Songs of One Breath is a weekly online space with Jilani Cordelia Prescott to explore the direct, joyful experience of mysticism through practice. Each Friday she shares chants, mantra, breath practices and body prayer drawn from a range of traditions, offered as grounding, comfort, and a pathway of the heart toward deeper connection and spiritual freedom. You are warmly invited to join live on Zoom (or via Facebook Live) at 2.30pm London time, and it is free. If you enjoy the class or the podcast, and would like to support Jilani’s work, donations are welcome via PayPal.
Enter these turning points,
where the rhythms of life transform
Into each other.
Breath flows in, filling, filling,
And flowing out again,
Leaving and returning like a bird migrating.
With each breath, feathers brush against the face of God.
Throats open into a vast expanse
And we are translated.
Wake up to that, and drink the elixir of transformation.
Vigyan Bhairav Tantra
With Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum la ilaha il’llah

Hazrat Inayat Khan: “The secret of mysticism is to break through all the differences and to touch that oneness which is the very source of our being.”
