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.
