Hugh of Balma explains other means of arriving at a truly contemplative prayer. He made much of the usefulness of "anagogic movements" of the soul using short upward movements of mind and heart and fervent aspirations. These movements would then build up and maintain the desire of tending toward God. This type of anagogic prayer and the Cloud of Unknowing, which was also written by Hugh of Balma, is evident. The works of Hugh of Balma that teach the way of unitive prayer have inspired many teachings of known people like Henry of Herp, Bernardino of Laredo, Jean Gerson, and many others.
