How is it used and would it be a beneficial spiritual practice for a Westerner? I have a chotki and use it, but it doesn’t seem to bear the same fruit as my Rosary.

I’m no expert on the Jesus Prayer, but I’d say at least say don’t judge it based on what you feel.
Hopefully someone more familiar with the practice can correct me if I’m wrong, but praying the Jesus Prayer is completely different than the Rosary. It’s not meant to be a set number of prayers and meditations, but an aid to praying constantly. After years of praying under spiritual direction, there are some who pray the Jesus Prayer with the rythm of their heartbeat.

There are devotions to the Holy Name which appear to be very similar and have evolved divergently.

But, in the East (at least in the Byzantine Tradition) nothing is undertaken without direction from one’s Spiritual Father/Mother. I suggest you chat with your Spiritual Director (as s/he is know in the West) about undertaking this devotion or one similar to it.

If you have not done so, first read THE WAY OF A PILGRIM.
