slower as well, because it helps to get rid of any thoughts once they come, as well as putting, as I said, your mind into the words. Sometimes, if you know prayers by heart, it is easier if you close your eyes. Sometimes the old rite tradition of crossing your arms also helps. Anyway I am the last person that should be giving advices, but none of these are my words. I suggest you getting a book by St. Ignatius Brianchaninov \"On Jesus Prayer\", which you can find on Amazon.
