7 July 2023 | Jilani Cordelia | Songs of One Breath | Blessed are the pure in heart

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.

The world stands out on every side no wider than the heart is wide.
(Edna St. Vincent Millay)

Cast aside the 10,000 things,
And love only one.
Don’t go onto another.

Engage your lively awareness
With this one focus –-
One object, one thought, one symbol.
Now go inside.
Find the centre,
The soul, the heart.

Right here,
In the middle of the feeling,
Attend the blossoming—
Attention vast as the sky.
(Radiance Sutras 39)

Aligned with the One are those whose lives radiate from a core of love; they shall see God everywhere (Beatitude No. 6)
