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.
Om Hum So Hum
Alaha Ruhau
Om Nama Shivaya
Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche, p. 102 No. 67
Shining one, whose body flows with power –-
When you are astonished,
Startled or afraid,
And gasp, a shocked inhalation – AH!
Right there, right there,
Sense the vibration of that gasp on your palate.
The shimmer of that sound in the mouth
Evokes a flood of knowing,
A gush of the divine.
Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche, p. 103 No. 68
Listen to the inner sound,
The one that you rode outward
Into this life,
Into this manifestation of yourself.
Savour the sound of h h h a a a . . .,
Softly continuing, resonating through
All the nerves of your body, permeating,
Expanding everywhere.
Know this as the sound of ongoing creation.
