In this gentle episode of Songs of One Breath, we explore the sacred act of listening: to life, to breath, and to the quiet wisdom within. Starting from the ancient call, “Hear, all you who struggle with God… the Lord your God is One,” this session guides you into silence beneath the noise of the world, inviting you to reconnect with the unifying presence of life itself.

Through Sufi breath chants (Ya Hay, Ya Qayyum), Shiva meditation, and the sunrise song of the Zuni people, you are led into an embodied practice of listening and awakening. Together, we greet the rising sun, connect with Mother Earth, and reflect on life’s simple, persistent question: How is life calling you?

Blending chant, meditation, and body prayer, this episode is a call to deepen your awareness and return to the sacred rhythm of the One Breath.

In this reflective episode of Songs of One Breath, we explore the theme of spiritual guidance through chant, meditation, and gentle body prayers. Beginning with a Sufi-inspired chant—”Use us for the purpose that Thy wisdom chooses”—listeners are invited to rest in silence, drop into the wisdom of their own bodies, and seek connection with the spirit of guidance.

Drawing from Sufi mysticism and Shiva breath practices, this session blends contemplative meditation, breath awareness, and healing chants like “Let me do Thy will, Allah”. A Hebrew prayer, Hineni—”Here I am”—encourages us to offer ourselves in service and attentiveness to divine purpose.

This episode includes simple body movements to accompany the chants, creating an embodied prayer experience. Take this meditation into your week as a quiet mantra: “Guide me to the purpose for which I am born on the earth.”

A spacious, gentle practice for anyone seeking clarity, healing, and inner listening.

Our hearts are linked with Mother Earth.
