Nikephoros the Monk
Nikephoros the Monk, also called Nikephoros the Hesychast, was a 13th-century monk and spiritual writer of the Eastern Orthodox Church. According to Gregory Palamas,〔Palmer, Sherrand and Ware, p. 192〕 Nikephoros was originally a Roman Catholic but travelled to the Byzantine Empire, where he converted to the Eastern Orthodox faith and became a monk at Mount Athos. Like Theoleptos of Philadelphia, Nikephoros was a strong opponent of the union of the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches which was agreed to at the Council of Lyons in 1274. Because of this, he was imprisoned and later wrote an account of his ordeal.〔Palmer, Sherrand and Ware, p. 192〕
The main theme of Nikephoros’ spiritual writings in the Philokalia is ‘nepsis’ (Greek νήψις) which is usually translated as ''watchfulness'' or ''vigilance''.〔Nikephoros the Monk, “Watchfulness and the Guarding of the Heart”, In: Palmer, Sherrand and Ware, 〕 For those inexperienced in prayer and spiritual self-control, the mind tends to wander and lapse into imagination. Nikephoros described a method of breathing while praying to concentrate the mind within the heart in order to practice watchfulness.〔Nikephoros the Monk, “Watchfulness and the Guarding of the Heart”, In: Palmer, Sherrand and Ware, p. 205〕
