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.
Deeper Into the Heart of Love
Radhe Bolo
Only Love is flowing here
Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche No. 50
All around you, in every moment,
The world is offering a feast for your senses.
Songs are playing,
Tasty food is on the table,
Fragrances are in the air,
Colours fill the eyes with light.
You who long for union,
Attend this banquet with loving focus.
The outer and inner worlds
Open to each other.
Oneness of vision, oneness of heart.
Right here in the midst of it all,
Mount that elation, ascend with it,
Become identical with the ecstatic essence
Embracing both worlds.
Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche No. 51
Whenever, wherever you feel carried away,
Rejoicing in every breath,
There, there is your meditation hall.
Cherish these times of absorption –
Rocking the baby in the silence of the night,
Pouring water into a crystal glass,
Tending the logs in a crackling fire,
Sharing a meal with a circle of friends.
Embrace these pleasures and know,
“This is my true body.”
Nowhere is more holy than this.
Right here is the secret pilgrimage.
Live in alertness for such a moment, my Beloved,
As if it were your one meeting with the Creator.
