Brianchaninov not only explains how the prayer works and how to prepare for the practice, but puts forth several teachings from Greek and Russian mystics on the Jesus Prayer. He also discusses the pitfalls that can be encountered along the way and how to avoid them, as well as "material aids," such as the rosary and posture, for the practice.
