Am I Wrong in Saying Hesychasm is Contemplative Prayer in Every Sense of the Term?

I now quote the Encylopedia Britannica Online:

Hesychasm (Eastern Orthodoxy)

In Eastern Christianity, type of moanstic life in which practitioners seek divine quietness (Greek hēsychia) through the contemplation of God in uninterrupted prayer. Such prayer, involving the entire human being—soul, mind, and body—is often called “pure,” or “intellectual,” prayer or the Jesus prayer. St. John Climacus, one of the greatest writers of the Hesychast tradition, wrote, “Let the remembrance of Jesus be present with each breath, and then you will know the value of the hēsychia.” In the late 13th century, St. Nicephorus the Hesychast produced an even more precise “method of prayer,” advising novices to fix their eyes during prayer on the “middle of the body,” in order to achieve a more total attention, and to “attach the prayer to their breathing.” This practice was violently attacked in the first half of the 14th century by Barlaam the Calabrian, who called the Hesychasts omphalopsychoi, or people having their souls in their navels.

It seems clear to me that this practice is not about Christ, but about us and what we do to connect to God.

Again... Crux sola est nostra theologia (The Cross alone is our theology).
