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.

Let Your ideals and counsel rule, let the will of the Cosmos come to pass, through us.
Focus on Fire rising through your form from the toes up until the body burns to ashes but not you. (Zen Flesh Zen Bones No. 28)
Live for a few days in the meditation,
“I am immersed in the flame –
The flame of time,
The flame of love,
The flame of life.
The universal fire flows through me.”
Step into that fire wholeheartedly, Starting with the big toe,
Then surrendering everywhere.
Only the not-self,
Which doesn’t exist anyway,
Burns away.
Attend to this continually,
And awaken into Tranquility.
Your essence is renewed in the flame, For it is flame and knows itself as flame Since the first heartbeat of creation.
(from The Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche, No. 29)
Sat Narayan Wahe Guru Hare Narayan SatNam
True Sustainer, Indescribable Wisdom, Creative Source, this is my true identity
‘Imagine the entire world consumed by flame.
Stay steady, do not waver,
As fire transmutes form into light.
The soul reveals itself
To itself as Radiance.’
(from The Radiance Sutras by Lorin Roche, No. 30)
‘Meditate on the make-believe world as burning to ashes, and become being above human.’ (Zen Flesh Zen Bones No. 29)
‘I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!’
(Daniel Ladinsky)
