Songs of One Breath – Fridays

Explore the pure, joyful, direct experience of mysticism rooted in practice, song, body prayer and mantra.

Every Friday Jilani will be online, sharing chants, body prayers and breath practices from different traditions. Join on Zoom (see link below), or on Facebook Live.

These are the practices which have brought comfort, grounding and even bliss over the millennia to humans just like us, aware of our limited physical nature and our fragility, but also aware of our infinite nature, and the awe-inspiring, loving vastness of all-that-is, in which we live and move and have our being.

I encourage you to join this journey, the path of the heart, of spiritual freedom, leading to more vibrant life and awakening, and dedicated to the alleviation of suffering. Seek out opportunities to explore and encounter the bliss and ecstasy of deep connection and mystical experience.

2.30pm London, 6.30am San Francisco, 9.30pm Singapore, 11.30pm Melbourne.

Breathing in Bliss, Breathing out Serenity

Welcome to another episode of “Songs of One Breath,” where we explore the transformative power of breath and mantra. This episode invites listeners to embark on a journey of self-connection and unity through simple yet profound practices. We begin with the mantra “So Hum,” focusing on the breath as a tool to affirm our oneness with all that is, breathing in universal energy and breathing out into serene surrender.

We delve into the wisdom of ancient texts, exploring the Shiva breath practices that guide us to experience life beyond form and connect with the infinite. Through the practice of breathing in bliss and breathing out serenity, we learn to embrace each moment with presence and peace, letting go of stress and finding safety within ourselves.

The episode also introduces body prayers using Arabic phrases, offering a soothing ritual of love and unity. By engaging with our breath and gentle movements, we nurture a sense of belonging and peace, reconnecting with our true essence.

Ruach and Shalom: Breathing Peace Into the World

In this reflective episode of Songs of One Breath, listeners are invited into a gentle meditation exploring the sacred nature of breath. Drawing on Jewish wisdom and the Hebrew word Ruach—meaning breath, wind, and Spirit—the session offers a simple practice of mindful breathing, connecting each inhale and exhale to the shared life force that unites all beings.

The episode also introduces the Hebrew word Shalom, reflecting on the deep human longing for peace, both within ourselves and in the world around us. Listeners are encouraged to seek peace in their own hearts, recognising that inner peace can ripple outward into communities and beyond.

Blending music, silence, and spiritual reflection, this episode offers a calm, grounding space to reconnect with body, breath, and the hope of peace.

One Breath, One Spirit: Aramaic Chant and Elemental Breath Meditation

Join Jilani for Songs of One Breath on Zoom, Facebook Live every Friday. If you feel benefit from anything we have shared, please consider making a donation to support us in our work via PayPal.

In this meditative episode of Songs of One Breath, Jilani guides us into the mystery of the breath as sacred connection — drawing on the original Aramaic words of Jesus. Beginning with lines from the Lord’s Prayer and the Beatitudes in Aramaic, this session reminds us that breath itself is the Divine — unity breathing in and through us.

Flowing between chant and silence, listeners are invited to explore a powerful elemental breath meditation:

Earth breath (nose-nose)
Water breath (nose-mouth)
Fire breath (mouth-nose)
Air breath (mouth-mouth)
Subtle breath (nose or both)

Each breath aligns with body, nature, and spirit — culminating in a deeper awareness of Ruach, the Holy Spirit, as the shared breath that connects all life.

With chants of Allah (Unity) and Ruach (Breath, Wind, Spirit), this gentle yet profound session offers grounding, healing, and the embodied experience of oneness with all creation. Let yourself be breathed.
