Lost, delirium with children towards the female monastery. We arrive, go to the local Icon shop, where I see in front of him a small book, what a lot.

If you open akathist, which I have already said, then you will read the amazing lines on the eve of it: "... having grace". Grace what? "Looking for wisdom, mind ..." Here's get rid! Hope, for the way you see.
Icon
Yes, this akathist read before the icon, which is also called "the addition of the mind." Each icon of God's Mother is unique, but many lists have a lot of them. For example, "Odigitria". Some icons are characterized dramatically. It is that this icon belongs to this: God's mother is depicted with a baby in full growth, but she seems to be placed in the bell (the fellon, which is gangnates of Our Lady and the baby Christ), and around her - the Angels are bright, who listen and serve her.

Modern researchers assume that the iconography of this image originally developed only in the XVI century. However, we reached us only lists of late XVII and XVIII century. There is a legend arguing that Icon was written by an unknown icon painter in those times when the split in the Russian Orthodox Church occurred.
Tradition
According to legend, the icon painter, who wrote an icon in the XVII century, suffered from the loss of mind. For work, he took at the direction of the Virgin itself, who prayed for healing from this ailment. When the work was finished, he healed. So approves the legend, and there is no reason to doubt it. August 28 - the day of the memory of the shrine.
More ancient story
An even more ancient story of this icon is described in the Akathist itself, which states that she was written was the Apostle Luka on the blessing of the Virgin itself. Blessing, she utters words: "My grace and power will be graceful." At the same time, a house in the ITALE Earth is mentioned in the Akathist. The house located in Grada Loreto in Nazareth, which I icon is sanctified. And indeed, there is such a city, but there the Virgin Mary is not written on the icon, her image conveys us a statue made of cedar wood. And the top of the onion was really written the very first icon, which is the prototype of all subsequent icons.Image
But let's talk about the image. You can consider it a little more thorough:
Angels surrounding the Virgin Keep the candles in their hands, and at the feet it is not just angels, but cherubs. They are over her head, which is covered with a royal crown. The crown is covered with a baby's head, in the left hand of which - the Power. On the sides of the arch, which is located at the top of the icon, there are burning lamps. On some lists the inscription is placed below:
Temples in which there are lists
This icon has other names: "The Mind Key", "The Summer Summer". The point does not change. Its different lists are located in different cities of Russia, including in Tutaev (Pokrovsky Temple) and Moscow in the temple of the Tikhvin icon of the Mother of God.
How to pray before the icon
Of course, there are certain canons in prayer. No wonder the Holy Fathers rule was, the acathists wrote. There should be an order and chin in everything.Akathist before the icon of the Mother of God "Adjusting the mind", like any other Akathist, is supposed to read. Women - with a covered head. Before you start reading, you should get acquainted with the reading of the accumulations and only then read the Akathist himself.
How to pray where
You can pray at home by buying the image of God's Mother. The constancy is a very important point: I will define an hour and read, notice all the cases aside. This is especially important in serious illnesses or when children are sick. If possible, go to the temple where there is this miraculous icon. Will worship her, ask his heart in the great silence, she will hear.
Help invisible
You can make a whole list of those ailments in which they pray in front of this miraculous icon:- memory loss;
- madness;
- nervous breakdown;,
- phobias, etc.
First of all, it helps in spiritual illnesses. Pray in front of it and in cases where the assignment is necessary. In Yaroslavl, this icon is brought from Tutayev before the start of the school year, because it helps children in teaching.
Not this main thing
Sometimes some are surprised why one helps, others - no. Here the woman prayed once, and healed the same thing. Another whole life prays, and there is no healing ... why? Because every person the Lord gives the cross. We save the cross, the psychology is like that, otherwise we cannot fix us. That is why, when we pray, always add: "Let your will be!", For it is not always a healing useful for us.
Believe and will be you
Another point - everyone is given by faith. Not at the execution of traditions, not by the execution of the ritual, but by faith. Here, from each demand is different: to whom it is more given, with that more and asked. Believe as much as you can! And you will be your faith. The main thing is not to doubt. It turns out when not tea, at the most right moment.Gratitude
This is what we always forget about and what we need. Hopelis has a wonderful fairy tale about how her husband and wife forgot to thank God. Sad story, through a lot had to go for such an increasing deed.
Do not forget! Always thank. Thank you for all! For joy and ... for grief.
